Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of seals, and particularly relates to a corrosion-resistant oil seal and its surface treatment process. Background Art
[0002] With the development of industrial equipment towards high precision, long life, and extreme environment adaptability, the oil seal of the seal is a key component used in mechanical devices to prevent liquid or gas leakage. It is widely used in industrial equipment, automobiles, household appliances, etc. Its core function is to form a reliable sealing interface through the close contact of elastic materials with the shaft or hole, blocking the leakage of media or the intrusion of impurities. As the core sealing component, its corrosion resistance directly affects the reliability and maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0003] Although traditional oil seal materials (such as nitrile rubber, fluororubber, and polyurethane) have certain oil resistance, they are prone to swelling, aging, and embrittlement under chemical media (such as strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents), high temperature (>150 °C) or low temperature (< -40 °C) working conditions, resulting in seal failure. In addition, traditional surface treatment processes (such as dip coating and spraying) have problems such as insufficient coating adhesion and poor resistance to media penetration, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of complex working conditions.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a corrosion-resistant oil seal and its surface treatment process to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant oil seal and its surface treatment process. By optimizing the material formula and surface treatment process, the corrosion resistance is significantly improved, and the surface layer coating can self-repair through the siliconization reaction when slightly scratched, extending the service life under harsh working conditions.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions.
[0007] The present invention is a corrosion-resistant oil seal and its surface treatment process, including the following components: Outer corrosion-resistant layer: Fluororubber or hydrogenated nitrile rubber, with a total content of 40 - 60%; Polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticles, with a total content of 10 - 20%; Silicon carbide or alumina micropowder, with a total content of 5 - 15%; Graphene dispersion liquid, with a total content of 3 - 8%; Middle reinforcement layer: Aramid fiber fabric or fiberglass cloth, with a total content of 15 - 25%; Epoxy resin impregnating agent, with a total content of 5 - 10%; Inner elastic layer: Silicone rubber or ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, with a total content of 20 - 30%; Nanometer titanium dioxide, with a total content of 2 - 5%.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the outer layer uses fluororubber or hydrogenated nitrile rubber as the matrix. After surface activation by ultrasonic treatment at 30 kHz for 10 minutes, it is compounded with polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticles (particle size 50 - 150 nm, modified with KH - 550 silane coupling agent, Zeta potential of the dispersion liquid - 35 mV), silicon carbide / aluminum oxide micropowder (D50 particle size 25 μm, dispersed with polyvinyl alcohol), and graphene dispersion liquid (concentration 1 - 5 wt%, stabilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate). It is dispersed by a high - speed shearing machine (3000 rpm) and laminated and formed (at 150 - 180 °C, 8 MPa) to form a corrosion - resistant layer with a thickness of 0.1 - 0.3 mm.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the intermediate layer uses aramid fiber fabric (grammage 200 - 300 g / m²) or fiberglass cloth. After being cleaned with acetone, dried at 100 °C, and treated with argon plasma (100 W, 30 seconds), it is impregnated with epoxy resin and hot - pressed and cured at 150 °C for 2 hours, and the interlaminar shear strength reaches 65 N / mm².
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the inner layer uses silicone rubber or ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber as the matrix, adds nanometer titanium dioxide (particle size 10 - 50 nm) and carbon black, and obtains high elasticity through a peroxide or sulfur vulcanization system (150 - 170 °C). Finally, through gradient hot - pressing (inner layer 150 °C / outer layer 180 °C, pressure 8 MPa) compounding, the interfacial shear strength of 35 N / mm² and the thermal conductivity of 0.5 W / m·K are achieved.
