OBJECTIVE:
The object of this work was to develop a rubber pad for tracked vehicles that would provide reliable service for 500C miles of vehicle operation.
BACKGROUND:
For the past 13 years, the Research Directorate at Rock Island Arser.al has been involved in funded programs to improve the wear resis- tance of rubber tank track pads. The studies began in FY63 and have been continuous since that time. Particular emphasis was placed on Che Im- provement of the wear resistance of rubber pads for the T142 and T130 tracks since unit procurement for these tracks is, by far, the largest for track currently in use. The T142 track is used on the M48-and M60- series tanks, and the T130 track is used on the M113 personnel carrier. The operating life and reliability of the T142 track, developed to re- place the T97E2 track, is limited to approximately 2000 miles because of the limitations of the rubber components. While the metal track remains operational for 5000 miles or more, the average life of the rubber pads is seldom more than 2000 miles. A rubber track pad that would match the operational life of the metallic track is highly desirable and would result in increased reliability and reduced maintenance, and in a tremendous cost savings in the purchase of replacement pads. Commercially available track pads fabricated from SBR fall far short of the objective, past efforts of this laboratory1"1'' have been directed toward (1) the development of pads

that would match the operational life of the metal track and (2) the Development of a laboratory test or tests that could be used in the prediction of the wear resistance of experimental track pad compounds without resorting to costly and time consuming service tests. Significant progress has been made in both areas. Experimental track pads based on stereospecific SBR (Stereon 750), SBR/polybutadiene blends (Fhilprene 1609/Cis-4 1350 (or Cis-4 1351), Ameripoi 1834/Ameripol CB 1352) and alfin catalyzed copolymers of butadiene/styrene and butadiene/lsoprene (HYTRANS) have exhibited a 50 percent or greater improvement in tread wear during service tests when compared to commercial SBR pads. The service testing of commercially prepared pilot lots of pads based on stereospecific SBR and SBR/polybutadiene blends has confirmed this improvement in tread wear. The uncertainty regarding the future commercial availibility of the alfin catalyzed copolymers of butadiene/isoprene and butadiene/styrene has pre- cluded the preparation of pilot lots of pads based on these elastomers. Correlation was found between service test wear ratings and laboratory test data obtained for tear strength, resistance to crack growth, and abrasion resistance. This report covers work done on the improvement of the wear resistance of rubber track pads since issuance of the previous report^-" plus a summary of all work done on this problem since the initial investi- gation began in FY63.
APPROACH:
Rubber compounds designed for initial laboratory evaluation were mixed on a 12-inch rubber mill. Tensile strength, elongation, and modulus were detLnnined at ambient and elevated temperatures by use of a Scott Model L-6 rubber tensile tester equipped with a Scott Model HTO hot tensile oven and autographic recorder-controller. Each dumbbell specimen was placed in the grips of the tester and conditioned for six minutes at the elevated temperature before being tested. All other physical properties were de- tern.ined by ASTM procedures where applicable. Physical properties of ex- peri tental compounds were compared with those of the Research Directorate SBR control compound which has given wear ratings similar to those of com- mercialSBR compounds in numerous service tests.
