Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of corrosion resistance test devices, and in particular relates to an experimental device for simulating seawater accelerated corrosion of rock materials and a durability test method. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of underground transportation, undersea tunnels have gradually become a common underground engineering project. The bearing system of undersea tunnels is formed by the interaction of the lining structure and the surrounding rock. Undersea tunnel accidents often occur due to surrounding rock instability and encountering unfavorable geological sections. The strength and stability of the surrounding rock are affected by seawater corrosion: the water-rock interaction softens the rock, and the chemical media in the solution corrode the rock. Under the action of seawater corrosion, the mechanical properties of the rock, such as strength, deformation, and durability, deteriorate, resulting in a decline in the engineering performance of the rock mass, threatening the safety and service life of the undersea tunnel. Therefore, the mechanical, deformation, and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock of undersea tunnels are key issues affecting the safety of engineering construction and the longevity of operation. However, due to the inadequate understanding of the physical and chemical damage mechanisms of rock under seawater corrosion and the lack of a rock damage evaluation system under seawater corrosion, it is particularly important to conduct research on the dynamic fatigue failure mechanism of rock under seawater corrosion.
[0003] Real-world seawater erosion of tunnel surrounding rock is characterized by a prolonged effect and limited short-term effects. Therefore, in testing environments, measures to accelerate seawater erosion are necessary to shorten the testing period and thus expedite the testing process. Numerous factors influence the rate of seawater erosion, including temperature and ion concentration. However, in general, the corrosive environment of rock is not the result of a single corrosive factor, but rather the combined effects of multiple factors.
[0004] Concrete buildings and structures that are more common in marine engineering also face the same research difficulties.
[0005] Currently, most patents related to accelerating seawater corrosion use heating, increasing ion concentration, and designing physical devices to simulate ocean wave motion to accelerate corrosion. These physical devices, such as propellers and blades, only achieve a simple simulation of ocean wave motion. Furthermore, most specimens are static or fixed on a sample holder, so the impact of seawater on the specimens is often uneven and incomplete. Consequently, the accelerated corrosion effect is limited, making it difficult to conduct durability tests under various complex conditions.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to innovate and improve the existing experimental equipment for accelerated corrosion experiments to solve the existing technical difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0018] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the detection mechanism also includes a small point load testing machine provided on the sample and equipped with a stress sensor.
[0019] Another object of the present invention is to provide a durability testing method for an experimental device simulating seawater accelerated corrosion of rock materials, the durability testing method comprising the following steps:
[0020] Step S1: while accelerating corrosion in the experimental device, a point load test is performed, and a stress sensor is installed on a small corrosion-resistant point load testing machine, and a temperature sensor and an ion concentration sensor are used to achieve simultaneous accelerated corrosion and point load testing and real-time monitoring;
[0021] Step S2: Through point load test, a fixed target load is applied using a small point load tester under the monitoring of the stress sensor. P , obtain the point load intensity of the small point load tester under the corrosive solution and the time from the beginning of corrosion to the destruction of the sample, and then conduct a calibration study on the relationship between the durability of the sample and the ion concentration and corrosion time;
[0022] Step S3: The point load strength and uniaxial compressive strength conversion formula is used to convert the sample uniaxial compressive strength under different corrosive solutions with the corrosion time and solution concentration, and the fatigue strength or fatigue life evolution of the sample under the coupling of different corrosion environments and loads is obtained.
[0023] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the specific steps of step S2 are to apply pressure to the loading system outside the device through an external hydraulic pipeline, start the small point load testing machine inside the device, load the target point load value, and keep the load constant. The stress sensor on the small point load testing machine enables the data monitoring machine outside the detection mechanism to display the real-time stress size of the small point load testing machine. When the final point load stress value suddenly drops to zero, it indicates that the sample is damaged. The duration and the applied damage load stress are recorded, and by repeating the experiment continuously, the relationship between the initial applied load stress and the durability time and the ion concentration of the corrosion solution is obtained, thereby calibrating the relationship between the durability of the sample and the ion concentration and corrosion time.