[0011] A surface treatment process for a corrosion - resistant oil seal includes the following steps: a. Sand - blast the oil seal to match the surface cleanliness of St3 level, form a micro - rough structure with Ra 0.8 - 1.2 μm, increase the surface area by 2 - 3 times, and significantly improve the mechanical chimeric ability of the coating; b. Use ultrasonic cleaning with acetone / ethanol (40 kHz, 15 minutes), which can completely remove surface grease and processing residues. The cleaning efficiency reaches over 99.5%. After detection by X - ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the surface carbon element content drops from 12% to 0.5%, avoiding the negative impact of organic substances on the bonding force of the coating; c. Use argon plasma (power 150 W, treat for 8 minutes) to introduce active groups such as - NH2 and - COO⁻ on the surface, and increase the surface energy to 105 mN / m, providing chemical bonding sites for the subsequent coating; d. Bottom spraying: After the blend coating of polyphenylene sulfide and polytetrafluoroethylene is cured at 200 °C, it forms a dense network structure with excellent acid and alkali resistance (mass loss < 0.3% after soaking for 72 hours under the condition of pH 2 - 12). Scanning electron microscopy shows that the coating porosity is less than 1%, and the polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticles are evenly dispersed (particle size 80 nm), endowing self-lubricating characteristics (friction coefficient reduced to 0.08); e. Middle layer plating: Electroless nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) alloy (phosphorus content 10%) is deposited in a plating solution with pH 5.0 to obtain an ultrafine structure with a grain size of 20 - 30 nm. The hardness of the plating layer reaches HV800, and the porosity < 0.5%; f. Surface nano-modification: A silica / titania (molar ratio 3:1) nano-film prepared by the sol-gel method forms a sharp interface structure after curing at 150 °C; g. Post-treatment strengthening: A micro-pit array (diameter 50 - 100 μm, depth 10 - 20 μm) is processed on the surface of the oil seal lip using a fiber laser to reduce the friction coefficient; h. Silane coupling agent treatment: KH-550 silane coupling agent is sprayed to enhance the interfacial bonding force between the coating and the rubber matrix; i. Performance test: The oil seal is soaked in 40% sulfuric acid solution for 72 hours, and the mass loss < 0.5%. Under the conditions of a rotational speed of 3000 rpm and a load of 50 N, it runs continuously for 500 hours, and the wear amount of the lip < 0.1 mm. After being placed in an environment of 200 °C for 168 hours, the tensile strength retention rate > 85%.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that in step a, 180-mesh alumina sand is used for the sandblasting treatment of the oil seal, and the pressure is maintained at 0.2 MPa.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that in step d, the mass ratio of the blend of polyphenylene sulfide and polytetrafluoroethylene is 7:3; a high-pressure spraying device is used, and the spraying thickness is 50 - 80 μm.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the silica / titania composite nano-coating prepared by the sol-gel method in step f is baked at 150 °C for 1 hour after dip coating to form a dense nano-film (thickness 2 - 5 μm).
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0016] 1. The present invention realizes super strong corrosion resistance through a multi - protection system of a composite outer layer of fluororubber (FKM) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanoparticles, an electroless nickel - phosphorus (Ni - P) alloy coating, and a silica / titania nano - coating. The chemical inertness of PTFE blocks the penetration of corrosive media. The Ni - P coating forms a passivation film in an acidic environment to inhibit electrochemical corrosion. The dense structure of the silica / titania coating further blocks erosion. After being soaked in a 40% sulfuric acid solution for 72 hours, the mass loss is <0.5%, and there are no swelling cracks on the surface. Compared with traditional oil seals (swelling and cracking), the corrosion - resistant performance is significantly improved. When the surface coating is slightly scratched, it can self - repair through a silicification reaction, extending the service life under harsh working conditions.
[0017] 2. In response to the problem of lip wear under high - speed and high - load conditions, the present invention uses silicon carbide micropowder to strengthen the hardness of the outer layer (Hv≥800), and laser micro - texturing on the lip to form a micro - pit array (diameter 50 - 100μm, depth 10 - 20μm). The coefficient of friction is reduced to 0.05 - 0.1 by hydrodynamic lubrication. The intermediate layer of aramid fiber / epoxy resin composite structure improves the tear strength, and the gradient hot - pressing process enhances the interfacial bonding force. After actual measurement, the lip wear is <0.1mm after continuous operation at 3000rpm and 50N load for 500 hours. The service life is better than that of traditional products, effectively reducing the equipment maintenance cost.
[0018] 3. The improved oil seal of the present invention breaks through the temperature range limitation of traditional rubber oil seals. The inner layer of silicone rubber (VMQ) / ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) and the outer layer of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) coating work together to achieve wide - temperature stability from - 50°C to 250°C. The silica / titania nano - coating has both ultraviolet protection and self - repair functions: the exposed silica in micro - cracks oxidizes under light / heat to form a dense oxide to fill the defects. After being tested by high - temperature aging at 200°C for 168 hours, the tensile strength retention rate is >85%, far exceeding the industry standard, and it is suitable for long - term sealing in extreme environments such as petrochemical pipelines and automobile engines.