A Number 1 Banbury mixer was used to mix all compounds selected for the preparation of experimental track pads. The Banbury mixed compound was transferred to a 30-inch mill for additional mixing and sheeting-out. The cool ;d stock was later transferred to an lij-lnch mill for warmup and for sheeulng-out to the desired thickness for preparation of track pad preforms frori^ rolled stock.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Brass-plated wire cloth (National-Standard Company, 16x14 mesh, .013 Hl-Carbon C-1055 brass-plated warp wire x .020 Low Carbon C-1008 steel wire with no coating fill wire), when laminated with rubber in alternate horizontal layers (seven layers of rubber and six layers of wire cloth) was previously four.dlO t0 provide outstanding improvement in resistance to heat buildup of experimental track pad compounds in laboratory tests with the Firestone Flexometer. Experimental track pads containing the wire cloth reinforcement, however, displayed poor wear resistance in service tests. Examination of the wire reinforced pads upon completion of test revealed that the wire cloth actually had an adverse affect on wear resistance. Delamination of the pads in the area of the wire cloth resulted in excessive chunking and tearing and premature loss of rubber, as shown in Figure 1. Tests were run usinj; the Firestone Flexometer to determine if lesser amounts (three layers) of wire cloth positioned horizontally at different points within the specimen or the same amount (six layers) of wire cloth positioned vertically within ihe specimen would display the outstanding resistance to heat buildup ex- hibited by specimens containing six layers of wire cloth positioned evenly throughout. Firestone Flexometer specimens were prepared, as shown in Figure 2, ty lamination of the wire cloth with the uncured rubber and then compression molding the specimens in the usual manner. Each piece of wire cloth measured 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inches and weighed approximately one gram. When six pieces of wire cloth were used In the preparation jf the specimens, the total win: cloth content amounted to approximately 20 parts/100 rhc, by weight, of rub >er. The reslstance-to-heat buildup was determined by use of the Firestone

Flexometer. The tine required for the temperature to rise from 100 F to 200°? was measured when the specimens were subjected to test conditions of 0.25-inch throw and 600-pound loading. Test results are given in Table 2 in which the Research Directorate SBR 1500 control compound (S152- 1) was used as the base. The use of only three layers of wire cloth position- ed horizontally in various areas within the specimens was not as effective as six layers in the improvement of the resistance-to-heat buildup. Al- though the specimens containing three layers of wire cloth exhibited no tearing or delamination in this test, the time for the temperature to rise from I00oF to 200oF was much shorter for these specimens than for the speci- mens containing six layers of wire cloth positioned horizontally (23 or 28 minutes vs. 104 minutes). If the specimens containing the three layers of wire cloth had been flexed as long as 104 minutes, the dynamic action of the wire cloth on the rubber may have induced some tearing of the rubber, re- gardless of deterioration due to heat buildup. The specimens containing six layers of wire cloth positioned vertically had much poorer resistance-to- heat buildup than the control specimens and exhibited significant tearing of the rubber around the wire cloth. Even though resistance-to-heat buildup may be improved in some cases, the use of wire cloth in track pads is not feasible because of the chunking and delamination problem associated with its use under dynamic conditions. The problem may be similar to that observed in steel-oelted radial tires operated at high speeds. In the 7 April 1975 issue of Rubber & Plastics News, the Department of Transportation gave warn- ing that steel-belted radials may disintegrate at high speeds due to tread and belt separation. Similarly, on 14 March 1975, the U.S. Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA)of the Department of Justice issued a warn- ing that steel-belted radial tires can break down and disintegrate at high spei ds.
Numerous potential chemical heat stabilizers were evaluated in the Research Directorate SBR 1500 control compound (S152-1) and in proven wear- resistant experimental track pad compounds based on Stereon 750 (stereo- specific SBR) (S227-2), Philprene 1609/Ci8-4 1350 (SBR/polybutadiene blend) (S212-2), and HYTRANS 1227-2S9-1 (alfin catalyzed copolymer of butadiene/ styrene) (S223-4) to determine their effect on the resistance to heat build- up. The evaluation of these heat stabilizers also Included the determination of tneir effect on (1) stress-strain properties at ambient temperature, 300oF and after aging 70 hours at 2120F, and (2) tear.

/ excellent heat resistance to silicone vulcanizates. The result« of this evaluation are given in Table 7 in comparison with the Research Directorate coni-rol compound (S152-1), and show the following:
1. The Hi Sil 233/Neo Novacite/Statex 160 reinforced vulcanizates containing the Alü9 silane coupling agent (S152-170 and S152-171) exhibited significantly improved resistance-to-heat buildup over that of the S152-1 control compound, but had poorer tear resis nee at ambient temperature and at 250oF.
2. The Hi Sil 233/Statex 160 reinforced vulcanizates, with or without the A1Ö9 silane coupling agent (S152-166, S152-167 and S132-168), had somewhat better tear resistance at ambient temp- erature than the S152-1 control compound, but had poorer or equivalent resistance to heat buildup.
