Production Process Of FKM 75 Brown X-Ring for Piston Application

The production process of FKM 75 Brown X-Ring for Piston Application typically involves the following steps:

1. Material preparation: First, prepare the raw materials of FKM 75 (fluorine rubber). This includes rubber particles, additives and possible fillers. Ensure that raw materials meet specified formula proportions and quality requirements.

2. Mixing: Put the rubber particles and additives into the mixer for mixing and refining. In this process, the rubber particles and additives are fully mixed through heating and mechanical shearing, making the rubber particles soft and plastic.

3. Mold making: Put the mixed rubber material into the mold. The shape and size of the mold should match the desired X-ring design.

4. Heating and compression: Put the rubber material in the mold into the heating compressor. Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, the rubber material will be heated to soften and fill the cavity of the mold. The pressure helps ensure that the rubber material fully fills the mold and forms the desired X-ring shape.

5. Curing and cooling: After heating and compression, the rubber material needs to be cured and cooled. This can be done by holding it in a constant temperature environment for a period of time to ensure that the rubber material maintains its shape and elasticity during formation.

6. Post-processing and inspection: After solidification and cooling, the X-shaped sealing ring may need to undergo post-processing steps, such as removing possible remaining materials or corners.

The sealing rings are then quality inspected to ensure they meet specified dimensions, sealing performance and quality standards.

Finally, after the above steps, the production process of FKM 75 Brown X-Ring for Piston Application is completed.

Depending on specific production equipment and process requirements, there may be some additional steps or variations. Therefore, actual production processes may vary by manufacturer and production facility.
