Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of welding testing, and in particular to a creep performance testing system and a life prediction method for overlapping low-melting-point brazing components. Background Art

[0002] One of the key design principles of advanced third-generation pressurized water reactors (PWRs) is the use of passive measures to ensure safe operation of nuclear power units. Temperature-sensitive components based on lap soldering are widely used in the passive safety protection systems of my country's third-generation PWRs. Accurate characterization of material creep properties is a prerequisite for life analysis and environmental suitability assessment of soldered structures. Lap-brazed joints contain multiple complex regions, including the base metal, diffusion zone, and brazing filler metal. Each region of the brazed joint has distinct mechanical properties. The pinning effect of the brazed diffusion zone is the primary factor in maintaining the high-temperature strength of the soldered component. Conventional uniaxial testing cannot accurately characterize the high-temperature creep performance of lap-brazed joints. The test specimens consist of two metal plates welded together at a lap joint and brazed. Current creep testing equipment is typically clamped at both ends of the overlapping metal plates, which can easily cause metal deformation during tensile loading, leading to errors and inaccurate creep measurement.

[0039] The sample 500 clamping module is used to clamp the edge of the weld 510 of the sample 500, rather than clamping it at both ends of the sample 500. This can greatly reduce the impact of the deformation of the metal at both ends of the sample 500 on the results of the sample 500. Then, by heating in a high-temperature environment box 100, the loading control module 200 applies tensile force to both ends of the sample 500, and the displacement detection module detects the amount of creep deformation.

[0044] Figures 2 to 5 It is shown that in one embodiment, the first fixing seat and the second fixing seat may include the first fixing seat and the second fixing seat including a clamp 301, an axis 302 and a clamping mechanism, the upper end of the clamp 301 is connected to the loading control module 200, the lower end of the clamp 301 is provided with a groove, the clamping mechanism is arranged in the groove, the clamping mechanism is connected to the first connecting member 308 and the second connecting member 312, and the axis 302 hinges the clamping mechanism and the clamp 301.

[0045] Figures 2 to 5 The clamping mechanism shown in one embodiment may include a clamping seat 303, a clamping block 304 and a clamping bolt 305, wherein the clamping seat 303 is hinged to the clamp 301, the clamping seat 303 abuts against the sample 500, the clamping block 304 clamps the sample 500 on the clamping seat 303, and the clamping bolt 305 passes through the clamping block 304 and the sample 500 and is threadedly fixed to the clamping seat 303.

[0046] Figure 1 and Figure 2It is shown that the loading control module 200 may include a loading control module 200 and a load controller in one embodiment, wherein the loading control module 200 is arranged in the high temperature environment box 100, and the load sensor is connected to the loading control module 200; the loading control module 200 includes an upper loading rod 210 and a lower loading rod 220, wherein the upper loading rod 210 is fixed to the high temperature environment box 100, and the lower loading rod 220 is connected to the load controller.

[0047] Figure 1 and Figure 6 The displacement detection module shown in one embodiment may include a first displacement extensometer, a second displacement extensometer and an extensometer 400, wherein the first displacement extensometer is connected to the first clamping unit 300, the second displacement extensometer is connected to the second clamping unit 310, and the first displacement extensometer and the second displacement extensometer are connected to the extensometer 400.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, the extensometer 400 is a grating displacement extensometer 400 . The grating displacement extensometer 400 has extremely high detection accuracy, with an error of up to ±1 μm, meeting the accuracy requirements of creep testing.

The area of ​​the calibration piece 405 is larger than the diameter of the first extension rod 410 and the second extension rod 420, which can ensure that the first extension rod 410 and the second extension rod 420 will not be misaligned with the detection end of the extensometer 400 due to position offset, resulting in misplacing, thereby improving the reliability of detection.

