[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Since the 20th century, scholars at home and abroad have proposed many constitutive models to predict the creep-fatigue life of high-temperature equipment materials. With the development of fatigue theory and fracture mechanics and the failure analysis of high-temperature equipment, people have gradually discovered that its damage mechanism not only has independent creep damage and fatigue damage, but also has an interactive damage mechanism of fatigue and creep. The high-temperature fatigue damage mechanism is not only related to time-independent plastic deformation, but also to time-dependent creep and oxidation. The complex creep-fatigue load conditions pose a severe challenge to the life prediction of high-temperature equipment materials. At present, according to the theoretical system, the creep-fatigue life prediction models of high-temperature components are mainly divided into three categories, namely creep-fatigue life prediction methods based on the Manson-Coffin equation, based on the differentiation method, and based on the linear damage accumulation criterion. The life prediction model based on the Manson-Coffin equation is mainly represented by the frequency separation model proposed by Coffin. It considers the cyclic frequencies of tension and compression separately for the first time, making the model more adaptable to different creep fatigue loading conditions. However, this model ignores the stress welding effect of compression loading and the average stress effect during asymmetric loading. The main representative of the life prediction model based on the differentiation method is the strain range differentiation method. This method believes that creep-fatigue failure is caused by the inelastic strain of the material. By distinguishing four inelastic strain range components with different properties, the Manson-Coffin equation is used to calculate the damage corresponding to the components with different properties, and the creep-fatigue life is obtained by superposition according to specific criteria. However, this method has defects and limitations in predicting creep-fatigue life in low strain control range and long life. In the theoretical system of linear damage accumulation criterion, the creep-fatigue life prediction model considering anelastic recovery based on the strain energy density dissipation method is widely adopted due to its clear physical meaning, strong operability, few parameters and simple acquisition. However, it does not consider the influence of the difference in the initial anelastic recovery rate of high-temperature equipment materials under cyclic softening / hardening in different strain ranges, and approximates the creep damage per half-life cycle to the creep damage per week, making the life prediction results too conservative.

[0036] The purpose of this application is to provide a method and system for determining the critical inelastic strain rate in the creep-fatigue damage process, which can more accurately predict the creep-fatigue life of high-temperature equipment materials.

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for determining the critical inelastic strain rate in the creep-fatigue damage process, including:

[0040] Step 101: Obtain a number of identical high-temperature equipment materials;

[0041] Step 102: Based on the same temperature conditions, creep test, fatigue test and creep-fatigue interaction test are respectively performed on the high-temperature equipment material to obtain creep test results, fatigue test results and creep-fatigue interaction test results;

[0042] Step 103: establishing a stress relaxation formula based on the creep test results; the stress relaxation formula is used to calculate the critical stress after the strain maintains the initial corrected critical inelastic strain rate;

[0043] Step 104: establishing a failure inelastic strain energy density fitting equation based on the fatigue test results; the failure inelastic strain energy density fitting equation is used to calculate the corrected inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate and the creep damage under cycle-by-cycle conditions;

[0044] Step 105: establishing a net tensile hysteresis energy fatigue damage equation based on the creep-fatigue interaction test results; the net tensile hysteresis energy fatigue damage equation is used to calculate cycle-by-cycle fatigue damage;

[0045] Step 106: Determine the creep-fatigue life of the high-temperature equipment material under creep-fatigue interaction according to the linear cumulative damage law, based on the stress relaxation formula, the failure inelastic strain energy density fitting equation, and the net tensile hysteresis energy fatigue damage equation.

[0046] In some embodiments, when executing step 101, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0047] Among the obtained several identical high-temperature equipment materials, the high-temperature equipment materials may be P92 martensitic steel material, GH4169 nickel-based alloy material, 304SS stainless steel material, Crofer 22APU stainless steel material and Inconel625Inconel625 diffusion welding joint.

[0048] In some embodiments, when executing step 102, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0049] Under the same temperature conditions, creep test, fatigue test and creep-fatigue interaction test of high temperature equipment materials are carried out respectively. The implementation methods of creep test, fatigue test and creep-fatigue interaction test are not described in detail here. Figure 2 An actual loading condition is shown, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, the loading amplitude and loading rate are the same for the fatigue test and the creep-fatigue interaction test.

