Problems solved by technology

Zirconium alloy cladding chrome-plated coating, the substrate and coating materials are not magnetically conductive materials, and the materials cannot meet the test requirements
The eddy current method is suitable for the measurement of the thickness of the non-conductive layer on the conductive metal, the material does not meet the requirements, and the test accuracy is low, requiring plane test and contact test
The ultrasonic method determines the thickness of the material to be tested by measuring the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave in the material, but the measurement accuracy of the millimeter level cannot meet the requirements for the thickness of the Cr coating in the range of 5 to 30 μm
Traditional X-ray thickness gauges have high power and are suitable for penetrating thick plates to measure attenuation and determine plate thickness. The principle and accuracy are not in line

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-destructive testing method for an accident-resistant coating of a full-scale nuclear fuel cladding tube element, which comprises the following steps: 1. Installing a detection device around the discharge port of an automatic feeding device; 2. Carrying out the outer surface of the tube element Mesh division; 3. Conduct non-destructive testing on the pipe elements using a testing device to obtain test results. The invention utilizes the principle of reflection and diffraction of X-rays at the interface, designs a detection device, and divides the pipe element into grids along the directions parallel to and perpendicular to the axial direction, divides them into several grids equally, and checks the entire grid within a set time. Thickness and defect of fuel coating on-line continuous high-precision, high-efficiency, full-coverage non-destructive testing, suitable for non-destructive testing of surface coatings of tube components with large length-to-diameter ratio, excluding artificial feeding Error, through grid division, it is convenient for responsibility area division, recording and problem grid backtracking, which is suitable for large-scale, continuous, high-precision and fast non-destructive testing with high requirements.
