The existing ordinary ultrasonic vibration cavitation testing machines can only evaluate the cavitation performance of materials in a low-temperature water medium environment and under fixed amplitude and frequency conditions during actual application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1 As shown, a multifunctional cavitation evaluation and in-situ observation system includes an ultrasonic driving power supply 1, a liftable bracket 2, an ultrasonic host 3, an XYZ axis displacement adjustment platform 4, a thermocouple 5, a sample fixture 6, an angle table 7, a scale 8, a temperature-controllable reactor 9, an oil bath circulation pipeline 10, a fixed threaded joint 11, a high and low temperature integrated constant temperature bath 12, a fine-tuning pan-tilt head 13, a high-speed camera 14, a host computer 15, and a light source 16.

[0016] The ultrasonic driving power supply 1 adopts a high-performance ultrasonic generator with an output voltage of less than AC1500 V and an output current of less than AC2A. The ultrasonic driving power supply 1 converts low-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency and high-voltage electrical energy through software and hardware control logic, supplies power to the ultrasonic host 3 through a cable, drives the transducer 31 to work, realizes the mutual conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy through the piezoelectric effect, and then amplifies the particle displacement of the mechanical vibration through the amplitude rod 32, accurately and continuously adjusts and controls the amplitude in the range of 40-110 μm, and concentrates the ultrasonic energy on a smaller area, finally achieving the purpose of generating different cavitation intensities in the liquid under the tool head 33. The tool head 33 is installed with a sample 34 and replaced regularly.

[0017] The liftable support 2 is equipped with a millimeter-level electric lift system, which can accurately control the depth of the upper sample 34 immersed in the liquid surface, and is easy to operate. The ultrasonic host 3, the XYZ axis displacement adjustment platform 4, the thermocouple 5, the angle table 7, and the scale 8 are fixed on the liftable support 2.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the XYZ axis displacement adjustment platform 4 includes a Z direction differential head 41 (stroke 10 mm), an X direction differential head 42 (stroke ±12.5 mm), a Y direction differential head 43 (stroke ±12.5 mm), and a locking screw 44. By rotating the differential head, the position of the cavitation area and the distance between the lower sample and the upper sample 34 can be adjusted within a precision range of 0.03 mm.

[0019] The temperature measuring range of the thermocouple 5 is -50~300°C, with an accuracy of 0.1°C. It is installed on the side of the tool head 33 to accurately display the temperature of the liquid medium in the temperature-controllable reactor 9.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the sample fixture 6 consists of two front and rear clamps 61, a first screw 62, and a second screw 63. The clamp 61 has a V-shaped opening in the middle, a 6 mm wide groove on the top, and threaded holes on both sides. The first screw 62 passes through the groove to fix the clamp 61 above the angle table 7. The two clamps 61 are connected by the second screw 63. The spacing between the clamps 61 can be adjusted by the screws, which can effectively fix lower specimens of various shapes and sizes.

[0021] The angle table 7 is driven by a worm gear. The tilt of the worktable on the dovetail guide rail is achieved by adjusting the front and rear rotating handwheel 71 and the left and right rotating handwheel 72, thereby adjusting the parallelism between the lower specimen and the specimen surface on the tool head.

[0022] The temperature-controllable reactor 9 is connected to the high and low temperature integrated thermostatic bath 12 through an oil bath circulation pipeline 10. The temperature-controllable reactor 9 is made of quartz glass, and its single-layer shooting surface is made of quartz glass after optical-grade polishing. After treatment, the transmittance is ≥90%, which can simultaneously meet the high light transmittance shooting requirements and the precise control of the temperature of the liquid medium in the reactor. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the test, for cavitation tests that have no shooting requirements and need to be carried out under high temperature conditions for a long time, a stainless steel temperature-controllable reactor is selected, and the oil bath circulation pipeline uses a stainless steel hose and is fixed with a thread 11, so as to meet the requirements for evaluating the cavitation performance of the material in a wide temperature range and multiple media. The high and low temperature integrated thermostatic bath 12 has a heating power of 1000 W and a cooling capacity of 800 W, and can achieve the temperature rise and fall and temperature control of the temperature control medium (silicone oil) in the range of -20 to 200 ° C.