[0024] The present invention has the beneficial effects of enabling the specimen and the detection mechanism to rotate in opposite directions and controlling their rotational speed, significantly increasing the contact area per unit time between the specimen and the corrosive solution, accelerating ion diffusion and thereby accelerating the corrosion rate of the specimen. This helps shorten the response time of the durability test and further addresses the problem of long corrosion durability test cycles and insignificant short-term results. Furthermore, fan blades with inclined cross sections are evenly mounted around the inner wall of the second inner cylinder. Driven by power, the fan blades rotate with the second inner cylinder, promoting the flow of corrosive solution within the second inner cylinder. The base is fixed to the inner shaft gear by an interlocking manner, and the specimen is directly mounted on a threaded column made of plastic material, effectively preventing the specimen from repeated scratching and local damage. Furthermore, the numerical relationship between ion concentration and time measured by the ion concentration sensor can be used to calibrate the relationship between the corrosion degree of rock or concrete specimens and the ion concentration before and after corrosion and the corrosion time. Alternatively, other monitoring methods, such as a corrosion-resistant small point load tester, can be installed on the specimen to monitor the entire dynamic erosion and damage process of the specimen in real time, enabling the simultaneous performance of accelerated corrosion and point load testing. By converting the point load strength and uniaxial compression strength conversion formula, we can obtain the variation law of the uniaxial compression strength of the sample under different corrosive solutions with corrosion time and solution concentration, as well as the fatigue strength or fatigue life evolution law of the sample under different corrosion environments and load coupling, so as to carry out more in-depth research on the corrosion mechanical response of rock or concrete.

Using the numerical relationship between the measured ion concentration after corrosion and time, the relationship between the degree of corrosion of rock or concrete specimens and the ion concentration before and after corrosion, as well as the corrosion time, is studied. The ion concentration, monitored in real time at multiple points, is used as a response indicator of the degree of corrosion, thereby quantitatively characterizing the degree of sandstone corrosion.
[0042] A durability testing method for an experimental device simulating seawater accelerated corrosion of rock materials, the durability testing method comprising the following steps:
[0043] Step S1: While the experimental device is accelerating corrosion, a point load test is performed. A stress sensor is installed on the corrosion-resistant small point load tester 44, and other sensors such as temperature sensors and ion concentration sensors are used to achieve simultaneous accelerated corrosion and point load testing and real-time monitoring.
[0044] Step S2: Through point load test, a fixed target load is applied by using a small point load tester 44 under the monitoring of the stress sensor. P , obtain the point load intensity of the small point load tester 44 under the corrosive solution and the time from the beginning of corrosion to the destruction of the sample, and then conduct a calibration study on the relationship between the durability of the sample 45 and the ion concentration and corrosion time;
[0045] Step S3: Convert using the point load strength and uniaxial compression strength conversion formula:
[0046] First, the point load intensity index is calculated as follows:
[0047]
[0048] Where, is the uncorrected point load intensity index; —Equivalent diameter of the specimen (mm), —The maximum load at which the specimen fails (N).
[0049] The International Society of Rock Mechanics uses the strength index value of the radial loading point load test of a cylindrical specimen with a diameter of 50 mm as Determined as standard test value.
[0050] For standard specimens, the conversion method between uniaxial compressive strength and point load strength index is:
[0051]
[0052] Where, ——Empirical parameters. The value range is generally 22.8~23.7
[0053] For non-standard specimens, Make corrections:
[0054]
[0055] The variation law of uniaxial compressive strength of rock or concrete with corrosion time and solution concentration under different corrosion solutions can be obtained, as well as the evolution law of fatigue strength or fatigue life of rock or concrete under the coupling of different corrosion environments and loads.
[0056] During operation, the electrically controlled liquid valve 23 on the first pipeline 24 is opened, and the corrosive solution of the set concentration is discharged from the corrosive solution generator 32 and introduced into the detection mechanism 1 through the first pipeline 24. After the detection mechanism 1 is filled, the electrically controlled liquid valve 23 on the first pipeline 24 is closed. When the ambient temperature of the solution in the detection mechanism 1 needs to be increased, the heating rod 34 is started to heat the detection mechanism 1 to the target temperature; when the ambient temperature of the solution in the detection mechanism 1 needs to be lowered, the refrigeration pipe 35 is started to cool the detection mechanism 1 to the target temperature. When the ambient ion concentration of the solution in the detection mechanism 1 needs to be adjusted, the concentration control unit 3 and the liquid circulation unit 5 are activated in coordination, and the concentration is changed by controlling the corrosive solution generator 32 and the pressure water tank 37 through the electrically controlled liquid valves 23 on the first pipeline 24, the second pipeline 25 and the third pipeline 26. At the same time, the corrosive solution is recycled and reused after each test using the liquid storage tank 36 in the liquid circulation unit 5.
[0057] The real-time parameters of the environmental factors of the accelerated corrosion test are collected by the temperature sensor and the ion concentration sensor and then transmitted to the external data monitoring machine, and the solution environment in the detection mechanism 1 is controlled by the data monitoring machine.