3. The effectiveness of the Alo9 silane coupling agent is evident in all cases in which it was used, as shown by an increase in ambient tensile strength and moduli, and a decrease in ultimate elongation as the quantity of A189 was increased from zero to 1.0 part/100 rhc.
4. The physical properties of the Hi Sil 233/Statex 160 reinforced vulcanizates (with or without A169) and the Hi Sil 233/Neo Novacite/ Statex 160 reinforced vulcanizates (with or without A189) measured at ambient temperature and at 300oF, and after 70 hours of aging at 2120F are in general poorer than those of the S152-1 control compound. The properties of S152-16Ö come close to equaling those of the control.
Because of the oil shortage, the availability of synthetic rubbers (especially those based on styrene, butadiene, and chloroprene) began to de- crease significantly during the winter months of 1973-1974. The December 1973 issie of Rubber Age carried the statement that the ready availability of natural rubber (pale crepe and smoked sheet) might tend to diminish the proi iem of synthetic rubber shortages. For this reason, Rodman Laboratory begf i to evaluate the properties of vulcanizates prepared from blends of natural ruui er with elastomers that had provided pads with significant resistance to tread wear in various service tests. SCereon 750, alfin catalyzed copolymers of uutadiene/styrene and butadiene/isoprene (HYTRANS rubbers), and an SBR/ Cis-4 polybutadiene blend were included. The effect of blending natural ruober with SBR 1500 in the Research Directorate control formulation (S152-1) was also studied. The results are given in Tables Ö-12 and exhibit the follow- ing findings:
1. SBR 1500/Pale Crr^ Blends
a. The resistance to tear at both ambient and elevated temperatures, and the resistance to abrasion and crack growth improved dramatically when the ratio of SBR 1500/pale crepe changed from 60/40 to 40/60.

■ .
o. Stress-strain properties measured at ambient temperature were not affected as increasing amounts of pale crepe were blended with the SBR 1500. However, the retention of properties measured at 300 F and 400oF improved significantly (on the basis of tensile and elongation retention at 300oF, and retention of elongation at 400oF) as the ratio of SBR 1500/pale crepe changed from 60/40 to 40/60.
c. The flexibility, as measured by ASTM D1043, was better at lower temperatures for the SBR 1500/pale crepe blended vulcanizates than for the vulcanizate prepared from SBR 1500 alone.
2. Stereon 750/Pale Crepe Blends
a. Resistance to tear at both ambient and elevated temperatures improved linearly as increasing amounts of pale crepe were used in Stereon 750/pale crepe blends.
b. Abrasion resistance was adversely affected, but resistance to crack growth was significantly improved when the ratio of Stereon 750/pale crepe changed from 82.5/40 to 55/60.
c. A significant increase occurred in moduli measured at ambient and elevateJ temperatures as the amount of pale crepe in the Stereon 750/pale crepe blends increased.
d. The low temperature stiffness was poorer for the blended vul- canizates than for vulcanizates prepared from Steron 750 only.
3. HYTRANS (Butadiene/Styrene type)/Pale Crepe Blends
a. Resistance to tear at ambient temperature improved significantly as the HYTRANS/pale crepe ratio changed from 82.5/40 to 55/60. Except for the 27.5/80 HYTRANS/pale crepe blend, resistance to tear at elevated temperatures for the other blends was not significantly different from that of the vulcanizate prepared from HYTRANS only.
b. Resistance to abrasion was significantly better for the blended vulcanizates than for the vulcanizate prepared from HYTRANS only, but no improvement in resistance to crack growth was noted until the pale crepe portion of the blend was increased from 60 to 80 parts.
c. The moduli measured at ambient and elevated temperatures were significantly higher for the blended vulcanizates than for those of the vulcanizate prepared front HYTRANS only.
d. Resistance to low temperature stiffness was somewhat better for the blended vulcanizates than for the vulcanizate prepared from HYTRANS alone when T200 values were measured by ASTM D1043.

