Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal material corrosion resistance evaluation and detection, and particularly relates to a rapid and controllable metal cavitation resistance testing method. Background Art
[0002] Cavitation is primarily a phenomenon in which metal surfaces in contact with fluids undergo cave-like corrosion damage when the fluid is flowing at high speed and undergoing pressure changes. Cavitation primarily damages the protective film on metal materials, accelerating the rate of corrosion. It is characterized by the formation of numerous small pits on the surface of the metal material that then slowly expand into caves. Cavitation is caused by high-frequency elastic stress waves acting on the surface of a metal material immersed in a solution. The stress pulse in the liquid is caused by the pressure wave or high-speed jet generated when the cavitation bubble collapses. The amplitude of the stress pulse varies from several hundred to several thousand. Such a high stress pulse can easily lead to deformation and loss of metal materials used in industry, which can not only directly cause cavitation strength damage to the metal material, but can also cause fatigue damage to the metal material.
[0003] Traditionally, there are two ways to assess the corrosion and cavitation resistance of metal components. One involves conducting in-situ tests on a specific material. However, these tests are time-consuming and uneconomical. Furthermore, due to the complexity of the on-site environment, it is difficult to draw regular evaluation indicators and conclusions. Furthermore, a large magnitude of cyclic loads must be applied to the sample. Because cycles often occur at a relatively low frequency, the test time is too long, and the applied load can easily cause destructive and irreversible damage to the test. After the sample loses its surface integrity, a large amount of debris flakes off, contaminating the test solution and reducing the recyclability of the equipment. Consequently, the cost-effectiveness and timeliness of the test are poor. Summary of the Invention

Compare it with the surface integrity roughness coefficient of the initial material to obtain the surface integrity factor σ n ;
[0022] S3.3, with A c =σ n / P c As a control and judgment index of the sample's anti-cavitation ability, the smaller the Ac value, the more corrosion-resistant the metal is under a certain degree of cavitation and the better its anti-cavitation ability is.
[0023] In the above solution, in step S2.2, the AC wave frequency F is calculated based on the acoustic vibration frequency f, which is specifically determined by the characteristic equations of the two elastic materials, the isotropic piezoelectric ceramic and the horn:

For different metal materials, the input and output operating parameters, such as driving voltage, acoustic vibration frequency, and reaction time, can be controlled through a combination of simulation and experimentation to achieve personalized adjustment of the reaction rate and intensity of the cavitation reaction on the sample surface. The cavitation resistance is then determined by detecting the microscopic surface morphology.

Simulating the sound pressure center obtained under a single-factor input, the spatial position of the reaction sample is designed to reflect the sound waves from the bottom and side walls of the reaction tank, creating different vibration modes in the sound field within the liquid. This ensures that the point where the ultrasonic wave has the highest energy in the water is consistent with the simulation results, ensuring that the end face with the strongest sound pressure covers the vicinity of the metal surface to be treated. By utilizing the acoustic resonance of the reaction tank, a low-power sound source is used to generate a concentrated sound field in a localized area of the water, thereby improving the efficiency of cavitation erosion of the sample surface.

