This invention discloses a method for evaluating the
irradiation embrittlement of
metallic materials based on surface
thermal conductivity, comprising the following steps: S1, irradiating the
metal sample to be tested, establishing an
irradiation damage amount-damage depth curve, and obtaining the maximum
irradiation damage depth; S2, measuring the nanohardness of unirradiated
metal samples and irradiated
metal samples with different irradiation damage amounts; S3, determining the test
laser frequency, and measuring the surface
thermal conductivity of unirradiated metal samples and irradiated metal samples with different irradiation damage amounts; S4, establishing a nanohardness-surface
thermal conductivity curve; S5, based on the test
laser frequency, measuring the surface thermal
conductivity of the metal sample to be tested after irradiation, and determining the nanohardness of the metal sample to be tested after irradiation; S6, calculating the ductile-brittle
transition temperature increment of the metal sample to be tested after irradiation. This invention effectively evaluates the irradiation
embrittlement level of
metallic materials through non-destructive measurement of the surface thermal
conductivity, and has the advantages of being non-destructive, remote, and capable of real-time detection.