[0050] In some embodiments, when executing step 103, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0051] Based on the creep test results, a stress relaxation formula was established. This stress relaxation formula describes the functional relationship between the stress of high-temperature equipment materials under maximum tensile load and time, and its relationship is as follows:

[0052] σ(t)=σ0-(A·lgΔε pp +B)·lg(1+t) (1).

[0053] Where σ0 represents the instantaneous (maximum) stress at the maximum tensile strain under half-life cycles, Δε pp represents the plastic strain range, t represents the half-maximum tensile holding time, and A and B are the parameters for fitting the Jeong stress relaxation formula.

[0054] For example, Figure 3 The stress relaxation test fitting curve of Crofer22APU stainless steel material in 750℃ high temperature equipment is shown. The fitting curve is obtained by fitting the stress relaxation curve parameters of the half-life cycle strain holding stage. During the fitting, the constant A is set to 0.031, the constant B is set to 2.755, and the strain condition is set to 0.5%. Figure 3 It can be seen that the stress decreases continuously with the increase of time.

[0055] Specifically, the critical stress after the strain maintains the initial corrected critical inelastic strain rate is calculated. The specific process is as follows:

[0056] 1) According to the stress relaxation formula, calculate the critical inelastic strain rate of the material within the maximum tensile load. First, differentiate equation (1) to calculate the stress relaxation rate. The formula is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Where, represents the inelastic strain rate; represents the derivative of formula (1); E represents the elastic modulus of the material at the creep-fatigue test temperature.

[0059] Based on the effective creep damage theory during stress relaxation, the critical inelastic strain rate is determined by the stress relaxation rate curve calculated by formula (2), which is then substituted into formula (1) to obtain the corrected critical strain rate, as follows:

[0060]

[0061] α=(aΔεp+b)(4).

[0062] Where, represents the critical inelastic strain rate, Indicates the maximum inelastic strain rate at the initial stage of stress relaxation, Δε p is the strain control range, α, a and b are material parameters that are independent of the cycle number, and the specific calculation method is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0063] For example, Figure 4 Among them, 0.65%, 0.75%, and 0.85% are creep-fatigue test strain conditions, t Xre is the time taken by the high-temperature equipment material to reach the critical inelastic strain rate during the strain holding period, and (0,1.4-4) is the maximum inelastic strain rate corresponding to zero holding time. (t Xre ,1.4-5) is the critical inelastic strain rate corresponding to creep damage in the anelastic recovery stage At this time, the hysteresis elastic recovery period under different strain conditions Decrease one order of magnitude to The required parameter α is different, according to the three different strain conditions Δε p The sum of α can be calculated by formula (4), a is set to -0.33, b is set to 0.35, and α and α under other strain conditions are calculated by formula (4). value. Figure 4 It can be seen that the critical inelastic strain rate in the anelastic recovery stage of the cyclic softening material varies with the strain condition.

[0064] 2) Calculate the time it takes for the high-temperature equipment material to reach the critical inelastic strain rate during the strain holding period using formula (5): express:

[0065]

[0066] 3) The stress relaxation formula of formula (1) is modified. The modified stress relaxation formula σ Xnew (t) means:

[0067] σ Xnew (t) = σ0-(A·lgΔε pp +B)·lg(1+t+t Xre ) (6).

[0068] 4) The t calculated by formula (5) Xre Substituting into equation (1) we can obtain the modified critical stress σ considering the material anelastic recovery: Xre , expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] In some embodiments, when executing step 104, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0071] According to the results of creep test, the failure inelastic strain energy density fitting equation is established. This equation reflects the failure inelastic strain energy density w of high temperature equipment materials in double logarithmic coordinates. f and inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate The functional relationship between them is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] in, represents, T represents temperature, n1 and are temperature and material related model parameters, respectively.

[0074] Specifically, the failure inelastic strain energy density w f and inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate The calculation formulas are as follows:

[0075] w f =σ·ln(1+ε f )(9).

[0076]

[0077] Specifically, the corrected inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate is calculated. The specific process is as follows:

[0078] According to the hysteresis loop under half-life cycles, the inelastic strain energy density w after correction considering creep-fatigue anelastic recovery is calculated. in,Xnew , the calculation formula is:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, σ m It represents the average stress of the material under half life cycles.

