Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the creep supervision and detection of high-temperature bolts in thermal power plants, and in particular to a method for measuring the creep deformation of high-temperature bolts. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-temperature bolts are one of the important components in steam turbine equipment in thermal power plants, connecting high-temperature components such as steam turbine cylinders, main steam valves, regulating valves, and steam guide pipes, to ensure that no leakage accidents occur during the operation of the unit. The shank of the bolt bears axial tensile stress, and creep deformation will occur under high-temperature and high-pressure operating conditions. Creep rupture failure is one of the main failure modes of high-temperature bolts. Therefore, the creep supervision of high-temperature bolts is an important part of the metal technology supervision in thermal power plants.
[0003] Currently, for the creep measurement of high-temperature bolts, the power industry standard DL / T 439-2018 "Technical Guidelines for High-Temperature Fasteners in Thermal Power Plants" stipulates that the creep supervision and measurement should be performed on high-pressure inner cylinder bolts. The measurement method is to punch sample holes on the end faces of the bolt on both sides before use, and to measure the distance change between the sample holes to determine the creep deformation of the high-temperature bolt. This measurement method has two problems. First, the sample hole surface will oxidize in a high-temperature environment, and the generated oxide scale is easy to fall off, causing deformation of the sample hole and affecting the measurement of the distance between the sample holes on both sides. Second, the measuring tool commonly used for creep measurement is a micrometer, and its measuring surface is a circular plane. The sample hole is concave on the bolt end face, and its inner surface is a spherical surface. The two cannot be fitted together, and there are few high-precision measuring tools in other conventional measuring tools that can be used for the measurement of the distance between the sample holes. In view of this, in actual work, the creep measurement of high-temperature bolts is rarely carried out, and the detection personnel often feel helpless. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a method for measuring the creep deformation of high-temperature bolts.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above-mentioned problems is: a method for measuring the creep deformation of high-temperature bolts, characterized in that the measurement method comprises the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: At a temperature of about 20℃, use a standard rod to calibrate the micrometer for measurement, and calculate the zero correction value of the micrometer according to the following formula:
[0007]
[0008] In the formula:
[0009] B: zero correction value of the micrometer;
[0010] b1: zero value of the micrometer before measurement, mm;
[0011] b2: the zero value of the micrometer after measurement, mm.
[0012] Step 2: Perform the creep measurement before the high-temperature bolt operation, slowly rotate the micrometer ratchet to make the measuring surface of the micrometer contact the measuring surfaces of measuring points one and three; measure three times, and the measurement results are recorded as L1, L2, and L3 respectively, and take the arithmetic mean value wherein
[0013] Step 3: Similarly, perform the creep measurement on measuring points two and four, measure three times, and the measurement results are recorded as L1', L2', and L3' respectively, and take the average value wherein The initial length of the high-temperature bolt before operation is recorded as L 初 , and

[0021] t ck : the temperature of the micrometer bow, ℃.
[0022] Step 5: Perform the creep measurement on the high-temperature bolt after operation, and perform the creep measurement on measuring points one and three according to step 2; measure three times, and the measurement results are recorded as L 1h , L 2h , and L 3h , and take the arithmetic mean value wherein
[0023] Step 6: Similarly, perform the creep measurement on measuring points two and four, measure three times, and the measurement results are recorded as L 1h ', L 2h ', and L 3h ', and take the average value wherein the length of the high-temperature bolt after operation is recorded as L 运 , and
[0024]
[0025] Step 7: the length of the high-temperature bolt after operation at 0℃ is recorded as L 运h , and is calculated according to the following formula.
[0026]
[0027] Step 8: the absolute creep deformation of the high-temperature bolt is calculated and recorded as ΔL, and is calculated according to the following formula.
[0028] ΔL = L 运h - L 初1
[0029] Step 9: the relative creep strain of the high-temperature bolt is calculated and recorded as ε (%), and is calculated according to the following formula.
[0030]
[0031] Further, the micrometer reading should be accurate to 0.005 mm, less than 0.0025 mm can be ignored, equal to or greater than 0.0025 mm should be advanced to 0.005 mm, less than 0.0075 mm should be reduced to 0.005 mm, equal to or greater than 0.0075 mm should be advanced to 0.010 mm.
[0032] Further, if the variation between the three readings of each creep measurement point exceeds 0.010 mm, it should be re-measured.
[0033] Further, after measuring each creep measurement point, the temperature of the bow of the micrometer and the surface temperature near the creep measurement point should be measured immediately.
[0034] Further, two creep measurement points are arranged on each side of the end surface of the high-temperature bolt, including measurement point one, measurement point two, measurement point three and measurement point four, wherein measurement point one and measurement point two are arranged on one side, and measurement point three and measurement point four are arranged on the other side; the creep measurement points are all cylindrical and are divided into upper and lower layers, the upper layer of the measurement point is made of stainless steel, and the lower layer of the measurement point is made of the same material as the bolt.
