Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of salt spray test devices, in particular to a composite environment test device integrating salt spray, ultraviolet rays and rain simulation functions. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of my country's high-speed railway construction, the number of high-speed railway passenger stations is also increasing. In coastal areas, the coatings of a large number of steel structures used in high-speed railway passenger stations are affected by marine salt spray, acid rain corrosion, ultraviolet radiation, etc., and their service life will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the aging of anti-corrosion coatings of steel structures in offshore atmosphere.
[0003] In traditional experiments, corrosion tests on steel structures are usually conducted under single environmental conditions, such as salt spray, ultraviolet radiation, or rain simulation. These single-environment simulation tests may not accurately reflect the corrosion conditions of the material in actual use, and need to be conducted on a variety of different test equipment, which increases the complexity of the experiment.
[0004] Publication number "CN108896475A" discloses a UV-salt spray composite accelerated test device that simulates multiple environmental factors. The above-mentioned accelerated test method combines functions such as UV irradiation, salt spray, temperature control, and humidity monitoring, and conducts experiments in the same test chamber to simulate the accelerated corrosion effect of environmental factors in the offshore atmospheric environment on steel structures.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned UV-salt spray composite accelerated test device simulating multiple environmental factors provides salt spray and UV factor simulation tests, it does not design a rain test to simulate the accelerated corrosion effect of acid rain on coated steel structures under wind. Acidic substances such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) contained in acid rain will combine with water vapor to form an acidic solution, causing corrosion of steel structures.
[0006] Secondly, in the above-mentioned ultraviolet salt spray composite accelerated test device simulating multiple environmental factors, the relative position between the sample and the ultraviolet lamp remains unchanged, which will cause the degree of radiation received by the sample to vary with the position.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a composite environmental testing device that integrates salt spray, ultraviolet and rain simulation functions. Summary of the invention
