Abstract

Micrographs are shown of some typical types of structural damage that can occur in a vulcanisate as a result of electrochemical degradation (ECD) in the material. The importance of the carbon black content the operating temperature the coolant composition a vulcanisates cure system and other compound ingredients on the size of the current that can flow through a vulcanisate and its impact on ECD were discussed as well as the effects of crosslink density on volume resistivity and current flow. Results from SEM X-ray analysis of ECD damaged material on the depletion of zinc and sulphur by ECD and the associated effects on current flow through a compound are also discussed.
