Technical Analysis of Rubber Dynamic Performance, Rubber Medium Resistance and Rubber Fatigue Test Molds
1. Core Technical Dimensions of Test Molds
1.1 Material Selection & Design
Mold Body: 4Cr13 martensitic stainless steel (HRC 50-55) is industry-standard, offering corrosion/wear resistance for long-term dimensional stability. Tungsten carbide inserts reduce wear rate by over 80% in high-dynamic-load cavity areas.
Sealing & Wear Parts: Fluororubber O-rings (-20℃~200℃, oil expansion <15%) and silicon nitride ceramic guide pillars ensure sealing reliability and motion accuracy under 10Hz high-frequency reciprocation.
1.2 Mold Structure & Process Innovation
1.2.1 Rubber Dynamic Performance Test Molds
Adopt eccentric wheel-connecting rod loading (5Hz~100Hz, ±1% load accuracy) and axisymmetric double-station design. Enables simultaneous testing of rubber sample stiffness/damping, boosting efficiency by 50%.
1.2.2 Rubber Medium Resistance Test Molds
Integrate medium circulation-temperature control system (±2℃ accuracy, 0.1MPa~2MPa pressure). Full-immersion sealed cavity ensures full contact between rubber sample and medium, ideal for coolant/fuel resistance testing.
1.2.3 Rubber Fatigue Test Molds
Equipped with servo-hydraulic loading units (0~50kN, customizable sine/square waves) and built-in strain monitoring. Supports full-life testing of rubber parts (low-cycle high-load to high-cycle low-load) and tracks fatigue mechanical response.
1.3 Process Adaptation & Technical Trends
Precision Machining: Five-axis CNC machining (Ra ≤ 0.4μm) ensures uniform rubber sample stress; vacuum heat treatment improves mold mechanical consistency by 30%.
Intelligence: IoT sensors (temperature/pressure/vibration) enable real-time mold monitoring and cloud-based rubber test data analysis, driving digitalization of rubber testing.