[0081] By taking the derivative of Equation (11), we can obtain the corrected inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate w: in,Xnew , the formula for the modified inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate is:

[0082]

[0083] in, It is the stress relaxation rate of high temperature equipment materials corrected cycle by cycle under maximum tensile load. The calculation formula is:

[0084]

[0085] Substituting equations (7) and (13) into equation (12), we obtain:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, M and N are intermediate variables defined for the convenience of writing formula (14), which are as follows:

[0088]

[0089] The steps for calculating creep damage cycle by cycle are as follows:

[0090] First, a creep test is performed to determine whether there is a critical failure inelastic strain energy density, and then different equations are used to calculate creep damage based on the determination results. The specific steps are:

[0091] When there is no critical failure strain energy density w in the creep test f0 When , the creep damage of each cycle is calculated by formula (17);

[0092]

[0093] in, represents the cycle-by-cycle creep damage when there is no critical failure inelastic strain energy density; t h Indicates the maximum strain holding time;

[0094] In the fitting of the parameters of equation (8), if w f The value of increases with the increase of , indicating that the w of the material at this temperature f There is no upper plateau value, that is, there is no critical failure strain energy density w f0 .For example, Figure 5 For the case where there is no critical failure inelastic strain energy density, it is not difficult to find that the failure inelastic strain energy density w based on creep test is f and inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate Is positively correlated.

[0095] Substituting equations (8) and (14) into equation (17), we can obtain the strain energy density w that does not exist in the creep test. f0 Creep damage

[0096]

[0097] When there is a critical failure strain energy density w in the creep test f0 When , the creep damage under cycle-by-cycle conditions is calculated by formula (20):

[0098]

[0099] in, Represents the cycle-by-cycle creep damage in the presence of a critical failure inelastic strain energy density.

[0100] In the process of fitting the parameters of formula (8), if w f The first becomes larger with the increase of After exceeding a certain value, w f The value remains unchanged, indicating that the w of the material at this temperature f There is an upper plateau value, that is, there is a critical failure inelastic strain energy density w f0 .For example, Figure 6 For the case of critical failure inelastic strain energy density, it is not difficult to find that the failure inelastic strain energy density w based on creep test is f First, the inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate becomes larger with the increase of When it continues to increase beyond a certain value, w f The value remains unchanged.

[0101] Substituting equations (8) and (14) into equation (19), we can obtain the critical failure strain energy density w in the creep test: f0 Creep damage

[0102]

[0103] in, represents the cumulative creep damage of the first i cycles, represents the creep damage of the jth cycle. min(·) is the minimum value. It represents the minimum failure strain energy density of the material. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0104]

[0105] In some embodiments, when executing step 105, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0106] The half-life net tensile hysteresis of high-temperature equipment materials obtained through fatigue testing can be fitted with parameters a2 and b2, and the cycle-by-cycle fatigue damage formula is established as follows:

[0107]

[0108] in, is the superimposed fatigue damage superimposed to the i-th cycle, is the fatigue damage of the jth week, is the peak stress of the jth week, is the plastic strain range of the jth cycle, and a2 and b2 are material parameters that are independent of the cycle number.

[0109] For example, Figure 7 The fitting curve of the half-life net tensile hysteresis energy of the pure fatigue test of the 750℃ high-temperature equipment Crofer22APU is shown. The fatigue test uses three different strain control ranges of ±1%, ±0.5% and ±0.25%. The fitting curve is obtained by fitting the parameters of the fatigue test half-life cycle curve, with the constant a2 set to 87.67 and the constant b2 set to -0.92.

[0110] In some embodiments, when executing step 106, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0111] According to the linear cumulative damage law, based on the stress relaxation formula, the failure inelastic strain energy density fitting equation and the net tensile hysteresis energy fatigue damage equation, the creep-fatigue life of high-temperature equipment materials under creep-fatigue interaction is determined, and the creep-fatigue life equation is used in different situations;

[0112] When there is no critical failure strain energy density, the creep-fatigue life can be calculated as follows:

[0113]

[0114] According to the failure criterion, when The i value at this time is the creep-fatigue life prediction value under the corresponding working condition.

[0115] When there is a critical failure strain energy density, the creep-fatigue life can be calculated as follows:

[0116]

[0117] According to the failure criterion, when The i value at this time is the creep-fatigue life prediction value under the corresponding working condition.

