Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic characterization method and device for metal fatigue damage. Background Art

[0002] Metal fatigue refers to the phenomenon that under cyclic stress or strain, metal materials or components accumulate damage, cracks initiate and expand at stress levels far less than their tensile strength or yield strength, and eventually break. The damage process is often difficult to observe directly with the naked eye, and has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the material, so its detection and characterization are of great significance.

[0003] The evaluation of metal fatigue is mainly divided into two categories: destructive evaluation methods and non-destructive evaluation methods. Destructive evaluation methods usually require the destruction of part or all of the test piece, and the degree of fatigue damage is evaluated by directly observing or measuring its internal structure and performance. This method requires the destruction of the test piece, and the test cycle is long and the cost is high. It belongs to the category of sampling inspection and cannot represent the fatigue damage of the sample as a whole. Non-destructive evaluation methods can evaluate the degree of fatigue damage by detecting its external or internal physical properties without destroying the test piece. In particular, the ultrasonic characterization method of metal fatigue damage has the advantages of high sensitivity, wide application range, high efficiency, repeatability and safety. It is an ideal method for metal fatigue damage evaluation. Summary of the invention

[0012] In the formula, is the normalized amplitude, for c The amplitude of the ultrasonic signal of each cycle is is the ultrasonic signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the number of cycles in step 5) and step 6) are both logarithmic.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the quantitative relationship expression between the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and the yield strength in step 6) is used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of fatigue damage according to the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude.

[0024] Example 1 like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides an ultrasonic characterization method for metal fatigue damage, comprising the following steps: 1) Prepare standard tensile specimens of metal materials and conduct stress-strain experiments on a tensile testing machine to obtain stress-strain curves, yield strength and tensile strength parameters of metal materials; 2) Processing a number of metal specimens of the same specification, setting the fatigue load, stress ratio and cycle number of the fatigue test according to the metal material performance parameters obtained in step 1), and cyclically loading the metal specimens on a metal fatigue testing machine to obtain a number of metal fatigue specimens with different cycle numbers; 3) Use an ultrasonic probe to perform ultrasonic testing on the prepared metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times, and record the ultrasonic detection signal amplitudes corresponding to different cycle times in turn; 4) Taking the ultrasonic detection signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen as a reference, normalize the ultrasonic signal amplitudes of the metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times obtained in step 3); 5) Perform stress-strain experiments on the metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times obtained in step 2) to obtain the corresponding relationship between the yield strength and cycle times of the metal fatigue specimens; 6) Based on the yield strength-cycle number correspondence obtained in step 5), combined with the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude-cycle number correspondence, the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude-yield strength correspondence is obtained; the correspondence is fitted using the least squares method to obtain a quantitative relationship expression between the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and the yield strength.

[0025] Example 2 like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides an ultrasonic characterization method for metal fatigue damage, comprising the following steps: Step 1: According to the material grade of the component to be tested for fatigue damage, prepare a standard tensile specimen of the corresponding material grade according to GB / T 228.1, and perform a stress-strain experiment on a tensile testing machine to obtain the stress-strain curve of the metal material, as well as performance parameters such as yield strength and tensile strength.

[0026] Step 2: Process several metal specimens of the same specification, set the fatigue load, stress ratio and cycle number of the fatigue test according to the metal material performance parameters obtained in step 1, and perform cyclic loading on the metal specimens on a metal fatigue testing machine to obtain several metal fatigue specimens with different cycle numbers.

[0027] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the metal sample may be rectangular, square, etc., and its length and cross-sectional dimensions should enable the ultrasonic probe to be stably coupled to its surface without affecting the accurate measurement of the amplitude of the ultrasonic detection signal.

[0028] Preferably, the same position on the side of several metal samples is processed with artificial grooves to accelerate the formation process of metal fatigue and ensure that fatigue of different metal samples occurs at the same position. The shape of the artificial groove can be U-shaped or V-shaped, and the specific shape is determined according to the fatigue failure form of the metal part to be characterized.

[0029] Preferably, after the metal specimens have been subjected to fatigue tests of different cycles, the artificial grooves on the sides of the specimens are completely machined away, and it is ensured that the outer dimensions of each metal specimen after machining are the same, thereby obtaining metal fatigue specimens of different cycles.

[0030] Preferably, the minimum number of cycles is zero, and the maximum number of cycles should be such that no macro cracks appear at the fatigue position.

[0031] Step 3: Use an ultrasonic probe to perform ultrasonic testing on the prepared metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times, and record the ultrasonic detection signal amplitudes corresponding to different cycle times in sequence.

