Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and in particular to a method for determining hydrogen charging parameters of high-strength bolts based on multi-objective optimization of finite elements. Background Art
[0002] Despite the increasing popularity of high-strength bolts in marine environments, existing technologies for addressing hydrogen embrittlement in bolts have limitations. Due to the unique characteristics of the marine environment, such as direct contact with seawater and complex electrochemical reactions, high-strength bolts are susceptible to hydrogen absorption during use. This hydrogen absorption not only reduces the fatigue strength of the bolts but also accelerates the growth of fatigue cracks, severely impacting their performance and reliability.
[0003] The present invention targets three typical high-strength bolts: cylinder bolts (M42), blade root bolts (M56), and shaft flange bolts (M60). These bolts are typically installed with a specific tightening torque and employ various measures to enhance their sealing and corrosion resistance, such as sealant on the bolt end faces, sealing rings at the chamfers, and molybdenum disulfide powder treatment on the threads. While these treatments can alleviate hydrogen embrittlement to a certain extent, the risk of hydrogen-induced failure remains significant under the dual conditions of high-pressure oil environments (e.g., 0.3 MPa) and direct seawater contact.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the application background of high-strength bolts in marine environments, the present invention aims to propose an effective method for determining hydrogen charging parameters to improve the performance and safety of these critical fasteners. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the distribution of the electrolyte current density vector at the bolt interface after the optimization of the hydrogen charging process.
[0048] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the total interfacial current density on the bolt surface after the optimization of the hydrogen charging process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.
[0050] In this method, a 3D model of a high-strength bolt is first created using CAD software. This model is then imported into finite element analysis software for meshing. In SolidWorks, the bolt's geometry (including diameter, length, thread shape, and dimensions) and material physical properties (such as density, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio) are first defined. These parameters are crucial for subsequent finite element analysis.
[0051] After the model is created, meshing is performed, a key step in finite element analysis. Meshing divides the 3D model into multiple small elements, each representing an independent physical entity whose internal physical processes are described by differential equations. In SolidWorks, automatic meshing tools are used to generate a high-quality mesh and define the boundary and initial conditions of the bolts, including fixed boundaries, hydrogen charging boundaries (i.e., hydrogen concentration limits), initial temperature, and stress state.
[0052] After the finite element model is established and meshed, the model is solved using COMSOL software. COMSOL is a multi-physics simulation software suitable for handling complex physics and engineering problems. First, the bolt model and mesh created in SolidWorks are imported into COMSOL, and the physics field and solver are set. In the present invention, the diffusion physics field is set to simulate the hydrogen charging process of the bolt, where the diffusion coefficient and concentration of hydrogen are key parameters.
[0053] COMSOL is used to perform iterative calculations until a solution that satisfies all equations and boundary conditions is found. After the solution is completed, the post-processing tool of COMSOL is used to analyze the results. In order to achieve subsequent multi-objective optimization, the COMSOL model and results are exported to MATLAB. Using the LiveLink function of COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB, the model can be easily modified and the data processed in MATLAB to optimize the hydrogen charging parameters. The above-mentioned software and the operating methods of the software are common knowledge in the field and will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0069]
[0070] Among them, I t is the current value at a certain time t calculated by the hydrogen permeation model.
[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogen binding energy is determined by the following formula:

[0159] Step 5: Based on the experimental results, if the difference between the actual hydrogen charge amount and the expected hydrogen charge amount is within 5% of the actual hydrogen charge concentration, then record the hydrogen charge test parameters at this time as the final actual hydrogen charge test parameters. If the difference between the actual hydrogen charge amount and the expected hydrogen charge amount is greater than 5% of the actual hydrogen charge concentration, then adjust the hydrogen charge parameters to perform parameter fine-tuning tests and continue to optimize the hydrogen charge parameters.

[0206] (a) Sample preparation: Ensure that the bolt sample is clean after hydrogen filling to avoid external contamination affecting the measurement results.
[0207] (b) Melting process: Place the sample under a power of 50W to 100W and keep it in a molten state for 3 minutes. During this process, hydrogen in the sample will be released, preparing for the subsequent hydrogen content determination.
[0208] (c) Hydrogen Content Determination: According to GB / T 223.82-2018, hydrogen content determination must be performed immediately under inert gas after sample melting to prevent atmospheric hydrogen from affecting the measurement results. The hydrogen content in the sample is measured using the melting-thermal conductivity method, and the determination process must strictly follow relevant regulations and procedures.
[0209] (d) Data Recording: Record the hydrogen content measurement results in μg / g. All experimental data and results must be properly stored for subsequent analysis and reporting.
[0210] Example 5
[0211] The difference between the actual hydrogen charge amount and the expected hydrogen charge amount of the present invention is calculated according to the following formula:
[0212] ΔP=|P A -P E |
[0213] Among them, ΔP is the difference between the actual hydrogen charging amount and the expected hydrogen charging amount, P Ais the actual hydrogen charge, P E is the expected hydrogen charge;
[0214] Calculate the new hydrogen charging time according to the following formula:
[0215] T N =T O *(1+ΔP / P E )
[0216] Among them, T N is the new hydrogen filling time, T O is the original hydrogen charging time;
[0217] Calculate the new current density according to the following formula:
[0218] I N =I O *(1+ΔP / P E )
[0219] Among them, I N is the new current density, I O is the original current density.
[0220] Example 6
[0221] The hydrogen charging time and current density in step 2 of the present invention (i.e., the initial values of the hydrogen charging time and current density) are determined by the following method:
[0222] Step a: Select a set of initial hydrogen charging parameters T0 and I0, and calculate the values of objective functions f1(T0, I0) and f2(T0, I0);
[0223] Step b: Randomly select a new set of charging parameters T′ and I′ in the neighborhood of the current solution and calculate the values of the objective functions f1(T′, I′) and f2(T′, I′);
[0224] Step c: If the new solution is better than the current solution in at least one objective function and is not worse than the current solution in all objective functions, then update T0 and I0 to T′ and I′; otherwise, T0 and I0 remain unchanged;
[0225] Step d: If the preset termination condition is met, the iteration is stopped and the current solution T0 and I0 are output; otherwise, the process returns to step b and the iterative search continues. After determining the optimal solution hydrogen charging time and current density based on the iterative method, the expected hydrogen charging amount P_expected can be calculated based on the optimal solution hydrogen charging time and current density. In addition, in the present invention, the range of values for hydrogen charging time and current density is specified as follows:
[0226] Hydrogen filling time: T∈[T min ,Tmax ]
[0227] Current density: I∈[I min ,I max ]
[0228] Among them, T min ,T max ,I min and I max These are the minimum and maximum values of these parameters. Refer to relevant literature and they can be set to 0h, 120h, 0mA / cm 2 , 100mA / cm 2 .
[0229] In a preferred embodiment, the preset termination condition includes the number of iterations reaching a preset maximum value, or the value of the objective function not significantly improving in a certain number of iterations. In a specific example, the lack of significant improvement in a certain number of iterations can be defined as the improvement in the value of the objective function being less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, or other suitable percentage values in 5, 10, 15, 20, or more iterations.
