Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of non-destructive testing of gas turbine components, and particularly relates to a gas turbine turbine disc blade root groove array eddy current testing system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The turbine blade of a gas turbine is a core component for converting the kinetic energy and thermal energy of gas into mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy obtained by the turbine blade is transmitted to the gas turbine rotor through the turbine disc blade root groove, wherein the turbine disc blade root groove is the only structure connecting the turbine moving blade and the gas turbine rotor, and plays a very key role, but the working environment is also extremely harsh. During operation, cracks, corrosion pits and other defects are prone to occur on the turbine disc blade root groove and the turbine blade assembly surface, which seriously affects the structural integrity and operational safety. Therefore, effective non-destructive testing of the turbine disc blade root groove is an important means to ensure the safe operation of the gas turbine.

[0003] The traditional penetration detection method can only detect open surface cracks of the turbine disc blade root groove, and cannot detect closed surface cracks and near-surface cracks. Although the magnetic powder detection can detect surface and near-surface cracks, the use range is limited due to the fact that the turbine disc is often made of non-ferromagnetic high-temperature alloy. At the same time, due to the complex shape of the turbine disc blade root groove assembly surface, the defect detection implementation and subsequent result observation during penetration and magnetic powder detection are also affected. Therefore, the array eddy current detection method has become the preferred non-destructive testing method for the turbine disc blade root groove due to its large single detection area, simultaneous detection of surface and near-surface defects, high detection sensitivity and other advantages.

[0004] However, due to the complex shape of the turbine disc blade root groove surface, the large surface curvature of some positions, and the influence of surface states such as oil stains, rust and roughness during detection, the sensitivity and reliability of the array eddy current detection have always been low. At the same time, due to the variability of defect orientation, the array eddy current detection has high requirements for sensitivity in all directions, and cannot have the problem of being unable to detect some oriented defects.

The array eddy current detector is used to excite the array eddy current probe to generate eddy currents on the root groove detection surface of the turbine disk blade, and record the influence of the change in eddy current field intensity caused by defects on the detection surface on the impedance change of the array eddy current probe. The depth of the defect is determined based on the impedance change. The array eddy current detector also has a C-scan function. The comparison test block has a series of grooves of different sizes and orientations machined at different cross-sectional positions along the blade root groove; the orientation of the grooves is parallel to the blade root groove axis, perpendicular to the blade root groove axis, or at 45° to the blade root groove axis; at least one through groove is present in the grooves, and the through groove is perpendicular to the blade root groove axis. The probe frame is surrounded by an elastic body that conforms to the shape of the probe frame. The thickness of the elastic body is greater than the gap between the probe frame and the turbine blade root groove. The arrayed eddy current coils are set along the outer shape of the probe frame at the interface between the probe frame and the elastic body. The length of the arrayed eddy current coil group is not less than half the length of the arc surface of the turbine blade root groove. The arrayed eddy current coils adopt a two-row staggered coil arrangement. The minimum center distance of the arrayed eddy current coils is not greater than 4 times the length of the minimum defect to be detected.

The encoding device is positioned by contacting the turbine disk blade root groove through a roller or wire encoding method, and is connected to the encoding device interface on the array eddy current detector through a cable.

6. A method for detecting eddy currents in a gas turbine disk blade root groove array, characterized in that, This method is based on a gas turbine disk blade root groove array eddy current detection system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, comprising: The array eddy current probe was slid into and placed in the ungrooved position of the blade root groove of the comparison test block substrate. The array eddy current detector was used to excite the array eddy current probe to emit and receive the induced electromagnetic field, and the array eddy current coil was balanced using the array eddy current detector. A stepping device is used to make the array eddy current probe sweep along the axial direction of the blade root groove of the comparison test block at a set scanning speed. The groove defects and through grooves are displayed on the C-scan image of the array eddy current detector. By changing the excitation frequency, the angle between the groove signal and the lift-off signal is made perpendicular. Then, the lift-off signal is adjusted to a horizontal position. At the same time, the C-scan imaging effect of the array eddy current detector is observed. Comprehensive adjustments are made to ensure that both the impedance image and the C-scan image are clearly displayed. The groove on the comparison test block is scanned at least 3 times at the selected scanning speed to ensure that the groove defects are detected each time. After the debugging is completed, the detection parameters are saved in the array eddy current detector. During the actual inspection of the turbine blade root groove, the array eddy current probe is stably placed in the turbine blade root groove, so that the array eddy current coil is in close contact with the surface to be inspected, and the scanning speed is kept uniform; the suspected defects found are identified and recorded by C-scan images and impedance images.