[0118] In some embodiments, the present application performs life prediction under creep-fatigue interaction for P92 martensitic steel, GH4169 nickel-based alloy, 304SS stainless steel, Crofer 22APU stainless steel, and Inconel 625 diffusion welded joints, as follows:

[0119] Example 1: Life prediction of martensitic steel material (P92) under creep-fatigue interaction in 630℃ high temperature equipment.

[0120] Because only the life of martensitic steel at 630℃ is studied, the constant The relationship between the failure inelastic strain energy density and the inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate at 630℃ was studied, and it was found that there is a critical failure inelastic strain energy density w f0 =52; In the creep-fatigue test at 630℃, the constants A=-0.69 and B=10.95 depending on the material characteristics were calculated by controlling the strain range of ±0.2% and ±0.3%, and the stress relaxation curve was established, namely formula (1); combined with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine, the formulas (2), (3), (4), and (5) were used to calculate According to literature research, the elastic modulus of this material at 630°C is E = 94 GPa. All material constants required for the creep-fatigue life prediction model of P92 material at 630°C are obtained.

[0121] This application calculates the fatigue damage per week in a certain total strain range according to formula (22). Due to the existence of critical failure strain energy density, the creep damage per week is calculated by formula (20) in combination with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine. Finally, the linear cumulative damage law is used to calculate the predicted life under different total strain ranges and holding times through formula (24). It is compared with the actual experimental results. The results are as follows: Figure 8 shown.

[0122] Depend on Figure 8 The results show that all predicted lifespans calculated by this application are not only within a 1.5-fold error band, but also significantly closer to the experimental results. It is readily apparent that compared to existing creep-fatigue life prediction models, this application significantly improves its lifespan prediction capabilities. This demonstrates that the method presented in this application for determining the critical inelastic strain rate during creep-fatigue damage can better predict the creep-fatigue life of P92 at 630°C.

[0123] Example 2: Life prediction of GH4169 nickel-based alloy material under creep-fatigue interaction in 650℃ high-temperature equipment.

[0124] Since only the lifetime of GH4169 at 650℃ is studied, the constant is obtained by using formula (8). The relationship between the failure inelastic strain energy density and the inelastic strain energy density dissipation rate at 650℃ was studied, and it was found that there is a critical failure inelastic strain energy density w f0 =46; In the creep-fatigue test at 650℃, the constants A=13.3 and B=17.4 depending on the material characteristics were calculated by controlling the strain ranges of ±1.0%, ±1.2%, ±1.6%, and ±2.0%, and the stress relaxation curve was established, namely formula (1); combined with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine, formulas (2), (3), (4), and (5) were used to calculate According to literature research, the elastic modulus of this material at 650°C is E = 171 GPa. All material constants required for the creep-fatigue life prediction model of GH4169 material at 650°C are obtained.

[0125] This application calculates the fatigue damage per week in a certain total strain range according to formula (22). Due to the existence of critical failure strain energy density, the creep damage per week is calculated by formula (20) in combination with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine. Finally, the linear cumulative damage law is used to calculate the predicted life under different total strain ranges and holding times through formula (24). It is compared with the actual experimental results. The results are as follows: Figure 9 shown.

[0126] Depend on Figure 9 The results show that all the predicted lifespans calculated by this application are not only within the 1.5-fold error band, but the experimental results are also closer to the predicted results, while the existing model prediction results are only around the 1.5-fold error band. Therefore, compared with the existing creep-fatigue life prediction model, the life prediction capability of this application is greatly improved. It is not difficult to find that the method of determining the critical inelastic strain rate in the creep-fatigue damage process shown in this application can better predict the creep-fatigue life of GH4169 at 650°C.

[0127] Example 3: Life prediction of 304SS stainless steel under creep-fatigue interaction in 650℃ high temperature equipment.

[0128] Since only the life of 304SS at 650℃ is studied, the constant is obtained by using formula (8). The relationship between the inelastic strain energy density at failure and the dissipation rate of the inelastic strain energy density at 650℃ was studied, and it was found that there was no critical inelastic strain energy density at failure. In the creep-fatigue test at 650℃, the constants A=45.55 and B=129.19 depending on the material characteristics were calculated by controlling the strain ranges of ±0.5% and ±2.0%, and the stress relaxation curve was established, namely formula (1). Combined with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine, formulas (2), (3), (4), and (5) were used to calculate According to literature research, the elastic modulus of this material at 650°C is E = 193 GPa. All material constants required for the creep-fatigue life prediction model of 304SS material at 650°C are obtained.

