Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material testing and analysis, and particularly relates to a method for analyzing the scale effect of creep strain measurement of metal materials. Background Art
[0002] As is well known, the inhomogeneity of the microstructure of materials will lead to differences in macroscopic creep deformation. In the creep test of metal materials, the creep strain is obtained by the overall deformation of the test section of the specimen and the initial test section length. This method of calculating creep strain results in differences in the measurement and its dispersion of creep strain for specimens of different sizes.
[0003] Due to limitations such as test materials and equipment, it is difficult to conduct creep performance tests using a single specimen size or form; therefore, it is necessary to master the differences between creep strains or creep curves obtained from specimens of different sizes to study the relationship between creep strains of specimens of different sizes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for analyzing the scale effect of creep strain measurement of metal materials to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention specifically provides the following technical solutions: A method for analyzing the scale effect of creep strain measurement of metal materials, comprising the following steps: Step 001: Divide the test section S of the creep specimen under a certain stress state into reference test sections C composed of multiple materials with the same stress state and the same process. Assume that the creep strain of the test section S at a given creep time is approximately n S the average value of the creep strains of the reference test sections C at the same creep time; Step 002: Based on the assumption in Step 001 and the normal distribution, obtain the relationship between the creep strains measured from specimens of different sizes at the same probability under the same stress state.
[0006] Further, in Step 001, the reference test section C is the smallest scale with statistical distribution characteristics of the creep strain measurement results of the material.
[0007] Further, in Step 001, n S is V S / V C the integer part of, V S and V C are the volumes of the test section S and the reference test section C respectively.
[0008] Further, in step 002, the following steps are included: Step 0021, calculate the creep strain of the reference test section C ε C The probability when it does not exceed a certain value, that is, the survival rate; Step 0022, calculate the relationship between the creep strain of the test section S and the creep strain of the reference test section C under the same survival rate; Step 0023, calculate the relationship between the creep strain of the test section L and the creep strain of the reference test section C under the same survival rate; Step 0024, calculate the relationship between the creep strains of the test section S and the test section L under the same survival rate.
[0009] Further, in step 0021, assume that the creep strain of the reference test section C ε C obeys a normal distribution with a mean value μ C and a standard deviation σ C , that is: ; where Φ() is the standard normal distribution function; From equation (1), calculate the probability that the creep strain of the reference test section C ε C does not exceed a certain value, that is, the survival rate.
[0010] Further, in step 0022, according to the statistical analysis theory, the measured creep strain of the creep specimen test section S obeys a normal distribution and satisfies: ; ; From equations (2) and (3), it can be obtained that ; Then, under the same survival rate, the relationship between the creep strain of the test section S and the creep strain of the reference test section C satisfies: ; That is .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for analyzing the scale effect of creep strain measurement of metal materials, and the specific steps are as follows: Step 001: Assume that the test section S of a creep specimen under a certain stress state (such as uniaxial tension, compression) can be regarded as composed of multiple reference test sections C of the same material and process under the same stress state.
[0019] The reference test section C is the smallest scale for which the creep strain measurement results of this material have statistical distribution characteristics (such as the length of a cylindrical specimen with the same cross-section, the cross-sectional area of a specimen with the same height), then the creep strain of the test section S at a given creep time is approximately n S the average value of the creep strains of
[0020] Among them, n S is V S / V C the integer part of, V S and V C are the volumes of the test section S and the reference test section C, respectively.
[0021] Step 002: Assume that the creep strain ε C of the reference test section C follows a normal distribution with a mean μ C and a standard deviation σ C , that is: ; where Φ() is the standard normal distribution function.
[0022] From equation (1), the probability that the creep strain ε C of the reference test section C does not exceed a certain value, that is, the survival rate, can be calculated.
[0023] According to the statistical analysis theory, the creep strain measurement results of the test section S of the creep specimen follow a normal distribution and satisfy: ; ; From equations (2) and (3), it can be obtained that ; Under the same probability (survival rate), the creep strain of the test section S and the creep strain of the reference test section C satisfy: ; That is: ; Similarly, the creep strain of the test section L and the creep strain of the reference test section C satisfy: ; Wherein, V L is the volume of the test section L.
[0024] From equations (6) and (7), we get: ; It can be seen from equation (2) that , so there is: ; Equation (9) gives the relationship between the creep strains measured from specimens of different sizes under the same stress state and the same probability (survival rate).
[0025] It can be seen from equations (2) and (3) that the creep strain measured using a large-size specimen (i.e., a specimen with a large test section volume) has relatively less dispersion than that of a small-size specimen, but their means are the same.
[0026] Step 003, taking the compressive creep strain measurement results of a Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy specimen with a test section of 25 mm at room temperature as an example to predict the compressive creep strain of a Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy specimen with a test section of 12.5 mm under different survival rates, a specific description is given as follows.
[0027] First, use an MTS Landmark testing machine to Figure 1 perform a 50-hour compressive creep experiment on the titanium alloy specimen shown at room temperature. The stress level is selected as the compressive yield strength of 912 MPa, and a total of 3 parallel experiments are carried out. All experiments are completed on the same machine.
[0028] During the experiment, an extensometer with a gauge length of 25 mm is used to record the deformation. The relationship between the creep strain and time of the titanium alloy specimen obtained is as shown by the solid line in Figure 2 ; it can be seen that at a given creep time, the compressive creep strain of the titanium alloy specimen shows obvious dispersion.
[0029] Select Figure 2 the creep strains of different specimens at 0.1 h, 0.2 h, 0.3 h,..., 50 h in to perform fitting to obtain the normal distribution parameters; among them, the mean μ and standard deviationσ Calculate according to formulas (10) and (11): ; ; wherein, n is the total number of test specimens, x i is the creep strain data of the specimen i at a certain typical time.
[0030] Calculate the creep strains of the specimens with a test section of 25 mm at 0.1 h, 0.2 h, 0.3 h, ……, 50 h under 50% and 90% survival rates according to the normal distribution function, and then predict the creep strains of the specimens with a test section of 12.5 mm under 50% and 90% survival rates according to formula (9). Connect the creep strains at the same survival rate at different times to obtain the predicted P-C-T (Probabilistic-Creep strain-Time) curve as shown by the dashed line in Figure 2 the figure.
[0031] It can be seen that the predicted creep curve of the specimen with a 12.5 mm test section under a 50% survival rate is the average of the creep curves of the 3 specimens with a 25 mm test section; the predicted creep curve of the specimen with a 12.5 mm test section under a 90% survival rate is higher than the creep curve of the specimen with a 25 mm test section.
[0032] Figure 2 It shows that the dispersion of the measured results of the compressive creep strain of the specimen with a 12.5 mm test section is higher than that of the specimen with a 25 mm test section.
[0033] During the experimental verification for different sizes and different experimental environments, it is found that the method for analyzing the scale effect of creep strain measurement of the metal materials disclosed in this application mainly focuses on the overall creep deformation difference at the beginning and slow growth stage of the creep deformation of the metal materials. Among them, the influence of high-temperature surface oxidation generated during the creep deformation process should not be too large or can be ignored.
[0034] For the third stage of the tensile creep of metal materials, the analysis method disclosed in this application may not be applicable.
[0035] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of this application and are not used to limit this application. The protection scope of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements within the essence and protection scope of this application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of this application.
