TY - THES A1 - Jaunich, Matthias T1 - Tieftemperaturverhalten von Elastomeren im Dichtungseinsatz N2 - Elastomerdichtungen finden als Bauteil oder Maschinenelement vielseitige Verwendung. Jedoch war trotz ihrer zentralen Bedeutung die untere Temperaturgrenze, bis zu der solche Dichtungen eingesetzt werden können, bisher nicht tiefgehend verstanden. Dieser Umstand erschwert die entsprechende notwendige sicherheitsrelevante Beurteilung. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit ist deshalb das Ziel verfolgt worden, dass Materialverhalten repräsentativer Elastomerwerkstoffe in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur zu verstehen und daraus dann abzuleiten, bis zu welcher Temperatur eine daraus hergestellte Dichtung unter Berücksichtigung der jeweiligen Einsatzbedingungen ihre Funktion noch sicher erfüllen kann. Ausgehend von der in der Literatur beschriebenen Aussage, dass eine Dichtung auch unterhalb der „Glasübergangstemperatur“ funktionsfähig ist, wurde der Einfluss des Glas-Gummi-Übergangs auf das Dichtungsversagen untersucht. Zunächst wurden dazu die Glasübergangstemperaturen an einer Vielzahl von Elastomeren mit gebräuchlichen Verfahren bestimmt, um diese mit dem Verhalten der Dichtung vergleichen zu können. Weiterhin wurde im Rahmen der Arbeit eine neue Charakterisierungsmethode des Tieftemperaturverhaltens von Elastomeren entwickelt, die die bisher für Dichtungen eingesetzte Normprüfung des Druckverformungsrests nachstellt. Mit dieser Methode ist im Vergleich zur Normprüfung jedoch eine deutlich schnellere und automatisierbare Untersuchung des Materialverhaltens gegeben. Darüber hinaus ist durch eine modellgestützte Auswertung eine Extrapolation der Messdaten auf zusätzliche Temperaturen möglich, wodurch der experimentelle Aufwand weiter reduziert wird. Zur temperaturabhängigen Charakterisierung des Versagensvorgangs an realen Bauteilen wurde deren Dichtverhalten mittels eines dafür entwickelten Versuchsstandes untersucht. Die festgestellte Abhängigkeit der Versagenstemperatur vom Verpressgrad konnte unter Verwendung der Ergebnisse aller angewandten Charakterisierungsmethoden für die hier untersuchten statisch beanspruchten Dichtungen erklärt werden. Zudem lassen sich aus dem mit Hilfe des Zeit-Temperatur- Superpositionsprinzips gewonnenen Informationen zur Zeitabhängigkeit der Materialeigenschaften auch Aussagen zum Verhalten von dynamisch beanspruchten Dichtungen ableiten. Mit dem Ergebnis der Arbeit zum Verständnis des Verhaltens von Elastomerdichtungen bei tiefen Temperaturen wird die gezielte Beurteilung und Auswahl von sicherheitsrelevanten Dichtsystemen in Zukunft vereinfacht. N2 - Elastomeric seals are of high importance as machine parts and construction elements, but in spite of this the low temperature limit for the use of a seal was not fully understood. Hence, the required safety relevant evaluation of the lowest acceptable operating seal temperature is difficult. Therefore the presented work was aimed to understand the temperature dependent material behaviour of representative elastomers and to conclude from this knowledge the low temperature limit down to which such seals could safely fulfil the desired requirements. Starting with the published statement that a seal can safely work below its glass Transition temperature the influence of the glass-rubber-transition was investigated. At first the glass-rubber-transition temperatures of the selected elastomers were determined applying several techniques to allow a comparison with the behaviour of the seals during component tests. Furthermore a new method to characterise the low temperature behaviour of elastomers was developed that emulates the key features of the standardised compression set test used for seal materials. In comparison to the standardized test this new method allows a much faster measurement that can be automatically performed. Using a model based data analysis an extrapolation of the results to different temperatures can be performed and therefore the necessary measuring expenditure can be additionally reduced. For the temperature dependent characterisation of the failure process of real seals a measurement setup was designed and the materials behaviour was investigated. By use of the results of all applied characterisation techniques the observed dependence of the failure temperature on the degree of compression could be explained for the investigated seals under static load. Additionally information about the behaviour of such seals under dynamic load could be gained from the time dependent material behaviour by use of the time temperature superposition relationship. By application of the gained insight into the behaviour of elastomeric seals at low temperatures the evaluation and selection of safety relevant seal systems will be simplified in the future.

The save enclosure of the radioactive container inventory has to be guaranteed according to legislation and appropriate guidelines for long term storage periods as well as down to temperatures of -40 °C for transportation. Therefore the understanding of failure mechanisms that lead to leakage at low temperatures is necessary to ensure a proper material choice which is certainly also influenced by additional factors as e.g. the aging behavior.

T1 - (U)HMWPE as neutron radiation shielding materials: impact of gamma radiation on structure and properties N2 - Due to their extreme high hydrogen contents, high molecular weight (HMW-) and ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW-) polyethylene (PE) are a comprehensible choice as neutron radiation shielding material in casks for storage and transport of radioactive materials. But as a direct consequence of inserting radioactive material in such casks, gamma radiation occurs. Hence, the impact of gamma radiation on the molecular structure of polyethylene has to be taken into consideration. Consequently, PE has to withstand any type of gamma radiation induced degradation affecting safety relevant aspects in order to be applicable for long term neutron radiation shielding purposes during the whole storage period (in Germany, for instance, up to 40 years). The scope of our investigation comprises an estimation of the impact of gamma radiation and temperature on the molecular and supra molecular structure of the two types of PE used as neutron radiation shielding cask components. A further point which is worth exploring is to what extent these changes are detectable by conventional analysis methods. Therefore, thermoanalytical measurements were performed such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo mechanical analysis (TMA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally optical and weighing methods were applied. With those methods it is possible to detect structural changes in polyethylene induced by exposure to gamma radiation. The observed amounts of changes of the irradiated material are not safety relevant for the application of polyethylene as neutron radiation shielding material; moreover, some properties actually improve via irradiation.

The breakdown temperature of the sealing function of O-ring seals was measured in a component test setup depending on material and degree of compression. An in depth explanation of the observed component tests behaviour is currently in preparation. It requires the results of thermo-analytical methods and measurements as the compression set (not shown here). With that, a model was developed to describe the correlation between physical material parameters and observed component behaviour.