[0049] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, it is a flow chart of a method for testing the metal anti-cavitation ability provided by the present invention, wherein the method uses a high-frequency cavitation reaction device to perform ultrasonic cavitation treatment on the sample. Figure 2 As shown, the high-frequency cavitation reaction device includes a piezoelectric transducer, a horn, a reaction cell, a sample, and an AC signal generator. The reaction cell contains a solution, and the sample is placed in the reaction cell. One end of the horn is placed in the solution, and the other end is connected to the piezoelectric transducer. The AC signal generator is connected to the two poles of the piezoelectric transducer. The AC signal generator is used to generate an AC signal with a certain frequency and waveform. The piezoelectric transducer is used to convert the input AC into mechanical vibration (i.e., ultrasonic waves of a certain frequency). The horn is used to amplify the vibration displacement of the ultrasonic waves, increasing the intensity of the ultrasonic waves, and finally outputting them into the solution in the reaction cell, thereby generating an acoustic field and a cavitation bubble field in the reaction cell. The horn facilitates stress concentration in specific reaction areas, causing accelerated damage and failure of the material surface. The solution is configured as an acidic or alkaline solution with different physical and chemical properties according to the different service environments of the metal material.
[0051] Specifically, the piezoelectric transducer includes a mass block, a pre-tightening bolt, and a piezoelectric ceramic. The piezoelectric ceramic is composed of several positive and negative stacked ceramic sheets. The pre-tightening bolts connect the mass block to the positive and negative stacked ceramic sheets from top to bottom, respectively, and finally the piezoelectric ceramic is fixedly contacted with the large end of the amplitude transformer. The mass block is used to seal the piezoelectric transducer, and the pre-tightening bolts are used to provide pre-tightening force for the piezoelectric ceramic. The two poles of the piezoelectric ceramic are connected to the positive and negative poles of the AC signal generator respectively, converting the electrical signal into an ultrasonic vibration signal. The piezoelectric ceramic is made of lead zirconium carbonate, and the mass block and pre-tightening bolts are both made of steel.
[0052] The high-frequency cavitation reaction device also includes a tray and a mounting bracket. The tray is suspended in the reaction tank by steel wires on both sides, and the Z-position of the sample is adjusted by pulling or lowering the steel wires. The surface of the tray is covered with a 1×1 cm grid, and the position of the sample in the XY plane is adjusted according to the grid. The mounting bracket includes a base, a vertical rod mounted on the base, and a horizontal bracket mounted on the vertical rod. A slide with a scale is provided on the base along the X direction, and a movable stud is provided in the slide. The bottom of the reaction tank is provided with a threaded hole adapted to the stud, and the reaction tank is fixed to the appropriate position of the base via the threaded stud. The horizontal bracket is used to install the piezoelectric transducer and amplitude transformer above the reaction tank. One end of the horizontal bracket is mounted on the vertical rod and can move along the vertical rod. The other end of the horizontal bracket is connected to the large end of the radiator of the amplitude transformer. The reaction tank is made of a transparent material.
[0053] To improve the efficiency of the cavitation sample surface, the method of the present invention first obtains the sound pressure center through simulation, thereby designing the spatial position of the sample in the high-frequency cavitation reaction device, so as to achieve the purpose of generating a concentrated sound field in a local area of water by a low-power sound source. Finally, the morphology of the sample after cavitation treatment is tested to further evaluate its cavitation resistance. Specifically, the method of testing the cavitation resistance of metals of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0054] S1. Using the COMSOL simulation platform, we conducted an acoustic-structural boundary modal analysis of the high-frequency cavitation reaction device between the variable-spoke rod and the reaction tank solution under a single parameter (i.e., driving voltage V0). The underwater distribution of the acoustic waves was obtained through pressure acoustic analysis. Specifically, this includes:
[0055] S1.1. Create a 1:1 model of the electric transducer, horn, and reaction tank in CATIA and import it into the COMSOL simulation platform. The solver used is eigenfrequency analysis. The coupled physical fields include solid mechanics, pressure acoustics, and piezoelectric effect. Set the driving voltage V0 of the piezoelectric transducer as a single parameter, set the minimum operating frequency f0min and maximum operating frequency f0max of the piezoelectric transducer, scan frequency θ∈f0min~f0max, and frequency step f0step. Then, scan the number of times to obtain the eigenfrequency. Perform pressure acoustic analysis at the Nth eigenfrequency. The purpose of this step is to find the optimal resonant frequency between the piezoelectric transducer and the horn under a certain driving voltage.
[0056] S1.2. Analyze the simulation results of the N-th sound field characteristic value to obtain the underwater sound field distribution cloud map of the maximum sound pressure level under the input of the driving voltage V0.

The AC wave frequency F is calculated based on the acoustic vibration frequency f, which is specifically determined by the characteristic equations of the two elastic materials, the isotropic piezoelectric ceramic and the horn:
[0060]
[0061] Where ρ is the material density of the piezoelectric ceramic, ω is the angular frequency, f is the acoustic frequency, u is the structural displacement, and P is the bolt preload force. is the driving force of the piezoelectric ceramic to the horn, and F is the frequency of the AC wave.