mp
4. HYTRANS (Butadiene/Iaoprene Type)/Pale Crepe Blends
a. Resistance to tear at ambient and elevated tempert*cures improved linearly as increasing amounts of pale crepe were used in the HYTRANS/ pale crepe blends.
b. Resistance to abrasion and crack growth, and resistance to stiff- ness at low temperature were adversely affected when pale crepe was blended with HYTRANS.
c. Moduli, especially those measured at ambient temperature and at 300oF, increased significantly as increasing amounts of pale crepe were used in the HYTRANS/pale crepe blends.
5. Philprene 1609/Cis->4 1350/Pale Crepe Blends
(As noted in Table 12, supplemental amounts of carbon black, Statex 100, were added to the pale crepe blended vulcanizates as the amount of the master batch carbon black contained in the Philprene 1609 and Cis-4 1350 decreased.)
a. Tear resistance at ambient temperature and resistance to crack growth improved dramatically when the ratio of Philprene 1609/Cis- 4 1350/pale crepe changed from 60.9/3Ö.7/40 to 40.6/25.8/60. Tear resistance measured at elevated temperatures increased linearly as the amount of pale crepe in the blends increased.
b. The abrasion resistance was somewhat better for the pale crepe blended vulcanizates than for the vulcanizate prepared from a blend o only Philprene 1609 and Ci8-4 1350.
c. Resistance to low temperature stiffness was not significantly afected by the addition of pale crepe. When pale crepe was blended w.th SBR 1500, Stereon 750, HYTRANS (Butadiene/Styrene Type), and HYTRANS (Buradiene/Isoprene Type), the ozone resistance was adversely affected, as is shown in Tables 8,9,10, and 11. This can be remedied b ■ use of increased amounts of antiozonant.
Because of the success achieved in the improvement of certain properties of ;BR 15)0, Stereon 750, HYTRANS or SBR/polybutadiene when tl ise elastomers were blended with natural rubber (pale crepe), a study was made to determine the effect of the blending of these same elastomers with a synthetic natural rubber, Aaerlpol SN 600. Since the most dramatic Improvement In most prop- erties occurred in elastomer ratios containing 60 parts of pale crepe, these same blenJ ratios were chosen for evaluation with the Amerlpol SN 600. The results given in Table 13 show that In general the effect on physical properties of ihe blinding of Aaerlpol SN 600 with the various elastomers was the same

as tae eilect of the pale crepe \;hen blended with the same elastomers (Tables Ö-12). Thus, either natural rubber (pale crepe) or synthetic natural rubber (Ameripol SN 600) could be used interchangeably to significantly improve resistance to tear or abrasion.
Because EPDM vulcanizates are inherently ozone resistant and have excellent age resistance, even at temperatures as high as 250oF, these vulcanizates were considered as choices for use in track pads. However, the EPDM vulcanizates were only as abrasion resistant as the SBR vulcani- zates, and experimental track pads prepared from EPDM exhibited no improve- menC in wear resistance over SBR in service tests. Numerous means of improving the abrasion resistance of a fast-curing EPDM (EP syn 55) were evaluated without success during FY 1973.10 Because of the significant improvement in abrasion resistance imparted to SBR 1500, HYTRANS (butadiene/ styrene type), and SBR/polybutadiene when blended with pale crepe, blends r'f i:PDM/pale crepe were evaluated. These results are given in Table 14 and show that a 40/60 EP syn 55/pale crepe blend (E59-14) has significantly imp oved abrasion resistance when compared to the EP syn 55 control com- pouid (E59). The addition of pale crepe to EP syn 55 also improved resistance to crack growth (DeMattia tester) and low temperature flexibility (ASTM D1043). Tear resistance, especially at ambient temperature, was not improved. The addition of Dyphos and Rio Resin to the 40/60 EP syn 55/;>ale crepe blended vulcanizate did not improve tear resistance. The use of these additives, known to improve the tear resistance of SBR 1500 and öBR/polybutadiene vulcanizates, also had an adverse affect on abrasion resistance. Because of the significant improvement in resistance to ab- rasion and crack growth afforded EPDM when blended with pale crepe, further attempts to improve the tear resistance of this blend would be worthwhile.
