Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of melting point testing of ultra-high temperature ceramic materials, and specifically to an ultra-high temperature melting point testing device and method. Background Art
[0002] Hypersonic vehicles refer to vehicles that can fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (i.e., 5 times the speed of sound). Hypersonic vehicles are equipped with sharp nose tips and leading edges to maximize flight performance. During flight, hypersonic vehicles generate extremely high temperatures and heating rates due to intense friction and compression with the air. These high-temperature and high-speed airflows impose severe thermal loads and impacts on the vehicle's surface and structure. Especially at the hot-end components of the vehicle, such as engine blades, leading edges, etc., the temperature can exceed 2200K, which poses a great challenge to the heat resistance of materials and the design of thermal protection structures. The extreme conditions required for hypersonic applications have provided the impetus for the research and development of high-temperature materials, including a group of ceramics commonly known as ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). The common definition of UHTC is a ceramic with a melting temperature above 3300K. Among the numerous materials available to engineers, only a limited number of materials have melting temperatures above this standard. However, for new continuous solid-solution ultra-high temperature ceramics, in addition to predicting their extremely high melting points through calculations, their specific melting temperatures have not been accurately measured through experiments. Measurement methods and equipment often cannot work properly under such extreme conditions. Therefore, the main problems in ultra-high temperature melting point testing include the accuracy and stability of measurement in a high-temperature environment, as well as the high-temperature resistance requirements of the testing equipment.
[0003] To solve these problems, researchers have developed a variety of technologies and devices to improve the accuracy and stability of measurements. For example, a Chinese invention with the publication number CN115791868A discloses a method for determining the melting point and phase transition temperature of oxide ceramics based on laser heat source heating. An oxide ceramic raw material column is placed on the stage of a high-temperature phase transition measurement device, and then the light spots emitted by a laser radio frequency device and an infrared thermometer are aligned with the oxide ceramic raw material column. The laser radio frequency device is started to heat the oxide ceramic raw material column until it melts into a spherical shape. The laser radio frequency device is turned off, and then the infrared thermometer is used to continuously measure the temperature of the oxide ceramic raw material column to obtain the melting point and phase transition temperature of the oxide ceramic. This method can detect the melting point and phase transition temperature of oxide ceramics in the range of 350°C to 3500°C, achieving rapid and simple detection of the melting point and phase transition temperature of ultra-high temperature oxide ceramics. However, this method uses a laser radio frequency device to emit high-energy continuous laser as a high-temperature generator. However, the reflected light generated by the laser and the tested sample and the scattered light itself will seriously affect temperature measurement and calibration. At the same time, the melting point of the material often occurs instantaneously, which requires being able to quickly observe or detect the instantaneous process of material melting. However, the infrared thermometer is greatly affected by the absorption and scattering of the intermediate medium, and the measurement accuracy is prone to decline, making it impossible to accurately calibrate the melting point of ultra-high temperature materials. Therefore, the reliability of the test results is poor. In addition, the heating source of the test equipment in the prior art is difficult to achieve stable heating of ultra-high temperature ceramic materials at 4000K, and it cannot meet the testing of the physical and chemical properties of ultra-high temperature ceramics in a high-temperature environment exceeding 4000K required by the aerospace and national defense security fields. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the problem that the existing melting point test equipment cannot accurately test the physical and chemical properties of ultra-high temperature ceramics in a high-temperature environment exceeding 4000K, the present invention provides an ultra-high temperature melting point test equipment and method.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention provides an ultra-high temperature melting point test equipment, including a vacuum system, a high-temperature generation system, a multi-channel high-temperature measurement system, a melting point calibration system, and a control system; A sample is placed in the vacuum system, which is used to provide a vacuum environment for the sample; The high-temperature generation system is used to emit a laser beam onto the surface of the sample to melt the sample; The multi-channel high-temperature measurement system is used to record the time-temperature curve during the melting process of the sample; The melting point calibration system is used to record the melting process of the sample; The vacuum system, the high-temperature generation system, the multi-channel high-temperature measurement system, and the melting point calibration system are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0006] Optionally, the energy of the laser beam emitted by the high-temperature generation system is 10 - 500 keV.
[0007] Optionally, the melting point calibration system is a high-speed camera, and the shutter speed of the high-speed camera is at the millisecond level.
[0008] Optionally, the vacuum system includes an ultra-high vacuum chamber, and the ultra-high vacuum chamber is connected to a vacuum pump.
[0009] Optionally, the material of the ultra-high vacuum chamber is 316L stainless steel, and a sandwich water cooling method is adopted to protect each interface from high-temperature erosion.
[0010] Optionally, it further includes an illumination system for illuminating the inside of the vacuum system, facilitating the melting process of the specimen to be recorded by the melting point calibration system.
[0011] Optionally, the spot of the laser beam is less than or equal to 1 / 15 of the surface area of the specimen.
