Technical Field

[0002] The corrosion of metal materials has always been a key factor restricting the safe operation of equipment. For example, 316L stainless steel, thanks to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, is widely used in the thermonuclear industry, petrochemical industry, and other fields. In the oil industry, 316L stainless steel is often used for oilfield pipelines and storage tanks due to its high corrosion resistance to media such as CO2.
[0003] However, when hydrogen sulfide is present in the environment, 316L stainless steel can be poisoned, causing accelerated growth of SCC (stress corrosion cracking), posing a potential risk to related equipment. The combined effects of temperature, corrosive media, and mechanical factors can make equipment highly susceptible to corrosive damage. This corrosion often causes equipment and components to break suddenly and rapidly without any prior signs of deformation.
[0004] Currently, stress corrosion testing equipment for metal materials has many shortcomings. For example, most devices struggle to precisely control the atmosphere of multiple corrosive gases, making them unable to simulate complex, actual operating conditions. Temperature control accuracy is insufficient, affecting the accuracy of test results. Furthermore, the devices are complex in structure, expensive to manufacture, and cumbersome to operate, making them difficult to meet the demands of efficient testing.

[0039] The tensile testing machine 1 is the main structure of the device. The tensile testing machine 1 is a frame-type main structure with upper and lower symmetrically arranged clamps for clamping the sample 5. The clamps are provided with flanges for sealing connection with the telescopic tube 6. The tensile testing machine 1 provides mechanical support and tensile stress for the test. The upper and lower clamps clamp the sample 5, applying tensile stress to the sample 5 to simulate the mechanical loads to which the material is subjected in actual working conditions.
[0040] Specimen 5 is cylindrical with a length of 10 cm and a diameter of 1 cm. Both ends of specimen 5 are notched according to ASTM G49 standard and clamped in the fixture of tensile testing machine 1 as the stress corrosion test object.
[0041] The temperature control device controls the heating device 3 to heat and keep the test environment warm through the temperature controller 2, and monitors the temperature of the test environment in real time through the temperature sensor 4;
[0042] The two ends of the telescopic tube 6 are sealedly connected to the upper and lower clamps of the tensile testing machine 1 through flanges; the telescopic tube 6 is sleeved on the outside of the sample 5 to isolate the sample 5 from the outside;
[0043] The gas supply device is connected to the telescopic tube 6, and the gas supply device fills the telescopic tube 6 with gas to perform the experiment.
[0044] Furthermore, the telescopic tube 6 is a hollow tube with a bellows structure in the middle. The bellows structure in the middle is elastic and can expand and contract along with the deformation of the sample 5 when the sample 5 is stretched, without affecting the tensile test of the sample 5, while maintaining the sealing of the test space.
[0045] Each end of the telescopic tube 6 has a hollow cylinder with a height of 3 cm and a diameter of 5 cm. The ends of the hollow cylinder are sealed with flanges, which are connected to the flanges on the fixture of the tensile testing machine 1; a sealing ring and a pressure ring are provided between the two flanges; the two flanges are sealed and connected by hexagonal bolts to form a closed test space and accommodate the tensile deformation of the specimen 5.
[0046] Furthermore, the temperature control device includes a temperature controller 2, a heating device 3 and a temperature sensor 4;
[0047] The temperature controller 2 is connected to the heating device 3 and the temperature sensor 4 through wires, and is used to set the heating program, control the operation of the heating device 3 and monitor the test temperature;
[0048] The heating device 3 is a heating rod, one end of which is connected to the wire of the temperature controller 2, and the other end of which extends into the interior of the telescopic tube 6, for heating the test environment;
[0049] The temperature sensor 4 is a slender rod-shaped thermocouple, one end of which is connected to the wire of the temperature controller 2 and the other end extends into the interior of the telescopic tube 6, and is used to measure the test temperature in real time and transmit signals to the temperature controller 2.
[0050] Furthermore, the gas supply device includes a gas cylinder 9 and a flow controller 8;
[0051] The flow controller 8 has an air inlet and an air outlet.