In an article1--' appearing in the May 1973 issue of Rubber Age, the intro- duci ion to the rubber market of a new high Mooney flame retardant SBR was desi ribed by the B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company. The results of the eva uatiou of this new elastomer, Ameripol 4713, are given in Table 15 in comiarison with the Research Directorate control compound (S152-1), The vulcanizate prepared from Ameripol 4713 (S252) exhibited significantly improved resistance to both abrasion and tear at elevated temperatures when compared v;ith compound S152-1, but exhibited poorer resistance to crack gro 'th. Because of the poor resistance to crack growth, the conclusion was

that this compound would be unsuitable for rubber track pads. This Laboratory has since learned that Goodrich has withdrawn this elastomer fror.i the narket.
At the request of the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Couunand (TACCM), Warren, Michigan, work was done on blends of Stereon 750 and HYTRANS (both SBR and butadiene/isoprene types) with a fast-curing EPDM (EP syn 55) and DromLaated butyl (Polysar Bromobutyl X2). The effect on the blends of an SAP v's. an FEF black, and blends of the two blacks was also studied. Theso results are given in Tables 16-lfci. Since the Stereon 750 and HYTRANS elastomers contain 37.5 parts oil, appropriate amounts of the same type of oil vere added to the blends so that the parts oil/100 rhc in all compounds would remain the same. Generally, from the results^the conclusion follows that neitner the use of blends nor the use of FEF black or FEF/SAF black in place of all SAP black provided significant improvement to the originally developed base compounds (S227-2, S223-4 and B33-4) in the combination of properties essential to provide improved wear-resistant compounds, namely, resistance to abrasion, tear, and crack growth. In no case were all three esse itial properties improved. Resistance to crack growth was generally bettir for those compounds in which FEF black only was used, but the tear and abrasion resistance of these compounds was much poorer than the origin- ally developed base compound prepared from Stereon 750 or HYTRANS only, and in w.ilch only SAP black was used. Resistance to tear at ambient and el- evated temperatures, and abrasion resistance of all the experimental com- pounds was equivalent or. In most cases, much poorer than that found for the jase compounds. Original tensile strengths were also poorer for all the experimental compounds than for the base compounds. None of the experimental compounds were considered suitable choices for track pad evaluation.
During FY1975, a new class of reinforcing fibers was Introduced to the market by Monsanto Industrial Chemicals Company.^-4 These reinforcing agents are unregenerated cellulose fibers coated wich a proprietary polymeric agent for setter bonding of the fiber to the rubber and have the trade name "Santoweb", Thre • grades of the Santoweb fibers are marketed. Th'.y are Santoweb D for high y unsaturated polymers such as SBR, natural ruböer, polylsoprene, poly- butadiene and aeoprene; Santoweb H for EPDM, butyl, and other low unsaturated poly iers; and Santoweb K for such highly polar polymers as nltrlles and uret laaes. Santoweb D was evaluated at 5 and 15 parts/100 rhc In compounds oase 1 on IBR 1500 (Research Directorate control compound) (S152-1), an SBR 1500'pale crepe blend (A50-3), Stereon 750 (S227-2), Phllprene 1609/Cls-4 1351 (S212-2), HYTRANS (SBR type) (S223-4), fnd HYTRANS (butadlene/lsoprene type) (B33-4). Resimene 3520, a modifier recommended by Monsanto for use In conjanctlon with the Santoweb fibers to enhance rubber-to-fiber bonding, was used at a concentration of 1 part/100 rhc. The results, given in Tables 19- 24, show the following:

1. SBR 1500 (Research Directorate GoaLroL Compound)
a. The addition of Santoweb D had an adverse etiect on abrasion resistance, resistance to crack growth, ozone resistance, and ambient tensile strength.
b. Tear resistance at ambient temperature was significantly im- proved by the addition of Santoweb D, but t?ar resistance at 250oF was not significantly affected.
2. SBR 150Q/Pale Crepe Blend
a. Resistance to abrasion, crack growth, and ozone were adversely affected by the addition of Santoweb D. Ambient tensile strength was adversely affected only when 15 parts/100 rhc Santoweb D were employed.
b. Tear resistance at ambient temperature was significantly im- proved by the addition of Santoweb D, but resistance to tear at 250oF was not significantly affected.
