基于斯特封的往复密封摩擦磨损界面性能实验研究

Experimental Study of Friction and Wear Interface Performance of Reciprocating Seal Based on Sterling Seal

斯特封是常用的往复密封件,其中斯特封的PTFE圈性能及活塞杆表面材料在往复密封过程中起着重要作用。搭建往复密封实验台,取4组添加碳纤维PTFE的密封圈分别与镀Cr膜活塞杆和镀DLC膜活塞杆进行往复密封台架实验,实验后获取使用过的4组密封圈作为实验样本,并取1个全新未使用的添加碳纤维PTFE的密封圈作为参考样本。通过三维白光干涉表面形貌仪、场发射环境扫描电子显微镜和冷场发射高分辨扫描电子显微镜分别对实验样本的密封唇进行表面形貌、表面磨损和磨损表面元素进行测定。通过实验测定,得出镀膜材料脱落形成磨粒导致密封圈表面磨损。还对密封圈的加工方法和活塞杆镀膜材料的选择提出了建议。

Sterling is a commonly used reciprocating seal, in which the PTFE ring of the seal and the surface material of the piston rod play an important role in the reciprocating sealing process. In this paper, a reciprocating sealing test bench was built, four sets of carbon fiber PTFE sealing rings were used to perform reciprocating sealing bench experiments with Cr-coated piston rods and DLC-coated piston rods. After the experiment, the used four sets of seals were taken as experimental samples, and a new unused carbon fiber PTFE seal was taken as a reference sample. The surface topography, surface wear and wear surface elements of the test specimens were measured by three-dimensional white light interference surface topography, field emission environment scanning electron microscope and cold field emission high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Through experimental determination, it is found that the coating material is detached to form abrasive grains, which causes the surface of the sealing ring to wear. This paper also proposes optimization suggestions for the processing method of the sealing ring and the selection of the material of the piston rod coating.