[0058] A cylindrical sandstone specimen 45 was placed in a simulated seawater environment. The ambient temperature and ion concentration of the corrosive solution were adjusted. Under the accelerated corrosion effect of the counter-rotating detection mechanism 1, data was collected by the ion concentration sensor and imported into an external data monitoring device. Using the numerical relationship between the measured ion concentration after corrosion and time, a calibration relationship between the corrosion degree of the sandstone specimen 45 and the ion concentration before and after corrosion, as well as the corrosion time, was studied. The average of the ion concentrations monitored in real time at multiple points was used as a corrosion indicator to quantitatively characterize the degree of sandstone corrosion.
[0059] When conducting a point load test, a corrosion-resistant small point load tester 44 is installed on the sample 45 so that the loading head of the small point load tester 44 is always in contact with the same point on the surface of the sample 45. The sample 45 is subjected to a point load test. The hydraulic pipeline 48 is externally connected, and the electro-hydraulic servo-controlled loading system 47 is used to apply pressure outside the device to start the small point load tester 44 inside the device, load the target point load value, and keep the load at a constant value. A stress sensor is installed on the small point load tester 44 so that the real-time stress of the small point load tester 44 in the cylinder can be displayed on the data monitoring machine outside the detection mechanism 1. When the final point load stress value suddenly drops to zero, it indicates that the sample 45 is damaged. The duration and the applied damage load are recorded, and the relationship between the initial applied load and the durability time and the ion concentration of the corrosion solution is obtained by repeating the experiment (such as Figure 6 As shown in Figure 45, the relationship between the durability of sandstone sample 45 and ion concentration and corrosion time was calibrated.
[0060] This experimental device enables the specimen and the detection mechanism to rotate in opposite directions and control their rotation speed. This significantly increases the contact area per unit time between the specimen and the corrosive solution, accelerating ion diffusion and, therefore, the corrosion rate of the specimen, which helps shorten the response time of the durability test and further addresses the problem of long corrosion durability test cycles and insignificant short-term results. Simultaneously, fan blades with inclined cross sections are evenly mounted around the inner wall of the second inner cylinder. Driven by power, the fan blades rotate with the second inner cylinder, promoting the flow of corrosive solution within the second inner cylinder. The base is fixed to the inner shaft gear by a chiseled mechanism, and the specimen is directly mounted on a threaded post made of plastic, effectively preventing the specimen from repeated scratching and local damage. In addition, the numerical relationship between ion concentration and time measured by the ion concentration sensor can be used to calibrate the relationship between the corrosion degree of rock or concrete specimens and the ion concentration and corrosion time before and after corrosion. Other monitoring methods, such as a corrosion-resistant small point load tester, can also be installed on the specimen to monitor the entire dynamic erosion and damage process of the specimen in real time, enabling the simultaneous conduct of accelerated corrosion and point load testing. By converting the point load strength and uniaxial compression strength conversion formula, we can obtain the variation law of the uniaxial compression strength of the sample under different corrosive solutions with corrosion time and solution concentration, as well as the fatigue strength or fatigue life evolution law of the sample under different corrosion environments and load coupling, so as to carry out more in-depth research on the corrosion mechanical response of rock or concrete.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

11. A method for testing the durability of an experimental device simulating seawater accelerated corrosion of rock materials, comprising the experimental device according to claim 10, characterized in that: The durability testing method comprises the following steps: Step S1: while accelerating corrosion in the experimental device, a point load test is performed, and a stress sensor is installed on a small corrosion-resistant point load testing machine, and a temperature sensor and an ion concentration sensor are used to achieve simultaneous accelerated corrosion and point load testing and real-time monitoring; Step S2: Through a point load test, a fixed target load P is applied using a small point load tester under the monitoring of a stress sensor. The point load intensity of the small point load tester and the time from the onset of corrosion to sample failure in the corrosive solution are obtained, thereby studying the calibration relationship between sample durability, ion concentration, and corrosion time. Step S3: The point load strength and uniaxial compressive strength conversion formula is used to convert the sample uniaxial compressive strength under different corrosive solutions with the corrosion time and solution concentration, and the fatigue strength or fatigue life evolution of the sample under the coupling of different corrosion environments and loads is obtained.
12. The durability testing method according to claim 11, characterized in that: The specific steps of step S2 are to apply pressure to the loading system outside the device by using an external hydraulic pipeline, start the small point load tester inside the device, load the target point load value, and keep the load constant. The stress sensor on the small point load tester enables the data monitoring machine outside the detection mechanism to display the real-time stress of the small point load tester. When the final point load stress value suddenly drops to zero, it indicates that the sample is damaged. The duration and the applied damage load stress are recorded. By repeating the experiment continuously, the relationship between the initial applied load stress and the durability time and the ion concentration of the corrosion solution is obtained, thereby calibrating the relationship between the durability of the sample and the ion concentration and corrosion time.
