Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of performance testing, and particularly to a method and system for testing the micropore performance of rare earth microalloyed copper tube billets. Background Art

[0002] By adding trace rare earth elements, rare earth microalloyed copper tubes can refine grains and improve strength and corrosion resistance. However, during their preparation process, micropore defects are likely to form inside the billets. The formation involves multiple steps such as melting, solidification, and processing. During the melting stage, rare earth elements react with residual gases in the melt to form inclusions. If the degassing process is improper, gas retention forms dispersed pores. During the solidification process, due to the reduced fluidity of the melt and composition segregation, shrinkage cavity defects are caused. The high strain during the processing stage causes a sharp increase in the dislocation density, and micropores nucleate and expand in the stress concentration areas, directly weakening the plasticity of the material.

[0003] The existence of micropores leads to a decrease in the density of the material, significantly increasing the uneven stress distribution. The abnormal coarsening of grains during the annealing process further exacerbates the risk of performance deterioration. Such pore defects may expand into crack sources during subsequent processing, resulting in a significant decline in the mechanical properties of the material, severely restricting its engineering applications. In related technologies, there are obvious deficiencies in the analysis of the detection of micropore defects and the associated performance of rare earth microalloyed copper tubes. It can only qualitatively observe surface defects through metallographic analysis, is difficult to quantify the three-dimensional pore distribution, and is also difficult to reflect the synergistic effect between pores and surface performance.

[0061] Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of the micro-void performance test system for rare earth micro-alloyed copper tube billets in the embodiments of the present invention. Specific embodiments

[0062] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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 the embodiments.

[0063] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the micro-void performance test method for rare earth micro-alloyed copper tube billets includes the following steps:

[0064] Select several rare earth micro-alloyed copper tube blanks with different contents as samples, and group the samples;

[0065] Conduct surface defect quantitative tests, hardness gradient tests, tensile tests, and pressure burst tests on each group of samples respectively, and obtain performance correlation parameters. The performance correlation parameters include melting porosity parameters, recrystallization parameters, dislocation density parameters, and defect sensitivity parameters;

[0066] Construct a quality-performance mapping matrix based on the performance correlation parameters, and use the principal component analysis method to extract the key influencing factors of performance;

[0067] Construct a neural network architecture model and train it to output a defect-performance sensitivity map and a process sensitivity map, and further obtain dynamic process correction suggestions.

[0068] The present invention realizes the full-process coupling analysis of the subsequent three-dimensional distribution of micro-voids, dislocation evolution, and mechanical properties by conducting surface defect quantitative tests, hardness gradient tests, tensile tests, and pressure burst tests on rare earth micro-alloyed copper tube billets and collecting data; through the principal component analysis technology, the key influencing factors that dominate the performance fluctuations are extracted from several performance correlation parameters, and the mapping relationship between process-defect-performance is constructed through a neural network model, so as to realize the real-time dynamic optimization feedback of process parameters.

[0069] By selecting rare earth micro-alloyed pipes with different contents as samples and grouping them, different rare earth gradients can be covered, and the relationship between micro-void defects and performance under different rare earth addition conditions can be studied comprehensively and systematically, providing rich and diverse data samples for the subsequent construction of the mapping matrix and model training, and enhancing the reliability and universality of the results.

[0070] By conducting surface defect quantification tests, hardness gradient tests, tensile tests, and pressure burst tests on each group of specimens and obtaining performance correlation parameters, different tests can characterize the performance of specimens from different perspectives. The surface defect quantification test can directly obtain quantitative information on surface defects such as microvoids; the hardness gradient test can reflect the differences and changes in the internal microstructure of materials; the tensile test is used to measure mechanical properties such as the strength and plasticity of materials; the pressure burst test can simulate the load-bearing capacity and rupture conditions of materials under internal pressure in actual working conditions; the performance correlation parameters such as melting porosity parameters, recrystallization parameters, dislocation density parameters, and defect sensitivity parameters obtained from the above test results provide key data support for determining the relationship between microvoid defects and performance in the follow-up.