3. Stereon 750
a. The addition of Santoweb D had an adverse effect on resistance to crack growth and ozone. Ambient tensile strength was adversely affected only when Santoweb D was used at the 15-part level.
b. Resistance to tear at ambient was significantly improved by the addition of Santoweb D, but tear resistance at 250oF was not sig- nificantly affected.
c. Abrasion resistance was significantly improved by the additon of Santoweb D, particularly at the 5-part level.
4. Philprene 1609/Ci8-4 1351 Blend
a. Resistance to abrasion and crack growth and tensile strength at ambient were adversely affected by the addition of Santoweb D.
b. Tear resistance at both ambient and elevated temperatures was significantly improved by the addition of Santoweb D.
5. HYTRANS (SBR type)
a. The addition of Santoweb D had an adverse effect on abrasion resistance, ambient tensile strength, and ozone resistance. Resistance to crpek growth was adversely affected only when Santo- web D was used at the 15-part level.
b. Tear resistance at ambient was slightly improved by the addition
of Santoweo D, but tear resistance at 250 F was adversely affected.
6. HYTRANS (Butadieae/Isoprene Type)
a. Resistance to abrasion, crack growth and ozone, as well as tensile strength at ambient, were adversely affected by the addition of Santoweo D.
b. Tear resistance at ambient was somewhat improved by the addition of Santoweb D, but tear resistance at 250oF was slightly poorer for the compounds containing üantoweb D.
Because of the adverse effect of Santoweu D on the resistance to ab- rasion and/or crack growth, nona of the compounds in which Santoweb D was used (Tables 19-24) are considered suitaole choices for track pad service testing.
Arrangements were made through TACOM to test Research Directorate ex- periüen.tal T142 track pads in a service f-es: performed at Yuma Proving Ground, Yuma, Arizona, during June through September 1975. Experimental pads selected and prepared for this test were based on the following compounds:
1. Research Directorate SBR 1500 control compound (S152-1). 2. SBR 1500/Pale Crepe Blend (A50-3). 3. Stereon 750 (S227-2). 4. Stereon 750/Pale Crepe Blend (A51). 5. HYTRANS 1697-259-1 (SBR Type) (S223-4). 6. HYTRANS 1697-259-1/Pale Crepe Blend (A52). 7. Philprene l609/Cis-4 1351 Blend (S212-2). 8. Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1351/Pale Crepe Blend (A54). 9. Stereon 750 (Reinforced with carbon and mineral fillers and
containing a silane coupling agent) (S227-21). 10. SBR 1500 (Contains Dyphos for improving retention of tear
strength at 250°?) (S152-160). 11. Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1351 Blend (Contains Dyphos for improving
retention of tear strength at 250^ (S212-7).
Physical properties determined on the Banbury mixed batches of these compounds are given in Table 25.
In addition to the T142 pads prepared fro/n the compounds listed above, expei imental pads .»aving a more rounded contour than the conventional T142 pad (Figure 3) were also prepared for service testing. In previous service tests, the initiation oi cracking and chipping was attributed to the sharp edges of the conveitional T142 pads, and the theory was that "rounding off" these edges might reduce the shearing action on the edges and, thereby, result in pads having improved wear resistance. Pads having the rounded contour were

prepared iron SBR 1500 (Research Directorate Control Compound) (3152-1) and atereon 750 (S227-2) by grinding off the corners of conventional T142 pads using a rubber grinding wheel. The rounded pads were then coated with one coat of a conventional tire dressing to duplicate the mold skin of the conventional pads.
Results of the service test at Yuma are given in Table 26. Tests were conducted for 500 miles on paved track using an M60A1 vehicle having a total weight of 107,000 pounds. These results show the following:
1. With the exception of Compound S227-21, experimental pads based on Stereon 750, HYTRANS (SBR Type), and Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1351 exhibited significantly improved wear resistance when compared with the commercial controls.
2. The addition of pale crepe to Stereon 750 and Philprene 1609/ Cis-4 1351 significantly improved the wear resistance of pads oased on these elastomers. The addition of pale crepe did not significantly affect the wear resistance of pads based on SBR 1500 or HYTRANS (SBR Type); however, significant improvement may have become evident if the pads had been run on gravel and cross-country courses.