[0065] S3.1. Define the instantaneous cavitation power Pc based on the sound pressure level p and acoustic frequency f obtained in S1 and the processing time t in step S2. Define the instantaneous cavitation power Pc as:
[0066]
[0067] Where p is the sound pressure level, f is the acoustic frequency, t is the processing time, and θ is the correction coefficient.
[0068] S3.2. Obtain the 3D profile of the sample surface and obtain the surface integrity roughness coefficient Ra by observing the difference between the peak Rp and the valley Rv of the roughness. Compare it with the surface integrity roughness coefficient of the initial material to obtain the surface integrity factor σ n .
[0069] S3.3, with A c =σ n / P c As a control and judgment index of the sample's anti-cavitation ability, the smaller the Ac value, the more corrosion-resistant the metal is under a certain degree of cavitation and the better its anti-cavitation ability is.
[0070] The following describes the method for testing the metal anti-cavitation ability of the present invention through specific examples.
[0071] S1.1. Create a 1:1 model of the piezoelectric transducer, horn, and reaction tank in CATIA and import it into the COMSOL simulation platform. Figure 3 Set the driving voltage V0 of the piezoelectric transducer to 350V, set the minimum operating frequency f0min to 19kHz and the maximum operating frequency f0max to 21kHz, the scanning frequency θ∈19~21kHz, the frequency step f0step to 50Hz, and then scan the number of times to obtain the characteristic frequency times, and performed pressure acoustic analysis at 40 characteristic frequencies.
[0072] S1.2. Analyze the simulation results of 40 acoustic field characteristic values and obtain the underwater acoustic field distribution cloud map of the maximum two groups of sound pressure levels under the driving voltage V0 = 350V input, as shown in Figure 3 As shown in (a) and (b), the corresponding piezoelectric transducer acoustic vibration frequencies are f1 = 20 kHz, f2 = 19.85 kHz, and the sound pressure levels are p1 = 8.1 × 10 3 MPa, p2=8.4×10 3 The maximum sound pressure areas (i.e., the areas with the maximum cavitation intensity) under the two sets of acoustic vibration frequencies are distributed on the left and right wings of the central axis of the reaction tank.
[0073] S1.3. Calculate the hard point coordinates P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) and P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) of the sound pressure center of the reaction area using simulation software and output specific values.
[0074] S2. To better illustrate the method of the present invention, this embodiment processes three groups of samples of the same metal material. A high-frequency cavitation reaction device is built as required, and the operating parameters of the AC signal generator are set to:
[0075] For the first set of samples, the driving voltage V0 = 350 V, the AC wave frequency F1 = 50 Hz (corresponding to the acoustic vibration frequency f1 = 20 kHz), and the processing time t1 = 1 min were used. The sample was adjusted to P1 (X1, Y1, Z1) and the AC signal generator was activated.
[0076] The second set of samples: driving voltage V0 = 350V, AC wave frequency F2 = 100Hz (corresponding to acoustic vibration frequency f2 = 19.85kHz), processing time t2 = 1min; adjust the sample to P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) and start the AC signal generator;
[0077] The third group of samples: driving voltage V0 = 350 V, AC wave frequency F2 = 100 Hz (corresponding acoustic vibration frequency f2 = 19.85 kHz), processing time t3 = 5 min; adjust the sample to P2 (X2, Y2, Z2) and start the AC signal generator.
[0078] S3, Figure 4 In the figure, (a) is the original surface morphology observation result of the metal material, (b), (c), and (d) are the surface morphology observation results of the first, second, and third groups of samples after ultrasonic cavitation treatment, respectively. Figure 5 (a)-(d) correspond to the 3D profiles of the surfaces of the four groups of samples after ultrasonic cavitation treatment. The surface integrity factor σ after cavitation can be evaluated by observing the difference between the peak and valley of the roughness. The larger the σ, the better the sample is after a certain intensity of ultrasonic cavitation treatment. Figure 5 In (a), the more significant the decrease in the original surface roughness of the base material, the higher the degree of deterioration, and thus the more severe the cavitation degree of the metal.
[0079] In this embodiment, by Figure 5 (a) The surface integrity roughness coefficient of the initial material is obtained as Ra1 = Rp1 - Rv1 = 0.705609, and its surface integrity factor σ1 = 1; the other three groups of surface integrity factors are:
[0080]
[0081] In the above formula, Ran represents the surface integrity roughness coefficient, Ran = Rpn-Rvn, Rpn is the peak value, Rvn is the valley value, and n = 2, 3, 4.
[0082] Please continue to see Figure 3Under a certain driving voltage and acoustic vibration frequency, the sound field is distributed symmetrically around the axis of the horn. The sound pressure value in the water area along the axis is larger than that in other water areas. The sound pressure at the end of the horn is the largest relative to the surrounding sound pressure, and the sound pressure gradually decreases with the increase of the distance from the end face of the horn. The locations with large positive and negative phase sound pressure are mainly concentrated directly below the end of the horn, while in the water area outside the axis of the horn, the sound pressure value is greatly reduced, and the distribution of the sound field is uneven. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a generalized instantaneous cavitation power P c The transient equation is:
[0083]
[0084] Where p is the sound pressure level, f is the acoustic frequency, t is the processing time, and θ is the correction coefficient.
[0085] Finally, the control and judgment index A of the sample's anti-cavitation ability can be obtained c =σ n / P c , if A c The smaller the value, the more corrosion-resistant the metal is under a certain degree of cavitation and the better its cavitation resistance is.
[0086] In this embodiment, the surface integrity factor of the second group of samples is σ2=270%, and the instantaneous cavitation power P c =2.7Amm 2 / s, its A c =100%;
[0087] The surface integrity factor of the third group of samples is σ3 = 333%, and the instantaneous cavitation power P c =2.49Amm 2 / s, its A c =133.74%;
[0088] The surface integrity factor of the fourth group of samples is σ4 = 725%, and the instantaneous cavitation power P c =2.49Amm 2 / s, its A c =291.17%;
[0089] By comparison, it can be seen that the anti-cavitation ability of the three groups of samples is: the second group of samples > the third group of samples > the fourth group of samples.
[0090] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims, all of which are protected by the present invention.
