What is the role of irradiated cable
Irradiated cable is a special cable irradiated by an electron beam in the manufacturing process. Irradiated cable in the manufacturing process will undergo electron beam irradiation treatment, so that the molecular chain of the polymer material inside the cable is damaged and crosslinked, thus improving the cable's physical properties, heat resistance, radiation resistance, chemical resistance, aging resistance and other characteristics.
Specifically, irradiated cables mainly play the following roles:
Improve the physical properties of the cable: through radiation treatment, the cable's tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness and other physical properties can be improved.
Improve the heat resistance of the cable: the radiation treatment can make the polymer material inside the cable to produce cross-linking, thus enhancing the heat resistance of the cable.
Improve the radiation resistance of the cable: radiation treatment can make the polymer material inside the cable to produce cross-linking, thus improving the radiation resistance of the cable.
Improve the chemical resistance of the cable: radiation treatment can make the polymer material inside the cable to produce cross-linking, thus enhancing the chemical resistance of the cable.
Improve the cable's aging resistance: radiation treatment can make the polymer materials inside the cable cross-linked, thus enhancing the cable's aging resistance.
In general, irradiation cable has many advantages, but there are some limitations, such as radiation treatment cost is high, process requirements, etc.. Therefore, in practical applications need to be selected according to the specific circumstances.
What are the differences between irradiated cables and ordinary cables
The main differences between irradiated cables and ordinary cables are as follows:
Differences in manufacturing processes: irradiated cables need to be processed through the electron beam radiation in the production process, while ordinary cables do not need.
Different physical properties: irradiated cables, due to radiation treatment, so that the molecular chain of polymer materials inside the cable crosslinking occurs, thus improving the tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness and other physical properties of the cable.
Heat resistance is different: due to the irradiation of the cable internal polymer material molecular chain crosslinking, which makes the irradiated cable has better heat resistance.
Radiation resistance is different: irradiated cable due to the internal molecular chain crosslinking, which makes the cable has better radiation resistance.
Different chemical corrosion resistance: irradiated cable internal polymer material molecular chain crosslinking, which makes the cable has better chemical corrosion resistance.
Different prices: due to the irradiated cable manufacturing process and material costs are higher, so its price is relatively high.
Overall, the irradiated cable has obvious advantages in physical properties, heat resistance, radiation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, etc., but its manufacturing cost is higher, so it needs to be selected according to the specific circumstances in the actual application.
Irradiated cables are used in what place
Irradiated cables are widely used in the following fields because of their excellent physical properties, heat resistance, radiation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other characteristics:
Nuclear industry: irradiated cables are widely used in the nuclear industry, such as nuclear reactors, gas pedals, and other nuclear facilities control systems, signaling systems, etc.
Aerospace: Because irradiated cables have better mechanical properties and radiation resistance, they are also widely used in aerospace.
Medical equipment: irradiated cables are also used in medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, CT machines and so on.
Electric power systems: irradiated cables are widely used in electric power systems, such as power substations, transmission and transformation lines.
Other fields: irradiated cables can also be used in a variety of high-temperature, high-pressure, high-speed movement of equipment and machinery, such as high-speed trains, high-speed elevators and so on.
