BACKGROUND

[0002] The aviation graphite sealing assembly is composed of a graphite ring, a sealing ring, a stop ring, a wave spring and an O-shaped sealing ring. When working, under the action of the oil pressure, the elastic force of the wave spring pushes the graphite ring to contact the end face of the support ring of the DC motor assembly to realize dynamic sealing, and the O-shaped sealing ring is used to prevent oil medium leakage. In recent years, the sealing failure of the graphite sealing assembly has occurred many times. After disassembling the assembly, it is found that the O-shaped sealing ring is adhered to the graphite ring, and the surface of the O-shaped sealing ring has a concave deformation and a dense pitting morphology formed after local high temperature through the body microscope. In order to exclude the failure, it is urgent to find out the influence of temperature on the failure of the O-shaped sealing ring. The usual method is to refer to GB / T 1690-2010 “Physical and Chemical Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber Oil Resistance Test Method” for simulation.
