Operation of mechanisms and equipment under significant temperature changes can cause brittle destruction not only of metal structures. In the process of research of high pressure hose of camber mechanism there was revealed violation of the tightness of the outer rubber layer, which led to further penetration of acid-alkaline environment (moist sea air) into the formed voids in winding layers. In the damaged segments the torn filament ends of metal coiling of flexible hydraulic connection seem typical of brittle damage. Further study of macro-and microstructure of the material of metal filaments of the wire and detailed analysis of the near-surface layer revealed violation of the technology of protective coating of the filaments. The low quality of brass coating of the metal coiling of DN20 wire of the hydraulic connection resulted in the rapid corrosion attack. The presence of structural defects in the near-surface layer led to the formation of discontinuities of brass coating, to a decrease of adhesion characteristics of the metal coiling. Iron oxide being a product of corrosion of metal filament coiling in the formed voids between the layers slashed under bending effected by friction contact and alternating loads. The research results can be used for developing effective anti-corrosion methods for flexible hydraulic connections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
