Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wear and corrosion failure detection, specifically to an experimental method and apparatus for wear and corrosion testing of metal components in a marine atmospheric thin liquid film environment. Background Technology
[0002] In the hot and humid marine atmosphere, materials used in ships and marine engineering equipment not only corrode due to the chemical and electrochemical effects of the environmental medium, resulting in thinning, cracking, and other performance degradation, but their moving metal components also experience material wear due to relative friction, leading to material migration and surface damage. More seriously, under actual operating conditions, mechanical wear and environmental corrosion often coexist, and these two processes are not simply superimposed but rather produce an interactive and synergistic effect—wear corrosion. This coupling effect can accelerate the failure rate of materials by orders of magnitude. Wear corrosion damage directly affects the vibration and motion accuracy of metal components, and can even trigger sudden functional failures. To address this challenge, there is an urgent need to develop specialized testing devices and methods that can realistically reproduce the thin liquid film environment of the atmosphere and accurately evaluate the wear corrosion behavior of metal components under such conditions.
[0003] Currently, although relatively complete test equipment and evaluation methods exist in the field of coupled wear and corrosion damage detection of materials, the construction of dedicated simulation devices and test methods for wear and corrosion between metal components under the specific environment of atmospheric thin liquid film are still weak links.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN115235929A discloses a friction and wear testing device and method for a corrosion simulation medium environment. It uses a salt spray generator, salt spray rubber hose, and salt spray nozzle to provide a corrosive medium to simulate a marine atmospheric environment, suitable for detecting and comparing the friction and wear corrosion performance of structural steel used in complex environments. However, this patent's friction and wear module only involves ball-disc friction between alumina, silicon carbide, and silicon nitride grinding balls and workpieces, without considering the actual friction conditions between metal components. Additionally, Chinese patent application CN120489929A discloses a high / low temperature wear-corrosion coupled damage testing device and quantitative evaluation method. It uses a high / low temperature external circulation temperature controller and a temperature-controlled liquid circulation chamber to regulate temperature, achieving high-precision testing and quantitative analysis of wear and corrosion of metal-based materials in high and low temperature environments. However, this patent does not consider both marine atmospheric environment simulation and friction between metal components.
[0005] To date, existing technologies have enabled the evaluation of wear-corrosion coupled damage, but methods for detecting and evaluating wear-corrosion failures between metal components are still lacking. Therefore, in order to meet the need to reproduce the actual service conditions of metal components in the laboratory, it is necessary to study an experimental method and apparatus for wear-corrosion of metal components in a marine atmospheric thin liquid film environment.

[0044] The specific implementation steps are as follows: Sample preparation: 1Cr15Ni4Mo3N reference Figure 3 The grinding head sample was obtained by machining it into the target shape. The 1Cr15Ni4Mo3N was cut into a size of 10mm*10mm*3mm to obtain the wear sample to be tested. After connecting the wires to the back of the sample, it was cured with epoxy resin and embedded in a PVC tube to prepare the working electrode.
[0045] Thin film zero-point positioning: Fix the working electrode in the sample cell at the center of the electrolytic cell, and fix the micrometer with a platinum needle directly above the working electrode. Slowly adjust the micrometer to move the platinum needle down. When the tip of the platinum needle contacts the surface of the working electrode, the ohmmeter will show a resistance value that jumps from infinity to a certain finite value. At this point, stop moving down immediately and record the micrometer scale value of 5.565 mm. Then move the platinum needle up so that it is away from the electrode surface.
[0046] Thin film thickness measurement: A 3.5 wt.% NaCl corrosive solution was injected into the electrolytic cell, allowing it to overflow the 1Cr15Ni4Mo3N electrode and form a thin film on its surface. The platinum needle was then slowly lowered. When its tip contacted the solution surface, the ohmmeter reading showed the aforementioned step change in resistance. This value was recorded as 5.265 mm, and the film thickness was calculated to be 300 μm.
[0047] Install the friction test assembly: Install the grinding head sample into the clamping unit, assemble the electrolytic cell onto the friction platform, control the grinding head sample to extend into the electrolytic cell through the friction testing machine, and adjust the initial friction position.