[0071] The quality-performance mapping matrix can establish the relationship between the characteristics of specimens and different performance correlation parameters, such as rare earth content, process treatment methods of copper tubes, etc. And through the principal component analysis method, the data can be dimensionally reduced and features can be extracted, so as to extract the key performance influencing factors that have a major impact on performance from multiple performance correlation parameters, simplify the data structure, which is conducive to the accurate construction and analysis of subsequent models, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of model training.

[0072] By constructing a neural network architecture model and conducting a large amount of data training, the relationship between microvoid defects, performance, and process of copper tubes can be explored. The output defect-performance sensitivity map can intuitively display the sensitivity of different microvoid defect characteristics to various performance indicators, and the process sensitivity map determines the influence of each process parameter on the generation of defects. By analyzing the above maps, dynamic process parameter correction suggestions can be formed to achieve dynamic feedback and continuous improvement of the process.

[0073] On the basis of the above embodiments, several copper tube blanks with different contents of rare earth microalloying are selected as specimens, and the specimens are grouped including the following steps:

[0074] Equal amounts of rolled tubes, drawn tubes after tandem drawing, and tubes with different rare earth contents after annealing are selected, and each tube is intercepted along the radial and longitudinal directions to form several tube specimens; thus, several tube specimens with different rare earth contents, different processing states, and different interception directions are obtained;

[0075] At least one rolled tube specimen, drawn tube specimen after tandem drawing, and tube specimen after annealing are respectively selected as an experimental group to form at least four experimental groups and a control group; at the same time, the corresponding control group specimens can also be determined according to research needs. For example, an unprocessed copper tube blank with a certain specific rare earth content can be selected as the control group, or a processed tube under a certain standard process parameter can be used as the control group for comparative analysis with other experimental groups.

[0076] By selecting copper tube billets with different rare earth contents at different processing stages such as after rolling, joint drawing, and annealing, and cutting samples along different directions to form multiple experimental groups and control groups, it is possible to comprehensively and systematically evaluate the micropore defects at different positions of rare earth microalloyed copper tubes under different processing conditions and the relationship between defects and performance, providing rich and accurate data support for subsequent analysis of the causes of defects and process optimization; specifically, rolling, joint drawing, and annealing are key processing stages of tubes, which have an important influence on the microstructure and properties of rare earth microalloyed copper tubes. For example, the rolling process mainly affects the deformation and organizational density of the tube, the joint drawing process may introduce new stress and microcracks, and the annealing process may promote crystal growth and the healing or expansion of defects, etc.

[0077] In addition, this method of selecting pipe samples can fully consider the various variable factors in the production process of micro-alloyed copper tubes, so that the monitoring results accurately reflect the actual situation, avoid the deviation of the test results caused by the single sample selection, and improve the accuracy and representativeness of the test; selecting pipes with different rare earth contents and cutting samples along the radial and longitudinal directions will help to study the influence of the uneven distribution of rare earth content in different processing directions on the performance, as well as the formation characteristics of micropore defects in different directions; thereby helping to more accurately grasp the quality status and performance characteristics of rare earth micro-alloyed copper tubes, clarify the influence of different processing parameters on the performance and defects of copper tubes, and provide a more targeted basis for optimizing production process parameters.

[0078] By setting up a control group for comparison with the experimental group, we can clearly see the specific impact of different rare earth contents and processing technologies on the performance and defects of copper tubes, so as to more accurately evaluate the effect of rare earth microalloying and the optimization effect of various process parameters, and provide a basis and reference for the subsequent output of the optimal rare earth addition amount and processing technology plan.

[0079] Based on the above embodiment, a quantitative surface defect test is performed on the sample to obtain the melting porosity parameters, including the following steps:

[0080] A pipe sample from one of the experimental groups is selected, and each pipe sample is subjected to surface treatment. Surface treatment methods such as chemical cleaning and mechanical polishing can be used to remove impurities such as oil stains and oxides on the surface, making the sample surface cleaner and smoother, which is conducive to the accuracy of subsequent three-dimensional morphology scanning and improves the reliability of the test results.

