The use of cross-linking polyethylene was increased, especially for the
medium & high voltage electrical cables instead of paper and oil insulating
materials. The radiated low density polyethylene is the best technique in the
process of cross-link
ing instead of chemical method.
The purpose of this study is to find the relation between mechanical
properties of polyethylene samples and the dose rate of irradiation to cross –
link the polyethylene materials and to get the best properties.
This paper illustrates also the important results, that we have obtained in
this study.
