Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fretting technology, and more specifically to an experimental device for tangential and punching combined fretting in a high-temperature liquid metal environment. Background Technology
[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for nuclear power, the international nuclear engineering community has proposed the development of fourth-generation nuclear power systems. These include lead-fired reactors, sodium-fired reactors, supercritical water reactors, and gas-fired reactors. Lead-fired and sodium-fired reactors, both using high-temperature liquid metals, offer higher thermal efficiency and energy density, better neutron physics properties, greater safety, and reduced nuclear waste compared to gas-fired and water-cooled reactors. Among lead-fired reactors, lead-bismuth reactors, with their unique advantages, are expected to be the first nuclear energy system to achieve industrial demonstration and commercial application.
[0003] Lead-bismuth alloy (LBE) has a high neutron scattering cross section and a low neutron absorption cross section, resulting in better neutron economy and a stronger ability to breed nuclear fuel. Lead-bismuth cooled reactors are one of the six preferred reactor types for Generation 4 nuclear energy systems, possessing inherent advantages such as good safety, high energy density, and long operating life, making them a research hotspot in the field of small nuclear power sources in recent years.
[0004] Despite the numerous advantages of using liquid metal as a reactor coolant, nuclear reactor structural materials face many adverse factors when operating in a high-temperature liquid metal environment. These include accelerated failure of structural materials under high temperatures, damage to materials from complex alternating loads during reactor operation, oxidation of the liquid metal itself, and corrosion of structural materials. These factors severely restrict the development of lead-bismuth fast reactors. Fretting erosion between the cladding tubes of fuel rods is one of the main causes of fuel assembly failure. Specifically, during reactor operation, the coolant flows from bottom to top along the fuel rod direction across the surface of the fuel cladding tubes. Due to the high flow velocity, the fuel rods are disturbed and experience slight vibrations, leading to fretting friction and wear near the contact points of the cladding tubes. In severe cases, this can cause fuel rod breakage and leakage of radioactive products, thus affecting the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research on the fretting erosion behavior of structural materials in a high-temperature liquid metal environment, comprehensively assess the coupling effects of mechanical removal, high-temperature thermal effects, and chemical corrosion of liquid metal, deeply explore the accelerated failure mechanism of materials by liquid metal, and systematically reveal the tribochemical failure mechanism of materials in a liquid metal environment.
[0005] However, the service environment of fuel assemblies in high-temperature liquid metal is extremely harsh, specifically manifested in dynamic sealing under high temperature, high pressure, and high frequency, as well as the accurate acquisition of real-time data and precise control of operating parameters. Currently, only the Russian Academy of Sciences and the German KIT have conducted similar studies on lead-based fuel assemblies in 2008 and 2012, respectively, while there are still few domestic studies on fretting wear tests under simulated service conditions.
[0006] Chinese patent publication number CN117268896A discloses a lead-bismuth environment fretting wear testing device, which can simulate a flowing liquid lead-bismuth environment and achieve a certain degree of adaptive line contact tangential fretting. However, due to its overly complex and large internal fixtures, it cannot guarantee the accuracy of the fretting amplitude, and its loading lacks feedback adjustment, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of long-term operation.
[0007] Chinese patent publication number "CN117347209A" discloses a fretting corrosion wear tester suitable for high-temperature lead-bismuth environments, which can adjust the displacement amplitude and normal load. However, its internal fixtures, like those in "CN117268896A", are overly complex and bulky.
[0008] Chinese patent publication number CN218601078U discloses a composite fretting wear testing device for use in a liquid lead-bismuth environment. The device uses annular and sheet-like specimens for testing, with each specimen mounted on a separate clamp. One clamp drives the outer wall of the annular specimen to press against the sheet-like specimen, while the other clamp drives the sheet-like specimen to reciprocate at high speed, thus completing the fretting wear test. However, its internal components are all suspended, making it difficult to guarantee stability during long-term operation in high-temperature lead-bismuth environments. Summary of the Invention

[0050] Step 3: Move the lid of the test vessel to the appropriate position, assemble the vessel body and lid with bolts, and set the heating temperature of the test vessel through the temperature control system;
[0051] Step 4: When the temperature of the test vessel reaches the predetermined value, the V-type ball valve is opened through the control system, and high-purity Ar is introduced into the melting vessel through the venting pipe to increase the gas pressure inside the vessel, thereby forcing the liquid metal into the test vessel along the heating pipe. After the liquid level sensor reaches the set value, the V-type ball valve automatically closes and the gas supply to the melting vessel is stopped. At this time, the dissolved oxygen concentration of the liquid metal in the test vessel is adjusted through the oxygen control system.
[0052] Step 5: When the temperature of the liquid metal and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the test vessel reach the specified values, set the output normal force, the micro-motion amplitude and micro-motion frequency of the voice coil motor on the control system, and set the running time. After adjusting all to the set values, click "Enable" to start the voice coil motor.
[0053] Step 6: After the running time is over, first stop heating the test vessel, then open the V-type ball valve to allow the liquid metal in the test vessel to flow back to the melting vessel. After the temperature inside the test vessel cools down to room temperature, remove the screws between the test vessel body and the vessel lid, lift the vessel lid using the lifting module, and then take out the test sample.

[0057] Step 2: Clamp the sample and the grinding pair in their respective fixtures;
[0058] Step 3: Move the lid of the test vessel to the appropriate position, assemble the vessel body and lid with bolts, and set the heating temperature of the test vessel through the temperature control system;
[0059] Step 4: When the temperature of the test vessel reaches the predetermined value, the V-type ball valve is opened through the control system, and high-purity Ar is introduced into the melting vessel through the venting pipe to increase the gas pressure inside the vessel, thereby forcing the liquid metal into the test vessel along the heating pipe. After the liquid level sensor reaches the set value, the V-type ball valve automatically closes and the gas supply to the melting vessel is stopped. At this time, the dissolved oxygen concentration of the liquid metal in the test vessel is adjusted through the oxygen control system.
[0060] Step 5: Once the temperature of the liquid metal and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the test vessel reach the specified values, set the impact force, the micro-motion amplitude and micro-motion frequency of the voice coil motor on the control system, and set the running time.
[0061] Step 6: After the running time is over, first stop heating the test vessel, then open the V-type ball valve to allow the liquid metal in the test vessel to flow back to the melting vessel. After the temperature inside the test vessel cools down to room temperature, remove the screws between the test vessel body and the vessel lid, lift the vessel lid using the lifting module, and then take out the test sample.
