[0002] The automotive exhaust system is subjected to high-temperature gases discharged from the engine, and its structural thermal fatigue is a key performance that the industry focuses on. On the other hand, in many high-temperature application fields, metal materials are prone to corrosion failure, especially in coastal areas where there are a variety of mineral salts in the water environment. The overlap of thermal fatigue of metal materials and high-temperature corrosion effects often further aggravates the process of product failure and loss.

[0003] At present, the devices used in the market for testing the corrosion performance of metal materials mainly include salt spray test equipment, which does not fully meet the actual high-temperature environment. There are no reports on the application of verification methods for the two failure modes of high-temperature corrosion and thermal fatigue in this technical field.

[0004] Therefore, in view of some shortcomings of the existing salt spray test and fatigue test, combined with the actual working environment, a high-temperature corrosion and thermal fatigue composite test method is studied and developed. This method needs to have technical advantages such as being suitable for the actual environment, flexible working condition settings, and low test cost. Summary of the invention

Under high temperature conditions, the salt particles have a strong corrosive effect on the surface of the metal material sample, and during the high-temperature corrosion of the sample, the force sensor is used to monitor the force signal of the sample in real time. By recording the maximum force of each cycle cooling process and transmitting the signal to the controller, the controller can determine the test progress according to the force value. The whole process takes into account the multiple influencing factors of high temperature, corrosion, and thermal fatigue at the same time, which is more in line with the actual working environment of the sample.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "inside, outside", "up, down", "left, right", etc. are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, a high temperature corrosion and thermal fatigue composite testing device includes a base plate 1, on which a column 6, a first support block 2, a second support block 19, a baffle 22 and a liquid accumulation box 21 are arranged, and also includes a temperature sensor 20 and a controller 17. The first support block 2 cooperates with the first pressing block 3 to fix one end of the sample 5, and the other end of the sample 5 is limited by the second pressing block 13. The second pressing block 13 is connected to the force sensor 15 through the ceramic block 14, and the force sensor 15 is arranged on the baffle 22; The middle part of the sample 5 has a concave portion 51, the liquid collection box 21 is located directly below the concave portion 51, and a container 8 is provided above the concave portion 51. The container 8 contains a saline solution 9, and the composition of the saline solution 9 is prepared according to the requirements of the corrosive environment. A flow guide tube 10 is provided at the bottom of the container 8, and an adjusting knob 11 for adjusting the flow rate of the saline solution 9 is provided on the flow guide tube 10; The first pressing block 3 is connected to the first wire 4, the second pressing block 13 is connected to the second wire 12, the first wire 4, the first pressing block 3, the sample 5, the second pressing block 13, the second wire 12 and the power supply 16 are connected to form an energized heating circuit to achieve heating treatment of the sample 5; The temperature sensor 20 is used to monitor the temperature of the sample 5 in real time and transmit the temperature signal to the controller 17. The controller 17 is electrically connected to the power supply 16 and controls the heating power of the power supply 16 according to the temperature signal of the temperature sensor 20.

[0024] It is understandable that the sample 5 is made of metal material, and the first pressing block 3 and the second pressing block 13 are both made of conductive material, so that when power is turned on, it can be ensured that a power circuit is formed with the power supply to achieve simulation of high-temperature corrosion of the sample 5.

[0025] The end of the sample 5 is inserted into the second pressing block 13 , and when the sample 5 expands due to heat, a force is applied to the second pressing block 13 .

[0026] The force sensor 15 is electrically connected to the controller 17; The force sensor 15 is used to measure in real time the force exerted on the second pressing block 13 by the sample 5 when it expands due to heat, and transmit the force signal to the controller 17. The controller 17 determines the test progress according to the force value.

[0027] The container 8 is fixed on the cross beam 7 , and the cross beam 7 is connected to the base plate 1 through the column 6 .

[0028] A roller 18 is disposed at the bottom of the second pressing block 13 , and the second pressing block 13 is placed on a second supporting block 19 .

[0029] Example 2 like Figure 2 As shown, a high temperature corrosion and thermal fatigue composite test method is carried out in the test device of Example 1, comprising the following steps: Stage 1: Time t0~t1 is the heating stage; The heating signal takes effect, the first pressing block 3, the first wire 4, the sample 5, the second pressing block 13, the second wire 12 and the power supply 16 form a power-on circuit, the sample 5 is powered on and heated to increase the temperature from room temperature T0 to T1, the temperature sensor 20 monitors the temperature of the sample 5 in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 17, at this time the adjustment knob 11 is in the closed state; Stage 2: Time t1~t2, which is the high temperature maintenance stage; The heating signal takes effect, and the sample 5 continues to be powered on for heating. The temperature sensor 20 measures the temperature of the sample 5 in real time to ensure that the temperature of the sample 5 is stable at T1. At this time, the adjustment knob 11 is in the closed state; Stage 3: Time t2~t3 is the cooling trickle stage; The heating signal fails, the sample 5 is in the process of cooling down and maintained at T2, and the temperature sensor 20 monitors the temperature of the sample 5 in real time; at this time, the adjustment knob 11 is in the open state, and the saline solution 9 in the guide tube 10 begins to drip downward to the lower concave portion 51 of the sample 5. The downstream speed can be changed by adjusting the knob 11, thereby changing the corrosive environment; The above t0~t3 is a working condition cycle, and then the working condition is repeated until the test is stopped. In the subsequent cycle working condition, the temperature of sample 5 rises from T2 to T1 when it is powered on during the heating stage; Under the cyclic working condition, the force sensor 15 monitors the force signal of the sample 5 in real time and records the maximum force of each cyclic cooling process; when the maximum force of the cooling process in a certain cycle is reduced to 50% of the initial cycle, it is judged that the sample has failed and the test is stopped.

[0030] Among them, temperature T1>T2>T0, and T0 is room temperature.

[0031] In the high temperature holding stage of the present invention, the saline solution 9 evaporates in the recessed portion 51 of the sample, and salt particles are precipitated on the surface of the sample 5. Under high temperature conditions, the salt particles have a strong corrosive effect on the surface of the metal material sample 5, and during the high temperature corrosion of the sample 5, the force signal of the sample 5 is monitored in real time by the force sensor 15. Since the sample 5 will gradually corrode under the cyclic working condition, the force detected by the force sensor 15 under each cyclic working condition will gradually decrease. By recording the maximum force of each cyclic cooling process and transmitting the signal to the controller 17, the controller 17 can determine the test progress according to the force value. The whole process takes into account the multiple influencing factors of high temperature, corrosion, and thermal fatigue at the same time, and is more in line with the actual working environment of the sample.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
