Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemistry, and in particular to a stress corrosion micro-area in-situ electrochemical testing device and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of materials science and engineering, stress corrosion is a form of material failure caused by the combined effect of stress and corrosive environment, which poses a serious threat to the safety and reliability of key industrial fields. Especially in the marine environment, the synergistic effect of high humidity and strong corrosive conditions and stress loads intensifies the test of material safety performance. With the continuous deepening of marine development, the demand for new marine materials with excellent stress corrosion resistance is increasing. Therefore, it is crucial to deeply study the stress corrosion sensitivity of materials under different conditions. The formation and development of stress corrosion cracks in alloy materials is a complex multi-factor process, which usually occurs at the micro-nano level. Traditional electrochemical technology can only test the overall corrosion behavior and it is difficult to accurately and comprehensively analyze the stress corrosion mechanism. Although micro-area electrochemical testing technologies such as scanning electrochemical microscopy technology, scanning vibration electrode technology and local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technology can monitor the local electrochemical behavior of materials with constant load while keeping the original position of the material and the real environmental conditions unchanged, there is currently a lack of a device and method that can realize in-situ electrochemical testing of stress corrosion micro-areas.

[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese patent "A Constant Load Tensile Test Device" (CN 204116145 U) proposes a stress ring type constant load loading device, which sets the force for the metal sample loading experiment through the stress ring load detector, the stress ring loading probe and the clamp adjusting the second bolt. However, the device has many parts, which increases the manufacturing cost and installation complexity, and the difference in tightening degree and the stress ring processing accuracy may cause fluctuations in stress control accuracy, affecting the experimental results. In addition, the device is designed to be placed vertically and cannot be used in conjunction with an ultra-micro probe scanning device, and the mechanical loading accuracy is limited, so only simple macroscopic electrochemical tests can be performed, and micro-area tests cannot be performed. Another Chinese patent "A Multifunctional Aluminum Alloy Stress Tensile Test Equipment" (CN 214503167 U) discloses a tensile hydraulic cylinder type load loading device, which controls the tensile stress and loading rate of the aluminum alloy plate by controlling the hydraulic pump output pressure and the hydraulic cylinder extension speed through a control switch. However, in the NaCl solution simulating the marine environment, the liquid may penetrate into the joints of the various components of the device or the electrical connections, causing short circuit faults. Long-term use of the solution will also affect the mechanical transmission part, destroy the normal shock-absorbing mechanism of the shock-absorbing arc plate, and endanger the structural integrity and mechanical stability of the device. This device is suitable for simple tensile fatigue test experiments on alloy materials, but it cannot meet the basic conditions of alloy stress corrosion testing. The main disadvantages of the existing technology are that the stress loading device cannot accurately calculate the stress size, the stress loading accuracy is insufficient, and it is difficult to simulate certain actual working conditions such as the marine environment; most of the designed devices are large in size, and cannot be adapted to the scanning probe device when conducting micro-area electrochemical experiments on materials, and it is more troublesome to conduct micro-area tests. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a stress corrosion micro-area in-situ electrochemical testing device to solve the technical problems existing in the traditional testing methods, such as inaccurate stress application, difficulty in simulating actual working conditions in the testing environment, complex operation and low efficiency. The present invention realizes the simultaneous implementation of stress loading and electrochemical testing through an integrated design concept, improves the accuracy and efficiency of the test, reduces the complexity of the operation, and at the same time, by simulating different corrosion environments, provides flexibility for studying the stress corrosion performance of materials in different environments, thereby promoting technological progress in the field of materials science.

[0046] In at least one embodiment, the main body includes an open steel base 10 and a plastic base 9; the plastic base 9 is placed in the steel base 10. In order to meet the purpose of stress corrosion performance testing, a platform for fixing the counter electrode 12 and the reference electrode 14 is provided above the plastic base 9, and the counter electrode 12 and the reference electrode 14 are placed in the holes on the platform and locked by rubber rings. Above the sample 17, the probe working electrode 401 is used as a microelectrode to implement the electrochemical test of the stress corrosion micro-area of ​​the sample 17. The probe working electrode 401, the reference electrode 14 and the counter electrode 12 form a three-electrode system, and then the corrosion detection equipment is connected. Without changing the working conditions and positional relationship of the material and with high-precision mechanical loading, the in-situ test of the stress corrosion micro-area of ​​the sample 17 can be carried out.

[0047] In at least one embodiment, the first stress adjustment component includes a first pin hole bolt 21, a first high-elasticity compression spring 16 and a first nut 15; one end of the first pin hole bolt 21 is provided with a pin hole and extends through the side wall of the main body into the main body, and the first pin hole bolt 21 is fastened to one end of the sample 17 by a first pin 8 that cooperates with the pin hole, and the first high-elasticity compression spring 16 is arranged on the surface of the first pin hole bolt 21 outside the side wall of the main body, and the other end of the first pin hole bolt 21 is rotatably connected to the first nut 15. The second stress adjustment component includes a second pin hole bolt 22, a second high-elasticity compression spring 19 and a second nut 20; the second stress adjustment component and the first stress adjustment component are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the main body; one end of the second pin hole bolt 22 is provided with a pin hole and extends through the side wall of the main body into the main body, and the second pin hole bolt 22 is fastened to the other end of the sample 17 by a second pin 18 that cooperates with the pin hole.