The flow controller 8 controls the gas flow from the gas cylinder 9 into the telescopic tube 6. The flow ratio of different gases is adjusted according to the test requirements to achieve accurate simulation of multiple atmosphere environments.
[0052] It should be noted that the heating device 3, temperature sensor 4, flow controller 8 and exhaust device, which extend into the telescopic tube or are connected to the telescopic tube, need to be sealed with Maitu TSE382 high-temperature sealant to prevent air leakage.
[0053] The gas cylinder 9 is a cylindrical container, which is connected to the gas inlet of the flow controller 8 through a gas pipe and is used to store the gas required for the test. The gas cylinder 9 has three gas cylinders respectively filled with hydrogen sulfide gas, nitrogen and oxygen.
[0054] Furthermore, the gas supply device also includes an exhaust device 7; the exhaust device 7 is a container filled with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, which is connected to the telescopic tube 6 through an air pipe and is used to treat test waste gas, such as corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide, by chemically reacting the sodium hydroxide solution with the waste gas to absorb it and prevent the waste gas from being discharged into the environment and causing pollution.
[0055] Working principle of a multi-atmosphere high-temperature stress corrosion tensile testing device
[0056] First, the sample 5 is clamped on the fixture of the tensile testing machine 1, and sealed to the fixture through the telescopic tube 6 to form a closed test space. The temperature controller 2 heats the test space by controlling the heating device 3, and uses the temperature sensor 4 to monitor the temperature in real time to achieve the temperature conditions required for the test. The gas in the gas cylinder 9 enters the test space after the flow is adjusted by the flow controller 8, providing the required multi-atmosphere environment for the test. During the test, the tensile testing machine 1 applies tensile stress to the sample 5 to simulate the mechanical effects that the material is subjected to in actual use. The exhaust gas generated by the test is treated through the exhaust device 7 to prevent environmental pollution. By separately regulating factors such as temperature, gas flow, and stress, high-temperature corrosion tests in complex environments can be achieved, thereby studying the stress corrosion behavior of materials under different conditions.
[0057] The present invention also discloses a multi-atmosphere high-temperature stress corrosion tensile test method, comprising the following steps:
[0058] S1: Install the sample 5 and the telescopic tube 6 on the tensile testing machine 1;
[0059] S2: Connect one end of the heating device 3 and the temperature sensor 4 to the temperature controller 2, and extend the other end into the telescopic tube 6. Set the program to control the temperature from room temperature to 200°C and keep it warm; and monitor the temperature of the test environment in real time through the temperature sensor 4 to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range.
[0060] S3: After the temperature stabilizes, open the hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and oxygen cylinders 9. According to the test requirements, set the flow rate of each gas through the flow controller 8 so that the gas enters the experimental space at the set flow rate to form the required multi-atmosphere environment.
[0061] S4: Connect the exhaust device 7 to the bottom of the telescopic tube 6 through the air pipe, and use 10% sodium hydroxide solution to treat the exhaust gas;
[0062] S5: Start the tensile testing machine 1 and start the multi-atmosphere high-temperature stress corrosion tensile test. During the test, the temperature, gas flow, stress and other parameters are monitored in real time and the test data are recorded.
[0063] S6: After the test, sample 5 was analyzed and tested to study the stress corrosion behavior of the material in a multi-atmosphere high-temperature environment.
[0064] Furthermore, in step S1, installing the specimen 5 and the telescopic tube 6 on the tensile testing machine 1 specifically includes: first, sealingly connecting the lower end of the telescopic tube 6 to the clamp on the lower side of the tensile testing machine 1, compressing the telescopic tube 6 downward to put the telescopic tube 6 into a compressed state. In this state, the telescopic tube 6 will not interfere with the installation of the specimen 5 on the clamp. According to the ASTM G49 standard, a notched tensile specimen 5 is used, and a cylindrical specimen 5 with a length of 10 cm and a diameter of 1 cm is clamped between the upper and lower clamps of the tensile testing machine 1, ensuring that the axis of the specimen 5 coincides with the axis of the tensile machine; when both ends of the specimen 5 are tightened on the clamps, the telescopic tube 6 is extended upward, and the upper end of the telescopic tube 6 is sealed to the flange of the upper clamp; at this time, the telescopic tube 6 encloses the specimen 5 inside, and the experiment can be carried out.
