Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aeroengines, and particularly to a simulation experiment system for the working conditions of aeroengine thermal barrier coatings. Background Technique

[0002] In the field of aeroengines, improving thermal efficiency and reliability is the core pursuit. High-temperature components of engines face extremely harsh working conditions, and thermal barrier coatings have emerged and become a key technology. Traditional engine materials are limited in performance at high temperatures. Thermal barrier coatings can effectively insulate heat, reduce the temperature of components, reduce the amount of cooling air, and improve combustion efficiency and thrust-to-weight ratio. However, the working conditions of aeroengines are complex. For example, the temperature in the combustion chamber exceeds 1500 °C, and there is high-speed gas (about 500 m / s) erosion and a pressure of several MPa at the turbine. Moreover, the thermal cycle is frequent, and the oxygen content and humidity in the atmosphere vary, resulting in the easy failure of thermal barrier coatings, which seriously threatens the safety and life of engines. Previously, most experimental systems focused on simulating single or simple combined working conditions and were difficult to accurately reflect the actual service environment and could not meet the R & D requirements of thermal barrier coatings. Therefore, a simulation experiment system for the working conditions of aeroengine thermal barrier coatings is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a simulation experiment system for the working conditions of aeroengine thermal barrier coatings to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial option.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows: A simulation experiment system for the working conditions of aeroengine thermal barrier coatings includes a high-temperature thermal cycle module, a high-speed gas flow erosion module, a high-pressure loading module, an atmosphere control module, and a data monitoring and acquisition module;

[0005] The high-temperature thermal cycle module realizes rapid heating and cooling to simulate the thermal environment;

[0006] The high-speed gas flow erosion module generates high-speed gas flow to simulate gas erosion;

[0007] The high-pressure loading module applies pressure to simulate mechanical stress;

[0008] The atmosphere control module regulates the atmosphere to simulate the gas environment in the engine;

[0009] The data monitoring and acquisition module monitors parameters in real time to provide data support for research.

[0010] Further preferably, the high-temperature thermal cycle module includes a heating sub-module and a temperature control sub-module. The heating sub-module adopts a composite heating technology combining induction heating and resistance heating to create a fast and stable heating and cooling environment in a high-vacuum chamber. The induction coil is customized according to the geometry of the specimen and surrounds the specimen. An induced current is generated inside the specimen through an alternating magnetic field to achieve rapid heating. At the same time, resistance heating wires are reasonably arranged in the chamber for precise temperature compensation and fine-tuning on the basis of induction heating to ensure uniform heating of the specimen. The temperature control sub-module uses an advanced PID temperature controller and a high-precision temperature sensor to achieve precise temperature control. When simulating the working conditions of the thermal barrier coating in an aero-engine combustion chamber, the system can quickly raise the specimen from room temperature to 1200 °C within 10 - 30 seconds, and the cooling rate can reach 50 - 100 °C / second. After multiple thermal cycle tests, the microstructure of the coating is analyzed and it is found that even after more than 1000 thermal cycles, the crystal structure of the coating still remains relatively intact, and the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate only decreases by about 5%, effectively avoiding the cracking and spalling phenomena of the coating caused by thermal stress, providing key experimental conditions for in-depth study of the thermal fatigue performance of the coating.

[0011] Further preferably, the high-speed gas flow scouring module includes a gas flow generation sub-module and a scouring experiment and coating erosion analysis sub-module. The gas flow generation sub-module uses a design combining a high-pressure gas drive system and a Laval nozzle to generate a high-speed gas flow with a speed of up to 0.5 - 2.0 Ma. The high-pressure gas first accumulates energy in the drive chamber and then is accelerated through the special structure of the Laval nozzle, so that the gas flow reaches the required high-speed state at the nozzle outlet. In order to ensure the uniformity of the gas flow, a numerical simulation optimization technology is adopted in the nozzle design process to finely design the internal flow channel of the nozzle, so that the deviation of the gas flow velocity uniformity at the outlet is controlled within ±5%. In the scouring experiment and coating erosion analysis sub-module, the distance between the nozzle outlet and the specimen is accurately set at 50 - 100 mm to ensure that the high-speed gas flow can scour and simulate the coating at an appropriate angle and intensity.

[0012] Further preferably, the high-pressure loading module includes a loading system sub-module and a thermal-mechanical coupling experiment sub-module. The loading system sub-module is based on a hydraulic servo system and a customized fixture design, and can apply a pressure of 50-200 MPa to the specimen. The hydraulic servo system drives the loading piston to apply a stable pressure to the specimen by precisely controlling the pressure and flow rate of the hydraulic oil. The customized fixture is designed according to specimens of different shapes and sizes to ensure that the pressure can be evenly distributed on the surface of the specimen and avoid causing additional damage to the specimen during the loading process. The thermal-mechanical coupling experiment sub-module, when a pressure of 100 MPa is applied to the coating and high-temperature heating is carried out simultaneously, it is found by measuring the hardness of the coating through nano-indentation technology that the hardness of the coating has increased by about 10%-15% compared with when no pressure is applied.

