In these environments, stainless steel is prone to sensitization effect, resulting in decreased corrosion resistance.

[0003] In engineering, the sensitization degree caused by corresponding temperature and time can be calculated by means of the sensitization model, so as to reduce the loss caused by corrosion due to sensitization of stainless steel. Therefore, the accuracy of the sensitization model greatly affects the estimated sensitization degree, and determining the accuracy of the sensitization model has great significance for the estimation of the sensitization degree.

[0004] However, it is difficult to predict the holding time of each position of the stainless steel component, and when the entity component is heated and data is collected to verify the sensitization model, the residence time in the sensitization temperature interval is difficult to predict due to the long holding time, so that the accuracy of the sensitization model cannot be verified.

[0038] The application provides a stainless steel transient sensitization model verification method based on numerical simulation, a flow of which is as shown in Figure 1 The application provides a stainless steel transient sensitization model verification method based on numerical simulation, a flow of which is as shown in

[0039] S1, determining the heat treatment requirement of the stainless steel component, and creating a heat treatment virtual model. Here, the embodiment creates a heat treatment virtual model of the same size for subsequent simulation through 3D modeling according to the actual size of the stainless steel component required for simulation. In an embodiment of the application, the shape of the heat treatment virtual model is as shown in Figure 2

[0040] S2, meshing the heat treatment virtual model, and defining the physical performance parameters and numerical simulation parameters of the heat treatment virtual model.

[0041] In certain preferred embodiments of the application, in step S2, the physical performance parameters are determined according to the actual material parameters used in production, and specifically include:

[0042] The specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, linear expansion coefficient, elastic modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio and yield limit of the heat treatment virtual model.

[0043] In addition, in step S2, the numerical simulation parameters specifically include:

[0044] The surface heat dissipation boundary condition, heat treatment working condition calculation total time, structure convergence setting, displacement convergence value and simulation saving step length of the heat treatment virtual model.

[0045] Since there is heat dissipation on the surface, the surface heat dissipation boundary condition needs to be set. Heat loss mainly includes radiation and convection between the workpiece surface and the surrounding environment, and is mainly in the form of radiation loss; the higher the temperature, the stronger the radiation effect, and generally in the region with a temperature greater than 1200℃, the radiation loss is greater than the convection heat loss, while below 1200℃, the convection heat dissipation is dominant.

[0046] The ambient temperature in the surface heat dissipation condition is set to 20℃, and the air convection heat transfer coefficient is set to 0.02.

[0047] The heat treatment working condition calculation total time is set to 190800s, the structure convergence setting is set to displacement criterion, the displacement convergence value is set to 0.1mm, the thermodynamic numerical simulation analysis step length is 120, that is, 1950s per step; the simulation saving step length is set to 10 steps, and the calculation result is saved every 10 steps.

[0048] The heat dissipation working condition calculation total time is 10000s, which is set to temperature self-adaption, the structure convergence setting is set to displacement criterion, and the displacement convergence value is 0.1mm.

[0049] ​S3, according to the physical performance parameters and the numerical simulation parameters, performing numerical simulation on the heat treatment virtual model, and obtaining the temperature change curve of the surface of the heat treatment virtual model. In the heat treatment process, the temperature of each point on the surface of the heat treatment virtual model is collected according to the grid division time, so as to generate the temperature change curve of each point on the surface of the heat treatment virtual model according to the data of each point temperature at each time in the whole heat treatment process.

[0050] S4, setting a plurality of verification points on the heat treatment virtual model, and obtaining the temperature change curve of the verification points according to the temperature change curve of the surface of the heat treatment virtual model. Calling the temperature change curve of each point simulated in step S3, selecting N verification points, and extracting the temperature change curve at the verification points, so as to obtain N groups of simulated temperature fields and temperature change curves.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the selection of two verification points A and B is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0052] The selection of the verification points is the points on the surface of the heat treatment virtual model which are in the temperature range of 400-850 DEG C for more than a preset time length. The points in the temperature range of 400-850 DEG C have a higher sensitization trend, and therefore it is easier to obtain results by comparing with the transient sensitization model.

[0053] S5, substituting the temperature change curves of the verification points into the transient sensitization model to calculate the simulated sensitization degree of each verification point. Substituting the temperature change curve of each verification point in step S4 into the transient sensitization model respectively, and using the transient sensitization model to calculate, so as to obtain the simulated sensitization degree of N verification points.

[0054] Figure 4 、 Figure 5 The temperature change curves of the two verification points A and B selected are Figure 3 , the fitting expression of the heating temperature T and the heating time t in the curve is substituted into the function of the transient sensitization model, the integral function of the sensitization degree is formed, and the simulated sensitization degree of the two verification points can be calculated respectively, wherein x Cr is the chromium content near the grain boundary, that is, the sensitization degree. When the chromium content is below the corrosion resistance limit, the corrosion resistance of the material will be affected.

[0055] S6, setting a sample corresponding to each verification point, and simulating the temperature change curve corresponding to the verification point to heat treat each sample respectively.

[0056] In step S6, a 10mm x 10mm x 5mm cubic sample is used to perform a real heat treatment experiment.

[0057] S7, after the heat treatment of the sample in step S6, the actual sensitization degree of each sample is detected.

[0058] The grain boundaries of the sample are observed by scanning electron microscopy, and as shown in FIG. 4, line scanning analysis is performed by an energy dispersive spectrometer in the direction perpendicular to the grain boundary to obtain the chromium content near the grain boundary of the sample. Figure 6

[0059] S8, the accuracy of the transient sensitization model is determined according to the simulated sensitization degree of each verification point obtained in step S5 and the actual sensitization degree of the corresponding sample. If the calculated sensitization degree is higher than 20% of the actual sensitization degree and not lower than the actual sensitization degree, it indicates that the transient sensitization model has practical guiding significance in engineering; if the calculated sensitization degree is lower than the actual sensitization degree, the transient sensitization model is not accurate enough, and there may still be a situation of judging non-sensitization but sensitization corrosion in engineering, and the function of the transient sensitization model still needs to be adjusted.

[0060] The above-described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, and cannot limit the scope of the present disclosure. That is, any equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the present disclosure.
