The second test piece 4 is mounted on the loading system 1; an electric heating wire is wound axially around the outer peripheral surface of the second test piece 4; and the second test piece 4 is connected to the low-temperature and low-pressure circuit.

[0044] Loading system 1 applies axial stress load to second test piece 4, electric heating wire applies high temperature load to second test piece 4, and low pressure low temperature circuit applies low temperature load to second test piece 4, so as to simulate the mechanical behavior of second test piece 4 under the condition of applying axial stress and transient thermal load simultaneously.

[0106] Specifically, the mechanical behavior of the first test piece 5 under transient thermal load was tested using a high-temperature, high-pressure circuit and a low-temperature, low-pressure circuit.

[0107] Step S1: Connect the water supply pipe to the water source, open the fourth valve 1204, and supply deionized water to the heating and pressure stabilizing unit 2 through the water supply pipe; open the first valve 1201 and start the shielded pump 3 to supply deionized water to the first test piece 5.

[0108] When the liquid level in the heating regulator 2 reaches the test set value, the fourth valve 1204 is closed; when the liquid level in the first test piece 5 reaches the test set value, the first valve 1201 and the shielded pump 3 are closed.

[0109] Open valve 1207 to replenish deionized water to atmospheric pressure water tank 7 through the water supply pipe;

[0110] Open the ninth valve 1209 and start the centrifugal pump 8. The centrifugal pump 8 cools the deionized water in the atmospheric pressure water tank 7 through the heat exchanger 9 and then sends it into the high pressure cold water tank 8 to replenish the high pressure cold water tank 8 with low temperature deionized water. When the liquid levels inside the high pressure cold water tank 8 and the atmospheric pressure water tank 7 reach the test set value, close the ninth valve 1209 and the seventh valve 1207.

[0111] Step S2: High-pressure nitrogen gas source supplies gas to the heating regulator 2 and the high-pressure cold water tank 6 respectively, pressurizes the high-pressure cold water tank 6 and the heating regulator 2 to the test set value, and then stops pressurizing.

[0112] Step S3: The deionized water inside the heating regulator 2 is heated by the electric heating element 203, the shielded pump 3 is started, the first valve 1201 and the second valve 1202 are opened, and a water medium circulation is formed in the high temperature and high pressure circuit to heat the first test piece 5. During the circulation process, the liquid level and pressure in the heating regulator 2 are finely adjusted by the third valve 1203.

[0113] When the internal temperature and pressure of the first test piece 5 reach the test set value, turn off the electric heating element 203, turn off the shielded pump 3, and close the first valve 1201 and the second valve 1202.

[0114] A water medium circulation is formed in the high temperature and high pressure circuit. That is, the high temperature deionized water in the heating and pressure regulator 2 enters from the inlet of the shielded pump 3, exits from the outlet of the shielded pump 3, enters the first test piece 5 through the high temperature medium inlet 501, flows out from the high temperature medium outlet 502 of the first test piece 5, and returns to the heating and pressure regulator 2 through the return water port, thus forming a high temperature and high pressure circuit.

[0115] Step S4: Open the ninth valve 1209 and the sixth valve 1206 to discharge the low-temperature deionized water in the high-pressure cold water tank 6 into the first test piece 5 through the outlet 602 of the high-pressure cold water tank, providing a rapid cooling condition for the first test piece 5 and forming a transient heat load; control the flow rate of low-temperature deionized water entering the first test piece 5 from the high-pressure cold water tank 6 by adjusting the fifth valve 1205.

[0116] When the liquid level inside the high-pressure cold water tank 6 drops below the test set value, close the ninth valve 1209 and open the fifth valve 1205 to form a circulation in the low-temperature and low-pressure circuit 2, cooling down the first test piece 5 and forming a transient thermal load; control the cooling rate by adjusting the flow rate of low-temperature deionized water entering the first test piece 5 by adjusting the eighth valve 1208.

[0117] Step S5: During the test, the internal temperature and pressure of the first test piece 5 are measured by the first test piece pressure measuring component and the first test piece temperature measuring component 505 to obtain the mechanical behavior of the first test piece 5 under transient thermal load conditions.

[0118] Specifically, the mechanical behavior of the second test piece 4 under transient thermal load was tested using a low-temperature, low-pressure circuit in conjunction with loading system 1:

[0119] Step S1: Open the seventh valve 1207 and the ninth valve 1209, and simultaneously turn on the centrifugal pump 8. The centrifugal pump 8 cools the deionized water in the atmospheric pressure water tank 7 through the heat exchanger 9 and then delivers it into the high-pressure cold water tank 8 to replenish the high-pressure cold water tank 8 with low-temperature deionized water. When the liquid level inside the high-pressure cold water tank 8 reaches the test set value, close the ninth valve 1209 and the seventh valve 1207.

[0120] Step S2: The second test piece 4 is heated by heating wire, and then kept at the set temperature after reaching the test value;

[0121] Step S3: Apply axial stress load to the second test piece 4 through the loading system 1. Stop loading when the test set value is reached.

[0122] Step S4: Turn off the electric heating wire and open the tenth valve 1210 to introduce low-temperature deionized water from the high-pressure cold water tank 6 into the second test piece 4, providing a rapid cooling condition for the second test piece 4 and forming a transient thermal load.

[0123] Step S5: During the test, the temperature of the second test piece 4 is measured by the second test piece temperature measuring component, and the local strain of the second test piece 4 is measured by the strain gauge attached to the surface of the second test piece 4, so as to obtain the mechanical behavior of the second test piece 4 under transient thermal load conditions.
