Development of a Mathematical Model of the Distribution of the Temperature Field in the Material of the Protective Coating of Pipe Metal Based on Low Molecular Weight Oligodiene During its Heat Treatment

Abstract

Statement of the problem. The process of vulcanization of the material of the protective coating of pipe metal based on low molecular weight oligodiene is possible only when creating and maintaining the specified temperature conditions in terms of the volume of vulcanizate. To study the regularities of the distribution of temperature fields in the vulcanized coating and to ensure the necessary temperature conditions of heat treatment, taking into account the influence of external influences, it became necessary to develop a mathematical model of the distribution of the temperature field in the protective coating material during its heat treatment using induction heating. Results. A mathematical model of the distribution of the temperature field in the vulcanized coating of pipe metal based on low molecular weight oligodiene has been developed. Conclusions. The conducted computational experiment using a mathematical model of the distribution of the temperature field made it possible to determine compliance with the temperature regime of vulcanization of the protective coating material over the entire volume of vulcanizate under certain boundary conditions.
