Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metal material performance analysis testing and experimental research, and relates to a creep-thermal fatigue interaction performance testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal parts expand and contract under the action of heating and cooling cycles, and thermal stress and thermal strain are generated under the external constraint of the holding part. For some large cross-section size parts, even without the constraint of the holding part, due to the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the part, the inner and outer expansion and contraction are inconsistent, and thermal stress and thermal strain are also generated. The thermal stress and thermal strain caused by such temperature cycles result in thermal fatigue damage of the part. The fatigue caused by temperature cycles with the constraint of the holding part or mechanical cyclic load is called thermal-mechanical fatigue. Most high-temperature parts in engineering (turbine rotor, large cast steel parts, drum, thick-walled header, etc.) are subjected to thermal-mechanical fatigue.

[0003] The iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy turbine rotor is a large-scale integral forging, which mainly bears thermal-mechanical fatigue during operation. At the same time, the rotor forging is subjected to creep damage at service temperature, and the damage mechanism is thermal-mechanical fatigue-creep interaction damage. With the acceleration of clean energy transformation, it is necessary to increase the consumption capacity of new energy such as wind and light at the transmission and distribution end and maintain the stability of the power grid. The flexibility of thermal power reconstruction increases the frequency of starting and stopping or large changes in load, which makes the rotor bear severe temperature changes and alternating thermal stress, promotes the interaction of thermal fatigue and creep, deteriorates the material properties, accelerates the damage of the material, and shortens the service life of the rotor forging. In the units participating in peak regulation operation, the performance damage caused by the interaction of thermal fatigue and creep in thick-walled parts (such as turbine rotors, large cast steel parts, drums, thick-walled headers, etc.) is increasingly prominent. The performance of the material under the combined action of creep and thermal fatigue depends not only on the creep performance or fatigue performance of the material, but also on the interaction between creep and thermal fatigue. The damage caused by the interaction of creep and thermal fatigue will become an important factor limiting the safe service life of such equipment.

[0004] At present, the failure research of thick-walled components in thermal power units mainly focuses on the creep-fatigue interaction, and the existing test devices are all creep-fatigue testing machines, that is, the thermal fatigue state in service is simulated through high-temperature low-cycle fatigue test conditions. The thermal fatigue is similar to the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue in that the cycle frequency is very low, but the damage mechanism of the thermal fatigue is much more complex than that of the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue, and the thermal fatigue is more likely to cause local cumulative plastic deformation at the position with the highest temperature and the greatest restraint than the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue, so under the condition of the same macroscopic plastic deformation, the thermal fatigue life is obviously lower than the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue. At present, the existing test devices are basically low-cycle fatigue testing machines under high-temperature mechanical stress or independent creep testing machines, and it is difficult to truly simulate the actual damage mechanism of large cross-section thick-walled components such as steam turbine rotor, high-pressure inner cylinder, automatic main steam valve, and boiler drum and steam-water separator. As for the creep and thermal fatigue interaction, the problem under multi-dimensional stress state, there is no relevant creep-thermal fatigue test device that can directly test and obtain relevant data.