[0012] Optionally, the high-temperature generation system is a pulsed laser emitter. The pulsed laser emitter has a wavelength of 400 - 1500 nm, a power of 3 - 15 kW, and the output power density of the pulsed laser emitter is 1×10 3 W / cm 2 or higher energy beam.
[0013] The present invention also provides a melting point testing method using the above ultra-high temperature melting point testing equipment, which is characterized by including: Placing the specimen in the vacuum system, evacuating the vacuum system, and filling it with an inert gas; Using the high-temperature generation system to emit a laser beam onto the surface of the specimen to melt the specimen; Using the multi-channel high-temperature measurement system to record the time-temperature curve during the melting process of the specimen; Using the melting point calibration system to record the melting process of the specimen; Fitting the time-temperature curve during the melting process of the specimen with the melting process of the specimen to obtain the temperature at the instant of the solid-liquid phase transition of the specimen, and obtaining the melting point of the specimen.
[0014] Optionally, the inert gas is argon and / or helium.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides an ultra-high temperature melting point testing device, which includes a vacuum system, a high-temperature generation system, a multi-channel high-temperature measurement system, a melting point calibration system, and a control system. Among them, the vacuum system is responsible for providing a vacuum environment for the specimen. The vacuum environment can isolate oxygen and impurities, avoid oxidation or chemical reactions of the specimen at high temperatures, ensure the authenticity of the melting point data, and at the same time can restrain the splashing of high-temperature molten materials. The focused heating method of the laser beam reduces the risk of heat diffusion. The high-temperature generation system is responsible for emitting a laser beam onto the surface of the specimen to melt the specimen. The high-energy laser beam serves as a heat source, which can instantly generate thousands of degrees Celsius of high temperature, meet the testing requirements of refractory materials, and break through the temperature limitation of traditional resistance heating. The multi-channel high-temperature measurement system is responsible for recording the time-temperature curve during the melting process of the specimen. This multi-channel high-temperature measurement system can calculate the temperature by analyzing the radiation energy at different wavelengths based on the principle of blackbody radiation. Compared with traditional infrared thermometers, it has a wide temperature measurement range, high accuracy, can identify local overheating or thermal gradients, strong fault tolerance, supports multi-modal joint analysis, etc., and is more suitable for transient phase change research. The melting point calibration system is responsible for recording the melting state of the specimen, which is used to cooperate with the multi-channel high-temperature measurement system to accurately calibrate the melting point of the specimen, cross-verify with the temperature curve, improve the reliability of the data, thereby overcoming the influence of intermediate media such as smoke, dust, and water vapor on the measurement results, accurately capturing the melting point phase change critical point, reducing the error of traditional single temperature measurement methods, and providing a visual basis for material phase change research. The control system is used to integrally control each system and receive the information fed back by each system, realizing the automatic adjustment of the heating rate, vacuum degree, and data acquisition, reducing human operation deviation, and improving the efficiency of repetitive testing. The device has a simple structure, can achieve full coverage of the melting point temperature range of the tested samples above 4000K, and has a series of advantages such as high efficiency, high accuracy, and fast temperature measurement.
[0016] The energy of the laser beam emitted by the high-temperature generation system is 10 - 500 KeV. When the high-energy laser beam bombards the surface of the specimen, kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, which has a higher energy density and is more suitable for heating materials with higher melting points.
[0017] The melting point calibration system includes a high-speed camera. The shutter speed of the high-speed camera is in the millisecond level. The millisecond-level shutter speed can accurately capture the transient changes on the surface of the specimen and is more suitable for capturing the ultra-fast melting process, further improving the accuracy of melting point calibration.
[0018] The vacuum system includes an ultra-high vacuum cavity, which provides a more stable vacuum environment for the test of the specimen, avoids the influence of the complexity of the external environment on the test accuracy of the specimen, and further improves the test accuracy of the melting point.
[0019] The spot of the laser beam is less than or equal to 1 / 15 of the surface area of the specimen, with more concentrated energy and can effectively avoid the influence of the thermal gradient effect at the edge of the laser spot on the temperature measurement result.
[0020] The present invention also provides a melting point testing method using the above ultra-high temperature melting point testing equipment. This method evacuates the vacuum system and fills it with inert gas to ensure the stability of the testing environment and avoid the influence of the testing environment on the testing result. Then, the high-temperature generating system emits a laser beam onto the surface of the specimen to instantaneously melt the specimen. At the same time, the multi-channel high-temperature measurement system records the time-temperature curve during the melting process of the specimen, and the melting point calibration system records the melting process of the specimen. By cross-verifying the time-temperature curve and the recorded melting process of the specimen, the melting point of the specimen can be accurately obtained. This method realizes the accurate measurement of the ultra-high temperature melting point above 4000K through vacuum-inert gas environment control, high-energy beam micro-area heating, and multi-modal data cross-verification, with fast testing efficiency and high accuracy.