3. The rounded contour pads based on SBR 1500 and Stereon 750 did not exhibit significantly improved wear resistance over that of the conventionally styled pad.
4. The addition of Dyphos did not improve the wear resistance of pads based on SBR 1500 or Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1351, and pads based on carbon black-mineral filled Stereon 750 exhibited very poor wear resistance.
All research efforts on the development of rubber compounds for use in tank track pads have been concluded by the Research Directorate tt this Arseial. A summary of all work accomplished by this Laboratory en the problem over the past thirteen years is given in the appendix.
CONCLUSIONS:
Although resistance to neat buildup through the use of wire cloth may be improved in some cases, the use of wire cloth in track pads is not feasible oecause of the chunking and delamination tnat occur under dynamic conditions.
Certain heat stabilizers provided a significant reduction in heat build- up to various vulcanlzates whi.e others provided a significant Improvement in tear resistance at 250oF. Oythal (dibasic lead phthalate) and cadmium oxide provided a significant reduction in heat buildup to SBR 1500, Stereon

750, HYTRANS (SBR Type), and a Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1350 blend. Dyphos (dibasic lead phosphite) and Alü9 (a silane coupling agent) provided a sig- nificant improvement in tear resistance at 250oF to SBR 1500 and a Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1350 blend. None of the heat stabilizers significantly improved the retention of physical properties measured at 300oF or after aginy 70 hours at 2120F.
Blending of pale crepe with SBR 1500, Stereon 750, HYTRANS or SBR/poly- butadiene improved the resistance to abrasion, tear, and crack growth in most cases. Significant improvement was generally noted when the pale crepe portion of the blend was 60 parts The effect on various physical properties whe i a synthetic natural rubber (Ameripol SN600) was blended with SBR 1500, Stereon 750, HYTRANS or SBR/polybutadiene was the same as that found when natural rubber (pale crepe) was blended with the same elastomers. Therefore, either natural rubber (pale crepe) or synthetic natural rubber (Ameripol SN 600) can be used interchangeably in those formulations to improve tear, ab- rasion or crack growth.
In an attempt to improve the abrasion resistance of a fast curing EPDM, various EPDM/pale crepe blends were evalunted. A 40/60 EPDii/pale crepe blend was found to have significantly Improved resistance to abrasion and crack growth when compared to a vulcanizate prepared from EPDM only; but the tear resistance of the blend was adversely affected.
The effect curing EPDM and vs. an FEF black was also studied use of FEF black provide any sign and HYTRANS base growth was conce
of blending Stereon 750 or HYTRANS elastomers with a fast- brominated butyl*was investigated. The effect of an SAF
and blends of the two blacks or the blendci vulcanizates Neither Che use of various elastomeric blends nor the
or FEF/SAF black in place of all SAF black was found to ificant improvement in the originally developed Stereon 750 compounds as far as resistance to abrasion, tear, and crack
rned.
Santoweb D fibers, unregenerated cellulose fibers coated with a pro- prietary polymeric agent for better bonding of the fibers to rubber, were evaluated in SBR 1500, SBR 1500/Pale Crepe, Stereon 750, HYTRANS and SBR/ polybutadiene vulcanizates. The Santoweb D fibers had an adverse effect on the resistance to crack growth of all the vulcanizates.
Several experimental compounds, particularly those based on blends of the most wear-resistant elnstomers found previously with pale crepe, were considered suitable choices for providing rubber track pads with improved wear resistance. Experimental T142 pads were prepared from these compounds and were service-tested at Yiwa Proving Ground. Experimental T142 pads, having a more rounded contour than the conventional T142 pads, were also prepared for service testing at Yuma. Pads based on Stereon 750, HYTRANS (SBR Type), and Philprene 1609/Cls-4 1351 exhibited significantly improved wear resistance when compared with commercial controls. The addition of pale crepe to Stereon 750 and Philprene 1609/Cis-4 1351 significantly Im- proved the wear resistance of pads based on these elastomers. The roundeJ contour pad did not exhibit significantly Improved wear resistance over that of the conventionally styled pad.

