The paper provides the results of the studies on the influence of high temperatures and aggressive media on the performance properties of O-rings having one name but made by different manufacturers. O-rings by supplier No. 1 are made from fluorosilicone rubber, and O-rings by supplier No. 2 are made from fluororubber. The analysis of O-rings showed that the color of O-rings made from fluorosilicone rubber changed and their physical mechanical properties decreased after operation when subjected to G-energy Si-OAT and G-energy SNF coolants. The comparative analysis of TGA curves of O-rings showed that O-rings made from fluororubber were more heat stable than O-rings made from fluorosilicone rubber, i.e. they can withstand higher operating temperatures in an air atmosphere. Fluoroelastomers can recover quickly and are used to manufacture products which should have a high heat resistance during operation and high resistance to aggressive coolants.

Studying the behavior of surfaces at high temperatures is of great importance for understanding the properties of ceramics and associated surface-gas reactions. Atomic processes occurring on bulk crystal surfaces at high temperatures can be recorded by reflection electron microscopy (REM) in a conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) with relatively high resolution, because REM is especially sensitive to atomic-height steps.Improved REM image resolution with a FEG: Cleaved surfaces of a-alumina (012) exhibit atomic flatness with steps of height about 5 Å, determined by reference to a screw (or near screw) dislocation with a presumed Burgers vector of b = (1/3)<012> (see Fig. 1). Steps of heights less than about 0.8 Å can be clearly resolved only with a field emission gun (FEG) (Fig. 2). The small steps are formed by the surface oscillating between the closely packed O and Al stacking layers. The bands of dark contrast (Fig. 2b) are the result of beam radiation damage to surface areas initially terminated with O ions.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