[0032] Preferably, the ultrasonic probe can be a combination of a transmitter and a receiver probe, or a single pulse reflection probe. The detection waveform of the combination of a transmitter and a receiver probe can be a surface wave or a lambda wave, and the detection waveform of the single pulse reflection probe can be a longitudinal wave.

[0033] Step 4: Taking the ultrasonic detection signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen (i.e., the cycle number is 0) as a reference, the ultrasonic signal amplitudes of the metal fatigue specimens with different cycle numbers obtained in step 3 are normalized.

[0034] Preferably, the amplitude normalization processing method is:

[0035] In the formula, is the normalized amplitude, for c The amplitude of the ultrasonic signal of each cycle is is the ultrasonic signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen.

[0036] Step 5: Perform stress-strain experiments on the metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times obtained in step 2 to obtain the corresponding relationship between the yield strength and the cycle times of the metal fatigue specimens.

[0037] Step 6: Based on the yield strength-cycle number correspondence obtained in step 5, combined with the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude-cycle number correspondence, obtain the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude-yield strength correspondence. The least squares method is used to fit the correspondence to obtain a quantitative relationship expression between the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and the yield strength, and the degree of fatigue damage is quantitatively evaluated.

[0038] Preferably, the number of cycles in step 5 and step 6 are both logarithmic.

[0039] Example 3 Taking GTD450 martensitic stainless steel commonly used in heavy-duty gas turbine compressor blades as an example, the ultrasonic characterization method of its metal fatigue damage is as follows: 1) Prepare GTD450 standard tensile specimens according to GB / T 228.1. To ensure the accuracy of the results, at least 3 groups of tensile specimens should be prepared, and stress-strain experiments should be carried out on a tensile testing machine to obtain the average yield strength and tensile strength of GTD450 tensile specimens.

[0040] 2) Process at least 10 groups of metal specimens of the same specifications for fatigue testing. The cross-sectional shape of the metal specimen is rectangular, and the length should be able to stably couple the ultrasonic probe to its surface without affecting the accurate measurement of the ultrasonic detection signal amplitude. According to the relevant requirements of GB / T 37306.1 and GB / T 3075, combined with the obtained GTD450 material yield strength, set the fatigue load, stress ratio and cycle number of the fatigue test.

[0041] 3) V-shaped artificial grooves are processed at the same position on the side of each metal specimen to ensure that fatigue of different metal specimens occurs at the same position. 10 groups of metal specimens are loaded with different cycles on the metal fatigue testing machine, and the artificial grooves on the sides of the obtained specimens are completely processed to ensure that the outer dimensions of the 10 groups of metal specimens after processing are the same, and 10 groups of metal fatigue specimens with different cycles are obtained. At least one of the 10 groups of fatigue specimens has not been fatigue cycled, and the fatigue specimen with the maximum cycle should not have macro cracks.

[0042] 4) A transmit-receive ultrasonic probe is used to transmit and receive surface waves at the fatigue position of the metal fatigue specimen, and ultrasonic tests are performed on the prepared metal fatigue specimens with different cycle times, and the ultrasonic detection signal amplitudes corresponding to different cycle times are recorded in turn.

[0043] 5) Taking the ultrasonic detection signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen (i.e., the cycle number is 0) as a reference, the ultrasonic signal amplitudes of the metal fatigue specimens with different cycle numbers are normalized to obtain the corresponding relationship between the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and the cycle number, where the cycle number is taken as the logarithm.

[0044] The amplitude normalization processing method is:

[0045] In the formula, is the normalized amplitude, for c The amplitude of the ultrasonic signal of each cycle is is the ultrasonic signal amplitude of the intact metal fatigue specimen.

[0046] 6) According to GB / T 228.1, stress-strain tests were conducted on 10 groups of metal fatigue specimens with different cycles to obtain the corresponding relationship between yield strength and cycle number of GTD450 material metal fatigue specimens (logarithm of cycle number). Combined with the corresponding relationship between normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and cycle number, the corresponding relationship between normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and yield strength was obtained.

[0047] 7) The least squares method is used to fit the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude-yield strength correspondence relationship, and the quantitative relationship expression between the normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude and the yield strength is obtained to quantitatively evaluate the degree of fatigue damage.

[0048] Construct a quantitative relationship expression:

[0049] In the formula, a 0 , a 1 , …, a m is the coefficient of the quantitative relationship expression, σ is the yield strength.

[0050] The residual sum of squares is calculated as:

[0051] In the formula, S r is the residual sum of squares, n is the number of metal fatigue specimens, A nori For the i Normalized ultrasonic signal amplitude of a metal fatigue specimen.

[0052] By finding the minimum value of the residual sum of squares, we can obtain a 0 , a 1 , …, a m , thereby obtaining a quantitative relationship expression.