This Laboratory believes that the combination of shearing force and ground pressure placed on the rubber track pads, because of the weight of the M60-series tank (100,000 pounds or more), may exceed the capabilities of currently available elastomers to significantly resist such forces under dynamic (vehicle-moving) conditions. Possibly, because of the vehicle weight factor, a 5000-mile T142 rubber track pad may never be a reality, no matter how designed, but a T142 pad having a life of 3500 miles can now be obtained with compounds based on those elastomers described herein.
RECCMMENDATIONS:
Scale-up to production levels (in pilot lot quantities) should oe continued üy TAC0M on all experimental compositions which exhibit significant improvement in wear resistance in service tests.
Any new low-cost general purpose elastomer introduced commercially that might be expected to produce more wear-resistant track pads should be evaluated to advance the state of the art of track pad technology.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
The assistance of Mr. James Ruby of the Research Directorate in the Banuury mixing of the numerous experimental compounds required for track pad preparation is very much appreciated.
The cooperation of Mr. C. Dale Maas, SARRI-PF, Rock Island Arsenal, in granting permission to use this Arsenal's rubber production facilities is also appreciated. The availability of the shop size Banoury mixer and roll mills greatly reduced the time and effort required to mix the large batches of rubber needed in the preparation of the experimental Crack pads.

(RIGS) (Owens-Corning), 100:100 lignin: rubber latex coprecipitates (National Research Council of Canada), Duoform 3/4 inch fiber wire (National Standards Co.)» brass-plated and low-carbon electro galvanized wire cloth (National Standard Co.) and Santoweb D, an unregenerated cellulose fiber (Monsanto Chemical Co.). None of the reinforcing agents were effective in providing compounds with significant improvement in wear resistance.
3. A 50/50 combination of U.O.P. 8u/Santoflex AW significantly improves the resistance to crack growth of vulcanizates based on SBR 1500, Stereon 750, HYTRANS copolymers and an SBR/polybutadiene blend.
4. The blending of natural (pale crepe) or synthetic natural (Ameripol SN oOO) rubber with SBR 1500, Stereon 750, HYTkANS copolyu.örs or an SHI/ polybutadiene blend significantly improves the resistance to tear, abrasion and crack growth of the resulting vulcanizates.
5. Examination of 17 years of service test data revealed that the main causes of track pad failure were chunking, cutting, abrasion and bond failure. Blowouts (heat buildup) and de lamination were infrequent causes of failure. Internal pad temperatures generally averaged 250oF during operation, but temperatures in excess of 350oF have been recorded on occasion.
6. Correlation was found to exist between service test data and laboratory test data for tear, abrasion and crack growth when all three laboratory tests are considered together. In those instances where the laboratory values for tear, abrasion and crack growth are all oetter than the corresponding values found for the Research Directorate SBR 1500 control compound (S152-1), the service test wear rating is better than that of the Research Directorate control compound which has given wear ratj.igs almost identical to those of commercial SBR pads in numerous ser.ice tests. If only one or two of the three properties is inferior to those of the Research Directorate control compound, the wear rating is lower.
7. An invertible rubber track pad was designed and developed by the Research Directorate for the T130 track. In practice the Invertible concept provides for double service life by simply inverting the pad to expose a new surface after one surface has become worn. The in- vertible track pad concept was forwarded to TAC0M for their consideration and possible adoption.
Pads could be injection 8. Injection molding of T130 pads proved feasible molded in 5-10 minutes at 350° or 400oF compared to a compression molding time of 75 minutes at 320oF. Physical properties of the injection- molded pads were found to be comparable to those of compression-molded pads. Pilot lots of injection-molded 1130 pads have been obtained by

ACOM and are currently being tested. Early results indicate that the wear resistance of the injection-i.iolded pads is significantly better than that of compression-molded pads prepared from the same compounds.
'), Excellent rubber-to-metal vulcanization bonding systems have been ound for all the experimental compounds which have exhibited significantly improved wear reeistance in service tests.