[0023] The high-speed camera 14 is placed on the fine-tuning pan-tilt 13 and connected to the host computer 15 through a Gigabit Ethernet communication interface. The fine-tuning pan-tilt 13 can provide high-precision adjustment, enhance shooting stability and improve shooting flexibility during shooting. The high-speed camera 14 is equipped with a Nikon 24-85 mm f 2.8 macro lens and a Navitar 9x microscope lens, a 1280×800 CMOS sensor, a minimum exposure time of 1 us, a full-frame shooting rate of 7500 frames / second, and a maximum shooting rate of 680000 frames / second. The host computer 15 is installed with Phantom Software, which has parameter settings, image playback, image download, file management, image processing, analysis and measurement of speed displacement angle and other parameter functions. The light source 16 has a function of 70,000 LUX illumination at a center position of 1 meter, which can provide appropriate exposure control and three-dimensional shaping for shooting.

[0024] Standard test method: ① Preparation before the test Before the test, check whether the laboratory environment can meet the safety operation requirements and whether it has safety precautions and risk response measures.

[0025] Before the test, check whether the test equipment is complete and whether all functions of the equipment are normal, and keep records of equipment operation.

[0026] Before the test, the test samples were pretreated.

[0027] Before the test, check the lower sample and the 316L stainless steel upper sample 34 for cracks and manufacturing defects, and whether they meet the design requirements of the drawings.

[0028] The lower sample was ultrasonically cleaned with an organic solvent for 10 min and dried in an electric heated blast drying oven to obtain the lower sample to be tested.

[0029] After the sample to be tested is cooled to room temperature, it is weighed using a 1 / 10,000 electronic balance and the data before the test is recorded.

[0030] ② Evaluation steps a) Install / replace the ultrasonic main unit, turn on the ultrasonic driving power supply 1, set the test time, amplitude and other test parameters on the operation interface, and then pour the medium required for the test into the temperature-controlled reactor 9.

[0031] b) Use a torque wrench to install the 316L stainless steel upper sample 34 on the tool head 33, then wipe the surface of the upper sample 34 clean with an alcohol cotton ball, adjust the liftable bracket 2, observe the scale 8 and lower the upper sample 34 to a specified depth below the liquid surface.

[0032] c) Start ultrasound, turn on the high and low temperature integrated constant temperature bath 12, set the required temperature control value, start the cooling, heating and circulation functions in sequence, and adjust the circulation speed to maintain the liquid medium in the temperature controllable reactor 9 within the required test temperature range.

[0033] d) Pause ultrasound, control the lifting bracket 2 to rise, adjust the clamp 61 of the sample fixture 6 and the screw to clamp and fix the test sample, adjust the X-direction differential head 42 and the Y-direction differential head 43 of the XYZ-axis displacement adjustment platform 4 to select the cavitation area, then adjust the Z-direction differential head 41 and the rotating handwheel of the angle table 7 to adjust the sample surface to be parallel to the surface of the upper sample 34, rotate the Z-direction differential head 41 to adjust the distance between the sample surface and the surface of the upper sample 34, and tighten the locking screw.

[0034] e) Adjust the liftable support 2, observe the scale 8 to lower the upper sample 34 to a specified depth below the liquid surface, start the ultrasound, and conduct the cavitation experiment.

[0035] f) The high-speed camera 14 is an in-situ online observation unit. When shooting, set up the fine-tuning pan-tilt 13, connect the high-speed camera 14 and the host computer 15, open the Phantom Software, set appropriate shooting parameters, coordinately adjust the knob of the fine-tuning pan-tilt 13 and the position of the light source 16, focus, and start shooting. After shooting, turn off the light source 16 and the high-speed camera 14 in turn. For experiments without shooting requirements, this step can be skipped.

[0036] g) After the cavitation test is completed, the liftable support 2 is raised from the temperature-controlled reactor 9, and the lower sample is removed from the sample fixture 6. The lower sample is placed in an organic solvent, and after ultrasonic cleaning and high-temperature drying, the test sample is weighed using a 1 / 10,000 electronic balance.

[0037] h) For experiments conducted under high temperature conditions, the liquid medium is poured out from the temperature-controlled reactor 9 after cooling, and the angle table 7, the sample fixture 6 and the temperature-controlled reactor 9 are cleaned.

