Background Art:
[0002] The seawater filter is used to filter seawater impurities such as sediment entering the ship's cooling system to ensure the safe operation of machinery and equipment in the ship system. It serves in a harsh and complex marine environment and is affected by corrosion of high-salinity seawater, erosion by scouring, and biofouling. After long-term service, problems such as corrosion failure and decreased working efficiency may occur, and even serious safety accidents such as blockage of the cooling and heat exchange system may be triggered. At present, static immersion or simple dynamic circulation tests are mostly used for the corrosion tests of seawater filters, which are difficult to truly simulate the complex corrosion environment under actual working conditions. For example, a simulation device for the corrosion test of metals in a dynamic environment disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201820649525.1 includes a main frame.

Symmetrical notches are provided on the side walls of both sides of the isolation area. The support rods are respectively inserted and movably clamped in the second chute, the notches, and the third chute. A scanner body is provided above one end of the bottom plate. One end of the lead screw is axially connected to one side of the cavity through a bushing. The lead screw nut is slidably clamped in the cavity. A first chute communicating with the cavity is provided at the lower end of the main frame. The connecting block is slidably sleeved through the first chute. The spray heads are provided on both sides of the clamp. The pipeline is communicated with an external water pump. Cabinet doors are symmetrically provided on the side walls of both sides of the spraying area. The two groups of cabinet doors are respectively provided below the two ends of the third chute. The upper cross plate and the lower cross plate have the same shape and size. The widths of the second chute, the notches, and the third chute are all the same as the cross-sectional diameter of the support rod. The lower part of the main frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper cross plate through a support rod. It can simulate the working environment of metal materials, but is not suitable for studying the corrosion behavior of seawater filters under complex service environments such as corrosion, scouring, and microbial attachment.A corrosion test device based on dynamic simulation disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 202310270677.6 includes a spiral lifting rod and a guide rod fixedly arranged vertically side by side on a base. A fixed block is jointly installed at the lower parts of the spiral lifting rod and the guide rod. The fixed block is horizontally fixedly connected to a reaction kettle. An lifting block is slidably installed at the upper parts of the spiral lifting rod and the guide rod. The lifting block is in transmission connection with a spiral turbine mechanism. The lifting block is horizontally fixedly connected to a cover plate. An electric heating tape is wrapped around the outer circumferential surface of the reaction kettle body. A drain pipe is communicated with the bottom plate of the reaction kettle. An upper magnetic rotor is installed on the upper surface of the axis of the cover plate. The upper magnetic rotor is in transmission connection with a frequency conversion motor. A lower magnetic rotor is installed on the lower surface of the axis of the cover plate. A hanging rack is hung downward from the lower magnetic rotor. The hanging rack is connected with a plurality of test pieces through insulating gaskets. The cover plate is provided with a plurality of vertical through holes. A temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a pressure gauge, an air inlet pipe, a pressure relief safety valve and an exhaust pipe are respectively installed in each through hole.

Each test piece is provided with double ear holes at the upper part. It takes into account the relative speed between the corrosion test solution and the test sample, and improves the accuracy of test data. A dynamic corrosion experiment simulation device disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201610096668.X is composed of three parts: a refrigeration area, a water pump area and a test area. The main working part of the refrigeration area is a condenser, whose function is to refrigerate and keep the water temperature constant, and the temperature change can be adjusted within a certain range. The water tank in the water pump area is used to store seawater. The water pump provides power for the seawater to wash the surface of the sample at a certain speed. The test area is used for the installation of the sample, electrochemical testing, the change of the test surface angle of the sample and the transmission of the mechanical vibration device. The condenser used in the refrigeration area is based on the physical refrigeration principle of Freon. The vaporization and liquefaction of Freon can efficiently cool down and realize recycling, with a fast refrigeration speed and high efficiency. The water tank material is stainless steel, with good corrosion resistance and impact resistance. The water pump in the water pump area is a submersible pump placed in water to achieve a higher impact speed under high pressure. The upper surface of the water tank is sealed with an acrylic transparent cover. An acrylic transparent cover handle is installed to facilitate relevant operations on the internal components of the box when the experiment stops. The water level in the water tank can be controlled by increasing or decreasing the number of stainless steel baffles between the water pump area and the test area. The relative angle between the sample surface and the water flow can be changed by rotating the fixture. The relative angle between the sample surface and the water flow can be accurately obtained by measuring the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation of the fixture. The position of the sample fixture in different directions can be adjusted to adapt to different sample sizes.Through an electrochemical method, it explores the corrosion behavior of ships in seawater from four aspects: temperature, seawater velocity, erosion angle, and ship vibration frequency. However, the above two patent documents do not consider the differences in seawater salinity, dissolved oxygen content, and sediment content in different sea areas and at different service depths. Moreover, the targeting of the specimens is not high enough to meet the test requirements for local corrosion sites. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop and design a corrosion detection test device for seawater filters to simulate the corrosion medium environment of seawater filters and investigate marine environmental factors such as temperature, dissolved oxygen content, salinity, and sediment content. Summary of the Invention:

