1. Material selection: choose high strength and good abrasion resistance rubber material. Rubber materials with higher hardness and better toughness usually have better abrasion resistance.
2. Add filler: Adding filler in rubber can improve its wear resistance. Common fillers include silica, carbon black and fiber. Fillers can increase the hardness and strength of rubber, making it more resistant to wear and tear.
3. Rubber formula optimization: By reasonably adjusting the content and proportion of various components in the rubber formula, the wear resistance of rubber can be improved. For example, increasing the content of cross-linking agents can improve the hardness and strength of rubber.
4. Surface protection: coating a protective film on the surface of rubber products can effectively block the wear of external substances on rubber. Commonly used surface protection coatings include hardening coating and anti-corrosion rubber.
5. Reduce friction: When using rubber products, you can reduce the wear by reducing the friction. For example, adding lubricant to the friction surface or using lubrication system can effectively reduce the wear of rubber.
6. Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance and care of rubber products, such as cleaning, lubrication and inspection, can extend the service life of rubber and improve its wear resistance.
7. Surface treatment: Through surface treatment technology, such as spraying or dipping, the surface hardness and wear resistance of rubber products can be increased. Common surface treatment methods include gas plasma treatment, chemical treatment and heat treatment, etc.
8. Vulcanization modification: By adjusting the vulcanization process and the choice of vulcanizing agent, the vulcanization structure of rubber can be changed, thus improving its wear resistance. For example, by using suitable vulcanizing agents and controlling factors such as vulcanization time and temperature, a good vulcanization network structure can be obtained, increasing the strength and wear resistance of the rubber.
9. Surface hardening: the use of physical or chemical methods to harden the surface of rubber, forming a hard surface layer to improve wear resistance. Commonly used surface hardening methods include hard coating, heat treatment and ion injection, etc.
10. Technology optimization: In the design and production process of rubber products, optimizing the process and structure design can improve the wear resistance of rubber. For example, the use of suitable molds and molding processes can reduce the surface defects and internal stresses of rubber products and improve their wear resistance.
11. Enhance lubrication: Adding suitable lubricants, such as permanent lubricants or solid lubricants, to rubber products can reduce friction and wear, and improve wear resistance.
12. Monitoring and evaluation: Establish an effective monitoring and evaluation system to track the usage and performance changes of rubber products, and take maintenance and improvement measures in time to ensure that the wear resistance of rubber is always in the best condition.
Comprehensive application of the above methods and measures can significantly improve the wear resistance of rubber and extend its service life. However, the specific choice of methods or measures needs to be weighed and decided according to the specific application environment, material type and expected goals.