[0013] Further preferably, the atmosphere control module includes a gas regulation sub-module and an oxidation experiment and coating antioxidant performance evaluation sub-module. The gas regulation sub-module can precisely regulate the atmosphere environment in the chamber with the help of a high-precision gas flow controller and an advanced vacuum system. The gas flow controller can precisely control the flow rates of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and simulated aviation fuel combustion products, and achieve precise regulation of the oxygen content (5%-20%), humidity (0-10%RH), and gas composition in the chamber. For the oxidation experiment and coating antioxidant performance evaluation, the oxidation experiment and coating antioxidant performance evaluation sub-module sets the oxygen content in the chamber to 10%, maintains the temperature at 1000°C, and after 100 hours of oxidation treatment, it is found by measuring the oxidation weight gain of the coating through thermogravimetric analysis that the oxidation weight gain rate of the coating is about 0.1-0.3 mg / cm 2 ·h.

[0014] Further preferably, the data monitoring and acquisition module includes a monitoring sub-module and a data acquisition and analysis sub-module. The monitoring sub-module integrates advanced monitoring devices such as an infrared thermal imager, high-temperature strain gauges, high-precision pressure sensors, and laser displacement sensors. The infrared thermal imager can non-contactedly monitor the temperature field distribution on the coating surface in real time, with a temperature resolution of up to 0.1 °C, providing intuitive data for studying the temperature changes of the coating during thermal cycling and thermal shock. The high-temperature strain gauges are directly pasted on the coating surface or the specimen substrate to measure the strain of the coating during stress and temperature changes, with a measurement accuracy of up to ±10 με. The pressure sensors are installed in the loading system and the chamber to monitor the magnitude and changes of the pressure in real time, with an accuracy of up to ±2 MPa. The laser displacement sensor accurately monitors the surface displacement of the coating during the experiment by emitting a laser beam and measuring the displacement change of the reflected light, with an accuracy of up to ±0.01 mm. The data acquisition and analysis sub-module transmits the data collected by all monitoring devices to the computer through a high-speed data acquisition card and performs real-time analysis and processing by specially developed data processing software. The data processing software adopts advanced signal processing algorithms and data analysis models, capable of performing fusion analysis on multi-source data, providing strong technical support for the maintenance of aero-engines and the life prediction of thermal barrier coatings.

[0015] Further preferably, when studying the heat insulation performance of the thermal barrier coating, the calculation formula for the heat flux is as follows:

[0016]

[0017] Where q is the heat flux (W / m 2 ), k is the thermal conductivity (W / (m·K)), is the temperature gradient (K / m). In the experimental system, by measuring the temperature difference on both sides of the coating and knowing the coating thickness, the heat flux can be calculated to evaluate the heat insulation effect of the coating. For example, in the high-temperature thermal cycling module, when the temperature on one side of the coating is T 1 = 1200 °C (1473 K), and the temperature on the other side is T 2 = 800 °C (1073 K), the coating thickness x = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m. If the known thermal conductivity of the coating k = 1.5 W / (m·K), then the heat flux is:

[0018]

[0019] Further preferably, in the high-altitude airflow erosion module, the following formula is used to estimate the impact force of the airflow on the coating:

[0020]

[0021] In the case of horizontal erosion, h remains unchanged, and it can be simplified to:

[0022]

[0023] Among them, p is the static pressure (Pa), ρ is the gas density (kg / m 3 ), and v is the gas flow velocity (m / s). For example, when the gas flow velocity v 1 = 500 m / s and the gas density ρ = 1.2 kg / m 3 , assuming the static pressure p 1 = 10 5 Pa, when the gas flow velocity at a certain point on the coating surface drops to v 2 = 300 m / s, the pressure change at this point is:

[0024]

[0025] The pressure difference Δp = p 2 - p 1 = 96000 Pa. The impact force can be calculated based on the pressure difference and the coating area.

[0026] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, it has the following advantages:

[0027] The multi-condition high-precision simulation ability of the present invention can accurately evaluate the coating performance, helping R & D personnel optimize the composition and structure. In terms of quality inspection, strictly simulating the working conditions can quickly and accurately detect coating defects and weak points, ensuring product quality and reducing the defective rate. Considering the cost-benefit, it reduces the number of tests and component replacement costs caused by coating problems in engine R & D, shortens the R & D cycle, greatly improves the performance and reliability of aero-engines, strongly promotes the development of the aerospace industry, and lays a solid foundation for the development of advanced engines.
