Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material testing, and in particular to a device and method for testing material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread application of hydrogen energy, the corrosion problem of materials in hydrogen environments has become a difficult problem that urgently needs to be solved, especially in industrial environments with certain humidity, high temperature, high pressure and complex loading conditions. Many metal structures and equipment are exposed to gaseous environments during daily use, such as industrial equipment, building structures, pipelines, etc. The stress-electrochemical coupling effect in hydrogen environments causes material corrosion damage, which not only seriously affects the mechanical properties and structural integrity of the materials, but also leads to equipment failures and safety accidents.

[0003] Existing testing devices are limited to stress corrosion behavior under a specific stress state, making it impossible to use a single testing device to simulate loading conditions under multiple stresses. Furthermore, they are limited to macroscopic corrosion behavior and cannot provide a deep understanding of the corrosion mechanism of stress-electrochemical coupling in hydrogen environments (or other corrosive gas environments). Furthermore, in actual material testing applications (such as spot checks on material product production lines), materials produced on different material product production lines may have different spot check test frequencies and test condition requirements (such as different load test methods, humidity, temperature, pressure, and corrosive gas environments) due to their application in different environments and scenarios. When faced with different test condition requirements, existing testing devices are unable to efficiently and accurately achieve the coordinated adjustment of multiple test conditions. Furthermore, when multiple specimen test tasks need to be tested continuously, it is also necessary to ensure that the parameter adjustment speed of multiple test conditions meets the multi-task test execution requirements and minimizes the switching of test devices, thereby improving the efficiency and operational reliability of the test system.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve high-accuracy and high-flexibility adjustment of multiple test conditions under multiple stress loading conditions, provide an experimental device that can simulate different stresses and actual test conditions and accurately evaluate the stress corrosion behavior of material micro-areas, and improve the efficiency and operational reliability of the test system while ensuring that the test frequency requirements and test device switching targets of parallel task testing of multi-material product production lines are met, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

The super loading bolt 2 provided in the device of the present invention also monitors parameters such as stress, strain or corrosion rate through the built-in load sensor 3.

The specimen jacket 4 described in the present invention is a replaceable mold that can meet the needs of stress corrosion specimens of different sizes and shapes, not limited to the standard specimen sizes and shapes described in NACE TM0177-05 Method A.

[0090] Step 2: Secure the captive bolts on the test kettle lid and test the kettle's sealing performance. Use the gas control assembly to fill the test kettle with nitrogen. Transmit the pressure data inside the kettle to the stress ring control system via pressure sensor 23, and observe whether the pressure changes over time. If the pressure does not change, indicating that the test kettle is airtight, the gas control assembly is used to release the pressure and reintroduce the required gas and pressure. Add deionized water to the liquid inlet 19 of the ultrasonic humidifier 17, and adjust the desired humidity inside the kettle using the ultrasonic humidifier's control panel.

[0091] It should be noted that, in addition to N2 and H2, the device of the present invention can also introduce gases such as CO2, O2 and H2S, as well as various corrosive gas media required for the test.

[0092] Step 3: Adjust the tip of the scanning probe 14 to the sample surface by adjusting the driving arm 12;

[0093] It should be noted that when the tip of the scanning probe 14 contacts the sample surface, the bias source 13 transfers charge to the probe via the drive arm 12, creating a tiny potential difference. This tiny signal is amplified and processed by the lock-in amplifier 11, ultimately outputting an image reflecting the potential distribution on the sample surface. The scanning Kelvin probe system described in the present invention is capable of measuring the micro-region properties of materials under varying atmospheric humidity, and even other gaseous environments, and their environmental variations. Its principles are based on existing technology and will not be further elaborated upon here.

[0094] Step 4: Adjust the small bolt on the super-loading bolt 2 and tighten the top bolt to generate a thrust force (axial). The thrust bolt has a small friction diameter, achieving high thrust with relatively low torque, accurately achieving different uniaxial loading stresses. If heating is required, adjust the temperature control assembly to transfer heat through the Hastelloy heating pipe in the test kettle. A temperature sensor 16 is installed inside the test kettle to monitor the temperature inside the test kettle at all times.

[0095] It should be noted that earlier stress rings used a single nut to apply load, making it difficult to accurately and repeatedly provide unidirectional tensile loads. The present invention's device, utilizing the super-load bolt 2, avoids these drawbacks of traditional stress rings. Furthermore, the stress ring's load monitoring unit measures the load value online. If the load changes during the test, adjustments can be made by adjusting the small bolt on the super-load bolt 2.

[0096] Step 5: Start the stress ring to conduct stress corrosion testing and the scanning Kelvin probe system to conduct micro-corrosion potential testing. During the experiment, the deformation and stress of the sample can be monitored in real time through the timing control system. When the sample surface breaks, the fracture sensor transmits the fracture signal to the timing control system, which issues an alarm.