[0081] Perform three-dimensional topography scanning on the surface-treated pipe samples, and set several detection regions along the circumferential direction. A high-precision three-dimensional topography scanner can be used to scan the surface of the treated pipe samples to obtain the three-dimensional topography data of their surfaces, which can visually present the microscopic topography of the sample surfaces, including information such as the shape, size, and distribution of micro-holes, providing basic data for further extracting surface defect parameters. Considering the possible non-uniformity of the pipes in the circumferential direction, multiple detection regions are set to comprehensively consider the detection results of each region, ensuring that each detection region can be accurately scanned, more accurately reflecting the overall surface defect situation of the sample, and avoiding detection errors caused by the particularity of local regions.

[0082] Determine the extraction of surface defect parameters in the detection regions to obtain the number of micro-holes per unit area and the proportion of pore area , and determine the melting porosity parameters by the following formula :

[0083] ;

[0084] where, represents the number of micro-holes per unit area, represents the proportion of pore area.

[0085] By analyzing and processing the three-dimensional topography data obtained by scanning, determine the surface defect parameters in each detection region, including information such as the number of micro-holes and the pore area, and determine the melting porosity parameters according to the above formula. Reflect the defect situation on the surface of the pipe sample through the melting porosity parameters, which is convenient for subsequent determination of the correlation with the performance of the copper pipe.

[0086] Through steps such as surface treatment of the sample, three-dimensional topography scanning, and setting multiple detection regions in the circumferential direction, the number of micro-holes per unit area and the proportion of pore area can be accurately obtained, and then the melting porosity parameters can be accurately determined, providing a quantitative basis for subsequent analysis of the influence of micro-hole defects on the performance of the copper pipe. And during the test process, multiple detection regions are set along the circumferential direction, avoiding the one-sidedness caused by only detecting in local regions, being able to more comprehensively reflect the defect situation on the surface of the pipe sample, and making the detection results more representative and accurate.

[0087] On the basis of the above embodiments, perform a hardness gradient test on the sample to obtain recrystallization parameters, including the following steps:

[0088] Select a pipe sample from an experimental group for three-dimensional topography scanning. Three-dimensional topography scanning can visually present the microscopic topography of the sample surface, provide a basis for selecting a suitable test grid, and also help observe the surface characteristics of the dense and sparse hole areas. Before three-dimensional scanning, the pipe sample can be surface-treated to remove impurities such as oil stains and oxides on the surface, making the surface cleaner and smoother, providing a good foundation for subsequent three-dimensional topography scanning and hardness gradient testing, and improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0089] In the scanned atlas of the pipe sample, an equal number of test grids are selected in the dense and sparse hole areas respectively. Ensure that the same number of test data are obtained in the dense and sparse hole areas, making the statistical results more comparable, being able to more accurately reflect the hardness distribution in different areas, and further analyzing the differences in recrystallization behavior.

[0090] Adopt a nested indentation array, and arrange a number of indentation points equidistantly from the hole center to the boundary and the matrix area. It can systematically obtain the hardness information at different positions, avoid inaccurate detection results caused by uneven distribution of indentation points, and also better observe the law of hardness change with position.

[0091] Apply a set load and holding time to the pipe sample, and record the strain field around the indentation at the same time. By recording and analyzing the strain field around the indentation, the deformation information of the sample in the local area can be obtained, and further understand the relationship between the mechanical properties and recrystallization behavior of the material and the indentation situation.

[0092] Obtain the standard deviation of the hardness of the pipe sample according to the statistics and calculation of the strain field around the indentation and the average hardness , and determine the recrystallization parameter according to the following formula :

[0093] ;

[0094] where represents the standard deviation of hardness, represents the average hardness.