[0034] The following further illustrates the present invention through embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.
[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] The main structure of the seawater filter corrosion detection test device related to this embodiment includes a corrosion test chamber 1, a circulation pipeline 2, an electrochemical workstation 3, a controller 4, and a regulator 5; the corrosion test chamber 1 is respectively connected to the circulation pipeline 2, the electrochemical workstation 3, the controller 4, and the regulator 5, as Figure 1 shown;
[0037] The corrosion test chamber 1 has a liquid inlet 11 and a liquid outlet 12, and is internally provided with a rotating blade 13, a test clamp 14, and a high-pressure nozzle 15, as Figure 2As shown, the vertical height of the liquid inlet 11 is higher than that of the liquid outlet 12. The rotating blade 13 is arranged on the side wall. The test clips 14 are arranged in pairs and increased accordingly according to the number of specimens. The high-pressure nozzle 15 is arranged on the top.
[0038] A water pump 21 and a flow regulating valve 22 are arranged on the circulation pipeline 2. The water pump 21 is located in front of the flow regulating valve 22 (in the seawater flow direction).
[0039] The reference electrode 31 and the auxiliary electrode 32 arranged on the electrochemical workstation 3 are placed in the corrosion test chamber 1. Both the reference electrode 31 and the auxiliary electrode 32 are arranged at the bottom of the corrosion test chamber 1 through screws 33.
[0040] The sensor module 41 arranged on the controller 4 is placed in the corrosion test chamber 1.
[0041] The regulator 5 is connected to the controller 4 to share data.
[0042] The seawater filter corrosion detection test device involved in this embodiment is used to simulate the service environment of the seawater filter and test the corrosion behavior of a certain type of stainless steel marine seawater filter under different conditions. The corrosion medium is the natural seawater of Aoshan Bay. The test process is as follows:
[0043] First, fix the seawater filter specimen in the corrosion test chamber 1 through the test clip 15, and screw the platinum electrode and the saturated calomel electrode with pre-welded screws 33 into the electrode slots at the bottom of the corrosion test chamber 1 respectively.
[0044] Then, adjust the water pump 21 to pump seawater into the corrosion test chamber 1.
[0045] Check the sensors and regulators such as temperature, salinity, and flow rate built in the corrosion test chamber 1.
[0046] Adjust the rotation speed of the rotating impeller 13 and the pressure of the high-pressure nozzle 14 to simulate the seawater scouring service environment with different high pressures and different rotation speeds.
[0047] Through the controller 4, adjust the temperature to 25 °C, the dissolved oxygen content to 7 mg / L, and the salinity to 35‰ to test the corrosion data of the seawater filter specimen at different flow rates.
[0048] Finally, start the electrochemical workstation 3, set the program, and monitor the open circuit potential, electrochemical impedance, and potentiodynamic polarization curve.
[0049] After 60 days, the test ends. Take out the seawater filter specimen from the corrosion test chamber 1. The microscopic morphology is as Figure 3 shown. The monitoring data exported from the data analysis software is shown in Table 1:
[0050] Flow velocity (m / s) 1 2 5 Corrosion rate (mm / a) 0.0798 0.1224 0.1456
[0051] It can be seen that the corrosion rate gradually increases with the increase of the flow rate.
[0052] The law of the corrosion rate changing with the flow rate is calculated by the weight loss test method, which is consistent with the conclusion obtained in this embodiment.