[0049] Set parameters and start the test: Set the friction load to 10MPa, the friction frequency to 0.17Hz, and the friction time to 1h. Simultaneously start the friction testing machine and the electrochemical workstation to begin the wear and corrosion failure test.
[0050] like Figure 4As shown, the total volumetric wear corrosion loss in the tested 1Cr15Ni4Mo3N-1Cr15Ni4Mo3N sample under a marine thin-film environment, obtained using white light interferometry, was 2.07*10. -3 mm 3 The volume loss due to pure mechanical wear is 0.54*10. -3 mm 3 The corrosion current density measured from the static polarization curve was used to calculate, using Faraday's law, that the volume loss caused by pure corrosion was 0.0088 * 10⁻⁶. -3 mm 3 Based on the difference in corrosion current density between the static and dynamic polarization curves, the corrosion increment induced by wear is calculated to be 0.0088*10. -3 mm 3 The calculated wear increment caused by corrosion is 1.51 * 10⁻⁶. -3 mm 3 It is evident that the wear volume increase caused by corrosion accounts for over 70% of the total wear volume, highlighting the strong synergistic effect between corrosion and wear.

[0051] Example 2 This invention was used to conduct wear and corrosion tests on 1Cr17Ni2-316L components in marine atmospheric environments.
[0052] Sample preparation: 1Cr17Ni2 reference Figure 3 The grinding head sample was obtained by processing it into the target shape. The 316L was cut into 10mm*10mm*1mm size to obtain the wear sample to be tested. After connecting the wire to the back of the wear sample to be tested, it was cured with epoxy resin and embedded in a PVC tube to prepare the working electrode.
[0053] Thin film zero-point positioning: Fix the 316L wear sample to be tested as the working electrode in the sample cell in the center of the electrolytic cell. Fix a micrometer with a platinum needle directly above the working electrode. Slowly adjust the micrometer to move the platinum needle down. When the tip of the platinum needle contacts the surface of the working electrode, the resistance displayed on the ohmmeter will jump from infinity to a certain finite value. At this point, stop moving down immediately and record the micrometer scale value of 6.812 mm. Then move the platinum needle up to move it away from the electrode surface.
[0054] Thin film thickness measurement: A 3.5 wt.% NaCl corrosive solution is injected into the electrolytic cell, allowing it to overflow the working electrode and form a thin film on its surface. The platinum needle is then slowly lowered again. When its tip contacts the solution surface, the ohmmeter reading will show the aforementioned step change in resistance. This reading is recorded as 6.512 mm, and the film thickness is calculated to be 300 μm.
[0055] Install the friction test assembly: Install the grinding head sample into the clamping unit, assemble the electrolytic cell onto the friction platform, control the grinding head sample to extend into the electrolytic cell through the friction testing machine, and adjust the initial friction position.
[0056] Connect the three-electrode test circuit: Install the platinum counter electrode and the saturated calomel reference electrode to form a complete three-electrode system, and connect it to the electrochemical workstation using the shortest possible shielded cable.
[0057] Set parameters and start the test: Set the friction load to 10MPa, the friction frequency to 1Hz, and the friction time to 1h. Simultaneously start the friction testing machine and the electrochemical workstation to begin the wear and corrosion failure test.
[0058] After the test is completed, as follows Figure 5 As shown, the total volume loss of wear corrosion in the tested wear sample under marine thin liquid film conditions, obtained using a white light interferometer, is 4.10*10. -3 mm 3 The volumetric loss due to pure mechanical wear is 2.80*10. -3 mm 3 The corrosion current density measured from the static polarization curve was used to calculate, using Faraday's law, that the volume loss caused by pure corrosion was 0.0067 * 10⁻⁶. -3 mm 3 Based on the difference in corrosion current density between the static and dynamic polarization curves, the wear-induced corrosion increment is calculated to be 0.17 * 10⁻⁶. -3 mm 3 The corrosion-induced wear increment was calculated to be 1.13 * 10⁻⁶. -3 mm 3 The increase in volumetric loss due to corrosion caused by wear is two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure corrosion, and the increase in wear caused by corrosion accounts for 28% of the total loss. The method of this invention can simulate the contact state of dissimilar metal components under real working conditions and is suitable for testing and studying their wear and corrosion behavior.