[0095] The recrystallization parameter reflects the micro-inhomogeneity of the material and the recrystallization state of the matrix. By determining the recrystallization parameter, the influence of each processing parameter on the recrystallization process can be determined. Specifically, for example, when the recrystallization parameter is less than 5%, fine equiaxed grains are formed, constituting a fully recrystallized area; when the recrystallization parameter is between 5% and 10%, a mixed crystal structure is formed, constituting a partially recrystallized area; when the recrystallization parameter exceeds 10%, the residual deformation texture remains, forming an unrecrystallized area. Further analysis can determine the influence of processing parameters on the recrystallization process, providing a basis for determining the influence correlation of copper pipe performance.

[0096] By selecting an equal number of test grids in the dense and sparse areas of the holes, the non-uniformity of the internal structure of the pipe material is fully considered, enabling the detection results to more truly reflect the overall recrystallization of the pipe material and avoiding detection deviations caused by the particularity of local areas. By using means such as indentation arrays, the standard deviation and average value of the hardness of the pipe specimen can be accurately obtained, and then the recrystallization parameters can be determined.

[0097] On the basis of the above embodiments, a tensile test is performed on the specimen to obtain dislocation density parameters, including the following steps:

[0098] Select a pipe specimen of an experimental group for test preparation operations. Strain gauges are attached along the axial or circumferential direction of the pipe specimen, and temperature compensation gauges are pasted on the clamping ends of the pipe specimen; the strain gauges are used to monitor the strain changes of the pipe specimen during the tensile process in real time and provide accurate strain data. The temperature compensation gauges are used to eliminate the influence of ambient temperature changes on strain measurement and ensure the accuracy of the measurement results;

[0099] Perform preloading on the pipe specimen to eliminate the clearance and apply a stress load to cause the pipe specimen to undergo strain; preloading can eliminate the clearance between the testing machine and the specimen, ensure more accurate and stable force transmission during formal loading, and improve the reliability of the test results; at the same time, record the shear modulus of the pipe specimen during the test process, Burgers vector and dislocation density per unit volume;

[0100] When the strain degree of the pipe specimen reaches the set value, stop the tensile test and determine the dislocation density parameters according to the following formula :

[0101] ;

[0102] wherein, represents a material constant, represents the shear modulus, represents the Burgers vector, represents the dislocation density per unit volume.

[0103] By attaching strain gauges to the pipe specimen and recording parameters such as the shear modulus, Burgers vector, and dislocation density per unit volume during the tensile test process, the dislocation density parameters can be accurately obtained, the deformation degree and internal defect conditions experienced by the microalloyed copper pipe material during processing can be determined, thereby predicting the service life of the copper pipe in actual use and providing a basis for optimizing subsequent processing process parameters.

[0104] On the basis of the above embodiments, a pressure burst test is carried out on the specimen to obtain the defect sensitivity parameters, including the following steps:

[0105] Select a pipe specimen of an experimental group for test preparation operations. Enclose the pipe specimen axially or circumferentially in multiple protective layers and determine the calibration area. The multiple protective layers can prevent debris from flying when the pipe specimen ruptures during the burst test, protect the safety of the test equipment and operators, and also help to more accurately observe and record the failure process of the specimen. The determination of the calibration area can clarify the key observation parts of the specimen in the test, ensure that the collected data is representative and comparable, and facilitate the subsequent unified analysis and comparison of the test results of different specimens;

[0106] Raise the applied pressure from the initial value to 80% of the theoretical burst pressure and maintain it until the strain rate of the pipe specimen is less than the set value, then increase the applied pressure to the theoretical burst pressure , until the pipe specimen fails. First raising the pressure to 80% of the theoretical burst pressure and maintaining it can initially observe the deformation and strain of the specimen. When the strain rate decreases to the set value and then increasing the pressure to the theoretical burst pressure to make the specimen fail, this step-by-step pressurization method can clearly determine the mechanical behavior and defect development process of the specimen at different pressure stages, and avoid the specimen rupturing instantaneously due to suddenly applying too high pressure, making it difficult to obtain complete test data.

