Abstract:
Silicone rubber used for sealing between the fairing and the outside surface of extendible nozzle exit cone for the missiles was failure. The cause of the failure was analyzed by mechanical property testing, macro and micro morphology of the fracture surface observing by SEM. The results showed that the failure occurred between the silicone rubber and stainless steel by improper bonding processing. By choosing the proper surface treatment agent and improving the stainless steel surface conditions, the bonding strength between the silicone rubber and stainless steel was increased.
