The specific wear rate <strong>of</strong> EPDM 55Å (1), 70Å(2) and 80Å (3).The curves reveal that the specific wear rate issmallest forthe s<strong>of</strong>ter rubber, that is, EPDM 55Å.The specific gravity is also smaller in casee <strong>of</strong>EPDM 55Å, which depends on the hardness andhardness again dependson the carbon black (CB)content <strong>of</strong> the rubber. However, in i case <strong>of</strong> flowcharacteristics <strong>of</strong> EPDMit is revealed that EPDM70Å is better than others. The selection <strong>of</strong> materialdepends onthe actual requirements in specificapplication area.CONCLUSION1 2This experimental work is devotedd for flow as wellas wears characterization<strong>of</strong> EPDM rubber <strong>of</strong> differenthardness in different experimental conditions. Thee testconditions were very difficult to be harmonizedd butmuch care was taken toobtain results as accurate aspossible accepting the noise factorss included inn theexperimentations. The results obtained are tabulated,graphed andanalyzed accordingly in the previoussection. Future work is proposed with different otherlubricants as well as inclusion <strong>of</strong> complex operatingenvironment, like extreme temperature and pressureconditions etc. It is also proposed toconduct frettingwear test as well as measurement <strong>of</strong> abrasion lossusing pin-on-plate (POP)type <strong>of</strong> tribometer.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe present work has been carried out inn theframe work<strong>of</strong> Mechanical Engineering Department,Production Engineeringg Departmentt and Metallurgyand Material Science Engineering Department <strong>of</strong>the Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. The authoris extremelythankful tothe facultyand laboratorystaff members, the students who at any point <strong>of</strong> timewere involved in this work at any ways. The authoris also thankful to NEL(Rubber division), Kolkata,for their very kind support in providing the workspecimen for the tests, purely for academic interest.3Series1REFERENCE[1] Felhos D., Karger-KocsisKs J.: “Tribological Testing<strong>of</strong> Peroxidee Cured EPDM Rubbers With DifferentCarbon BlackContentsUnder Dry SlidingConditions Against Steel”, Tribology InternationalVol. 41, pp. 404-415, 2008.[2] Kalpakjian S., Schmid Steven R.: “ManufacturingProcesses for Engineering Materials” ”, 4 th.