[0038] The online in-situ detection and analysis system provided by the present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0039] Example 1 Use a torque wrench to install the upper sample 34 on the tool head 33, use the sample fixture 6 to fix the test sample L907 steel, adjust the X-direction differential head 42 and the Y-direction differential head 43 of the XYZ axis displacement adjustment platform 4, then adjust the Z-direction differential head 41 and the angle stage 7 to rotate the handwheel to adjust the lower sample surface to be parallel to the upper sample 34 surface with a spacing of 500 μm, and tighten the locking screw. Pour the water medium into the temperature-controlled reactor 9, open the high and low temperature integrated constant temperature bath 12, and after the liquid medium in the temperature-controlled reactor 9 reaches the required test temperature (5℃, 20℃, 40℃ and 60℃), adjust the liftable bracket 2 and observe the scale 8 to lower the lower sample to 12 mm below the liquid surface. Turn on the ultrasonic drive power supply 1, adjust the amplitude, and start the ultrasound. Set up the fine-tuning pan-tilt head 13, connect the high-speed camera 14 and the host computer 15, open the Phantom Software, set appropriate shooting parameters, coordinately adjust the knobs of the fine-tuning pan-tilt head 13 and the position of the light source 16, focus, and start shooting.

[0040] Figure 7 The cumulative mass loss and mass loss rate of L907A steel in water media at different temperatures are shown. After 10 hours of cavitation, the cumulative mass loss of L907A steel at 5 ℃, 20 ℃, 40 ℃ and 60 ℃ were 39.8±4.2, 58.5±1.3, 64.2±7.2 and 31.6±1.7 mg, respectively. The cumulative mass loss of L907A steel was the smallest at 60 ℃, and the cumulative mass loss at 40 ℃ was twice that at 60 ℃. The results show that the cumulative mass loss of L907A steel increases with the increase of liquid medium temperature, reaches a peak value, and then decreases with the increase of liquid medium temperature.

[0041] Figure 8 The collapse process of a single bubble in a liquid medium at different temperatures is shown. The time interval between each photo in the figure is 1.39×10 -2 μs. First, as the temperature of the liquid medium increases, the maximum radius of the bubble increases (e.g. Figure 8 As shown in the red box in the figure, at 5 °C, the maximum cavitation bubble diameter is about 240 µm, while at 60 °C it is 750 µm. This is because the increase in medium temperature is accompanied by an increase in its saturated vapor pressure and a decrease in surface tension. However, bubbles with larger radius will produce a serious shielding effect. The bubbles far away from the downstream area of ​​the cavitation source provide protection or shielding for the bubbles close to the cavitation source. The bubble cloud in the downstream area limits the shock wave emitted by the collapse of the bubbles close to the cavitation source to propagate in the external area, thereby reducing the degree of cavitation damage at high temperature. Secondly, from Figure 8 It can be seen that as the medium temperature increases, the time required for the bubble to collapse increases ( Figure 8The yellow box in the middle is a photo of bubble collapse), which further reduces the frequency of bubble collapse. The speed of bubble collapse depends largely on the temperature of the medium. At 5 ℃, it takes 4.17×10 -2 µs( Figure 8 A4), while at 60 °C it requires 16.68×10 -2 µs( Figure 8 D13).

[0042] Example 2 Use a torque wrench to install the upper sample 34 on the tool head 33, use the sample fixture 6 to fix the test sample ZL101 cast aluminum alloy, adjust the X-direction differential head 42 and the Y-direction differential head 43 of the XYZ axis displacement adjustment platform 4, then adjust the Z-direction differential head 41 and the angle stage 7 to rotate the handwheel to adjust the lower sample surface to be parallel to the upper sample 34 surface with a spacing of 500 μm, and tighten the locking screw. Pour RP-3 aviation kerosene into the temperature-controlled reactor 9, open the high and low temperature integrated constant temperature bath 12, and wait until the liquid medium in the temperature-controlled reactor 9 reaches the required test temperature (10 ℃, 25 ℃, 60 ℃, 95 ℃ and 130 ℃), and then adjust the liftable bracket 2 and the scale 8 to lower the lower sample to 12 mm below the liquid surface. Turn on the ultrasonic drive power supply 1, adjust the amplitude, and start the ultrasound.

[0043] Fig. 9 The cumulative mass loss of ZL101 cast aluminum alloy in RP-3 aviation kerosene cavitation for 3 h is compared, combined with the surface morphology photos ( Fig.10 ) It can be found that the mass loss of ZL101 cast aluminum alloy is the largest at 95 ℃, the cavitation damage is the most serious, and the cavitation damage is the slightest at 10 ℃.

[0044] The embodiments illustrate that a multifunctional cavitation evaluation and in-situ observation system can not only evaluate the cavitation performance of materials under a variety of simulated working conditions, but also conduct high-speed camera in-situ observation during the cavitation process to observe in real time the bubble formation and collapse process in different liquid environments at different temperatures. It can better connect laboratory research with actual working conditions and evaluate the cavitation performance and damage mechanism of materials more accurately, objectively and scientifically.