[0129] This application calculates the fatigue damage per week in a certain total strain range according to formula (22). Due to the existence of critical failure strain energy density, the creep damage per week is calculated by formula (18) in combination with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine. Finally, the linear cumulative damage law is used to calculate the predicted life under different total strain ranges and holding times through formula (23). It is compared with the actual experimental results. The results are as follows: Figure 10 shown.

[0130] Depend on Figure 10 The results show that all predicted lifespans calculated by this application are not only within a 1.5-fold error band, but also much closer to the experimental results, while existing models only predict results within a 1.5-fold error band. Therefore, compared to existing creep-fatigue life prediction models, this application significantly improves its lifespan prediction capabilities.

The relationship between the inelastic strain energy density at failure and the dissipation rate of the inelastic strain energy density at 750℃ was studied, and it was found that there was no critical inelastic strain energy density at failure. In the creep-fatigue test at 750℃, the constants A=0.031 and B=2.77 depending on the material characteristics were calculated by controlling the strain range of ±0.25% and ±0.5%, and the stress relaxation curve was established, namely formula (1). Combined with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine, formulas (2), (3), (4), and (5) were used to calculate The elastic modulus of the material tested at 750°C is E=0.239 GPa. All material constants required for the creep-fatigue life prediction model of Crofer22APU material at 750°C are obtained.

Due to the existence of critical failure strain energy density, the creep damage per week is calculated by formula (18) in combination with Crofer22APU finite element simulation and subroutine. Finally, the linear cumulative damage law is used to calculate the predicted life under different total strain ranges and holding times by formula (23). It is compared with the actual experimental results. The results are as follows: Figure 11 shown.

[0134] Depend on Figure 11 The results show that all predicted lifespans calculated by this application are not only within a 1.5-fold error band, but also much closer to the experimental results, while existing models only predict results within a 1.5-fold error band. Therefore, compared to existing creep-fatigue life prediction models, this application significantly improves its lifespan prediction capabilities. It is not difficult to find that the method for determining the critical inelastic strain rate during creep-fatigue damage, as demonstrated in this application, can better predict the creep-fatigue life of Crofer22APU at 750°C.

[0135] Example 5: Life prediction of Inconel625 diffusion welded joint under creep-fatigue interaction in 650℃ high temperature equipment.

[0136] Since only the life of Inconel625 diffusion welded joints at 650℃ is studied, the constant is obtained by using formula (8). The relationship between the inelastic strain energy density at failure and the dissipation rate of the inelastic strain energy density at 650℃ was studied, and it was found that there was no critical inelastic strain energy density at failure. In the creep-fatigue test at 650℃, the constants A=6.08 and B=19.5 depending on the material characteristics were calculated by controlling the strain range of ±0.25% and ±0.3%, and the stress relaxation curve was established, namely formula (1). Combined with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine, formulas (2), (3), (4), and (5) were used to calculate According to literature research, the elastic modulus of the material at 650°C is E = 179417 GPa. All material constants required for the creep-fatigue life prediction model of Inconel 625 diffusion welded joints at 650°C were obtained.

[0137] This application calculates the fatigue damage per week in a certain total strain range according to formula (22). Due to the existence of critical failure strain energy density, the creep damage per week is calculated by formula (18) in combination with ABAQUS finite element simulation and subroutine. Finally, the linear cumulative damage law is used to calculate the predicted life under different total strain ranges and holding times through formula (23). It is compared with the actual experimental results. The results are as follows: Figure 12 shown.

[0138] Depend on Figure 12It can be seen from the results that all the predicted lifespans calculated by this application are not only within the 1.5 times error band, but also the experimental results are closer to the predicted results, while the existing model prediction results are only around the 1.5 times error band. Therefore, compared with the current creep-fatigue life prediction model, the life prediction ability of this application is improved, especially the life prediction ability under different loading conditions of cyclic softening / hardening materials is greatly improved. It can be seen that a method for determining the critical inelastic strain rate in the creep-fatigue damage process shown in this application can well predict the creep-fatigue life of Inconel625 at 650°C.