[0107] Collect the actual burst pressure during the above process , and determine the defect sensitivity parameters according to the following formula :

[0108] ;

[0109] ;

[0110] Wherein, represents the actual burst pressure, represents the theoretical burst pressure, represents the wall thickness of the pipe specimen, represents the tensile strength of the pipe specimen, represents the pipe diameter of the pipe specimen.

[0111] The actual bursting pressure can be obtained by collecting data from a pressure sensor, which reflects the actual pressure-bearing capacity of the specimen. The wall thickness and pipe diameter are the geometric size parameters and structural size parameters of the pipe specimen respectively. By comprehensively considering the influence of parameters in multiple aspects, the theoretical bursting pressure value is determined, and the defect sensitivity parameter is calculated by comparing it with the actual bursting pressure value obtained from the test. The defect sensitivity parameter reflects the response of internal defects in the material to pressure, thereby quantifying the defect sensitivity degree of the copper pipe specimen under different pressures and providing a basis for evaluating the material quality and performance.

[0112] Based on the above embodiments, a quality-performance mapping matrix is constructed according to the performance-related parameters, and the principal component analysis method is used to extract the key influencing factors of performance. The steps are as follows:

[0113] Normalize each obtained performance-related parameter to obtain the standard performance-related parameter. Normalization can eliminate the dimensional and order-of-magnitude differences between different performance-related parameters, making the data comparable and processable, laying a foundation for subsequent correlation coefficient calculation and principal component analysis, and improving the reliability of the analysis results.

[0114] According to the standard performance key parameters, construct the correlation coefficient matrix between the standard performance-related parameters and the performance indicators. The correlation coefficient matrix can quantify the linear correlation degree between the standard performance-related parameters and the performance indicators, clarify the contribution size and direction of each parameter to the performance indicators, and thus provide a basis for extracting the principal components, helping to screen out the key influencing factors of performance that have the most significant impact on performance.

[0115] Extract the principal components of the correlation coefficient matrix through eigenvalue decomposition to determine the key influencing factors of performance. By using eigenvalue decomposition to extract the principal components in the correlation coefficient matrix, that is, to find the most important change patterns and characteristics in the data, simplify the complex data structure into a few clear and definite key influencing factors of performance, so as to achieve data dimensionality reduction and retain the core information of the data.

[0116] By normalizing the performance-related parameters and performing principal component analysis, the factors that are most critical to performance can be accurately located among numerous parameters, reducing data redundancy, improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent analysis and model establishment, and making the analysis of the influencing factors of material performance more focused and in-depth. By constructing a quality-performance mapping matrix and extracting the key influencing factors, it provides accurate inputs for subsequent construction of a neural network model, helping to efficiently construct the mapping relationship between the pipe material and its performance.

[0117] Based on the above embodiments, construct a neural network architecture model and train it to output the defect-performance sensitivity map and the process sensitivity map. The steps are as follows:

[0118] According to the key influencing factors of performance, establish the hole-performance degradation equation by the following formula:

[0119] ;

[0120] Among them, represents the cumulative damage amount, represents the effective stress intensity factor amplitude, represents the proportion of the hole area, , , are the key influencing factors for performance;

[0121] Generate a dynamic defect-performance sensitivity map and a process sensitivity map according to the hole-performance degradation equation.

[0122] The hole-performance degradation equation establishes a quantitative relationship between the cumulative damage amount, the effective stress intensity factor amplitude, the proportion of the hole area, and the key influencing factors for performance. It can accurately predict the change trend of the cumulative damage amount and visually display the complex relationship between defects and performance, and between defects and processes in the form of a dynamic map. It can visually display the change trend of material performance under different microalloy contents, hole distributions, and process conditions, helping to quickly identify high-risk areas and key process parameters, so as to further achieve dynamic feedback and optimization adjustment of the production process.

[0123] It should be noted that the key influencing factors for performance are determined by correlation coefficient matrix analysis. The key influencing factors for performance characterize the intrinsic fatigue crack growth characteristics of the matrix material and reflect the ability of the material to resist crack growth; the key influencing factors for performance reflect the sensitivity of the crack growth rate to the change of the stress intensity factor.
