Resumo:
The interest of this work was based on the study of the influence of different aging conditions and medium in mechanical, thermal, structural and chemical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) used for the manufacture of line pipes for transporting oil and gas. Prototypes for type-V tensile testing according to ASTM D 638. For development this work, the samples were submitted to different types of aging in different medium, namely: i) UV irradiation with a radiant energy with 365 nm of wavelengths and exposure times of 8, 12 and 18 weeks; ii) For aging under temperature, the samples were immersed in three different types of lubricating oil, to 50, 70 and 90 celsius degree for periods of 2, 3, 4 and 6 months; iii) aging under pressure, where the samples were submitted to 7, 14 and 17 bar and immersed in ordinary water at 50 celsius degree for 1 and 2 weeks and pattern Oil BASIC B 440-70 celsius degree for 1, 2 and 5 weeks. The aged samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetric, thermal gravimetric analysis, tensile and creep tests, melt flow rate, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. The results of the characterization of the samples after aging were compared with the results obtained from virgin HDPE, whose properties were obtained using the same characterization methods. Besides, was evaluated, the viscoelastic behavior of the HDPE, by mathematical simulation of viscoelastic models, based on experimental results of creep tests before and after aging. The results showed that mechanical behavior of HDPE after aging was strongly influenced by different variables, such as temperature, pressure, medium and exposure time. Since the sum of each effect generated by each parameter contributes to the variation of the mechanical performance of the polymer. Whichever the external variable imposed on HDPE - temperature, time, pressure, or exposure medium - always leads to changes in mechanical properties. However, depending on which of the parameters mentioned above is predominant, the aging HDPE will be more or less relevant. Simulating the creep behavior, the four parameters model was the one who presented the best graphic and mathematical description approximation of the experimental behavior.