[0052] Figures 8 to 11 A method for predicting the creep life of an overlapping low-melting-point brazing component in one embodiment of the present invention is shown, comprising the following steps:

[0053] Step S1, determining the material of the component to be evaluated, the component operating temperature T (unit: °C), the working load P (unit: N), the brazing layer width a (unit: mm), the brazing layer length b (unit: mm), the brazing layer thickness s (unit: mm), and the porosity A (unit: %) of the solder layer;

[0054] Step S2: Place the sample 500 into the high-temperature environmental chamber 100. Use the loading control module 200 to securely connect both ends of the sample 500 and apply a stress F (in N). Use the sample 500 clamping module to clamp both sides of the weld 510 of the sample 500. Use the displacement detection module to detect the creep deformation δ (in mm).

[0055] Step S3, by substituting the parameters of step S1 and the stress F and creep deformation δ obtained in step S2 into the equation, the initial creep stress is calculated using the component shear stress τ in MPa and the creep strain is calculated using the component shear strain γ, which are dimensionless parameters;

[0056] Step S4, forming a linear relationship between the brazing layer shear stress τ and the creep rupture time t(h) obtained in step 3, and the brazing layer shear stress and the minimum creep shear strain rate Form a linear relationship in a logarithmic coordinate system, and determine whether the two relationship curves conform to a linear relationship in the double logarithmic coordinate system. If both conform to a linear relationship, proceed to the next step S5;

[0057] Step S5, for the overlapped brazing element subjected to shear deformation that satisfies the linear relationship in the double logarithmic coordinates in step 4, determine the service life of the overlapped brazing element subjected to shear deformation under the specified working load P, and the service life can be obtained through the formula.

[0058] First, the various parameters of the sample are tested and confirmed, and then calculated according to the formula to obtain the service life of the sample under the working environment of the corresponding temperature and corresponding tensile load. In addition, the test data does not need to be screened with redundant data in the overlapped low-melting-point brazing component creep performance test system. The creep deformation directly detected is true and reliable, which greatly simplifies the service life calculation process and improves the accuracy of service life estimation.

[0059] The formula in step 3 is

[0060] Where F is the initial creep load during the creep test (N), a is the width of the brazing layer (mm), b is the length of the brazing layer (mm), s is the thickness of the brazing layer (mm), A is the porosity of the brazing layer (which can be determined by X-ray method), and is the shear creep deformation of the brazing layer during the creep test (mm).

[0061] The formula in step 5 is lg(t) = n + mlg(τ). The creep life of the component can be extrapolated and calculated by the formula, where τ is the shear stress of the brazing layer in MPa, t is the creep rupture time in h, and the parameters n and m can be obtained by fitting the creep test results of the lap-brazed component using the least squares method;

[0062] By transforming the formula, we can get the following formula:

[0063]

[0064] Where A IC It is the maximum allowable porosity of the overlap soldering component during the manufacturing process.

[0065] Figure 11 The comparative test results of the test system proposed in this application and the conventional creep displacement test results in the standard are demonstrated. In the initial stage of the creep test (0.007 hours), the elastic displacement of the structure using the traditional displacement life prediction method is 0.149 mm, and the actual shear displacement of the brazing layer using the method proposed in this article is 0.012 mm. It can be seen that the measured displacement accuracy of the conventional creep displacement life prediction method is much lower than the test accuracy of the system proposed in this article. This is because the fixing method is different. In the existing standard, the specimens at both ends need to be fixed with corresponding holes. The specimens around the holes will be subjected to huge deformation, and the initial creep parameters need to be corrected. This correction value is usually an empirical formula and is not accurate. However, because the present application is clamped on both sides of the weld for detection, the deformation is smaller, the result is more accurate, and no correction is required.

[0066] Figure 9 It shows that under different tensile forces, conventional existing technologies will have an additional deformation at the beginning compared to the present application. This requires removal or addition of correction values ​​in conventional specimens, which greatly affects the test accuracy. As time goes on, creep is gradually destroyed, forming a fracture breakthrough, which is the final life of the brazing.

[0067] Figure 10 A comparison is shown under the same tensile force, and it can be clearly seen that the previous conventional existing technology will have a much larger deformation.

[0068] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