[0097] If a stress corrosion test under slow strain rate tension (dynamic load) is to be performed, the only change in step 1 is to unload the small bolt on the super-loaded bolt 2 and input the required strain rate through the stress ring control system. If a combination of the two is required, it can be achieved by simply inputting the required strain rate through the stress ring control system after performing step 1 above.

[0098] In summary, the present invention, based on the stress ring test system, incorporates a slow strain rate tensile test system and the scanning Kelvin probe system to non-destructively study the micro-corrosion potential changes during stress corrosion of test specimens. This allows for more accurate investigation of the causes of stress corrosion cracking in materials under complex operating conditions and loading conditions, and reveals the mechanisms of stress corrosion. This represents a significant improvement over existing technologies.

[0099] Reference Figure 4 The embodiment of the present invention provides a material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing method, which is used in a material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing system. The material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing system includes a test planning terminal and a plurality of material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing devices as described in any one of the above. The method includes:

[0100] S1: Obtain a set of sample test requirements for several material product production lines during a target test period; wherein the sample test task set includes the sample attributes and sample test frequency of each material product production line;

[0101] S2: matching a sample test condition set for each material product production line based on the sample test characteristics in the sample attributes, and generating a sample test task list for a target test period based on the sample test condition set and the sample test frequency; wherein the sample test condition set includes a load test mode, a corrosive gas type, a test temperature, a test humidity, and a test pressure;

[0102] S3: querying the initial sample test condition set of each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing device at the initial moment of the target test period, sequentially selecting the sample test tasks and the test period of each sample test task that are assigned to each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing device and are sequentially executed during the target test period from the sample test task list, using an optimization algorithm to solve the sample test tasks and the test period of each sample test task that are sequentially executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing device during the target test period, and generating a sample test allocation strategy;

[0103] S4: According to the sample test allocation strategy, generate a set of sample test conditions for each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing device at different times during the target test period, and perform sample tests on several material product production lines during the target test period based on the sample test condition sets at different times.

[0104] It should be noted that in the actual application scene of material testing (for example, sampling inspection of material product production line), different material product production lines may have different sampling inspection test frequency and test condition requirements (for example, different load test methods, humidity, temperature, pressure and corrosion gas environment, etc.) due to application in different environments and scenes. When facing different test condition requirements, the existing test device cannot efficiently and accurately realize the common adjustment of multiple test conditions, and when multiple sample test tasks need to be continuously tested, the parameter adjustment speed of multiple test conditions also needs to meet the multi-task test execution condition and as few test device switching as possible to improve the test system efficiency and operation reliability. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment considers the different sample test requirements of several material product production lines in the target test period, realizes the high accuracy and high flexibility adjustment of multiple test conditions under multiple stress loading conditions, solves the sample test task and the test period of each sample test task executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in the target test period through an optimization algorithm, and generates a scientific and reasonable sample test allocation strategy. While ensuring to meet the test frequency requirements and test device switching targets of the parallel task test of multiple material product production lines, the test system efficiency and operation reliability are improved.

[0105] Further, the sample test task and the test period of each sample test task executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in the target test period are sequentially selected from the sample test task list and sequentially executed in the target test period, and an optimization algorithm is used to solve the sample test task and the test period of each sample test task executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in the target test period. The sample test allocation strategy step includes:

[0106] S31: The sample test allocation strategy is solved by sequentially selecting the sample test task and the test period of each sample test task executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in the target test period from the sample test task list and sequentially executing the sample test task in the target test period.

[0107] S32: taking the interval time when two sample test tasks adjacent to each material product production line are executed by the material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device as a first constraint condition, taking the sample test condition adjustment time when a sample test condition set of a previous sample test task is adjusted to a sample test condition set of a next sample test task of each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device as a second constraint condition, and taking the minimum number of times when two sample test tasks adjacent to each material product production line are executed by different material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test devices as an optimization target;

[0108] S33: solving the sample test tasks executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in sequence and the test period of each sample test task in the target test period by using an optimization algorithm to generate a sample test allocation strategy.

[0109] In the embodiment, the interval time when the sample of each material product production line is tested by the material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device is taken as a first constraint condition (to ensure that the sample test frequency of each material product production line meets the requirements), the interval time when two sample test tasks adjacent to each other are executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device is taken as a second constraint condition (to ensure that the sample test condition set switching adjustment speed of each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device meets the requirements), and the sum of the switching frequencies of the material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device for the sample test tasks of each material product production line is taken as an optimization target (to minimize the switching number of the task execution device, reduce the overall error rate of the material product production line test tasks, and improve the reliability), and an optimization algorithm (for example, a genetic algorithm) is used to solve the most suitable sample test tasks executed by each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential test device in sequence and the most suitable test period of each sample test task in the target test period to ensure that the test frequency requirements and the test device switching target of the multi-material product production line parallel task test are met, and to improve the test system efficiency and operation reliability.

[0110] It should be noted that, for each material stress and micro-electrochemical in-situ corrosion potential testing device, the sample testing condition set is adjusted from the previous sample testing task to the sample testing condition set of the next sample testing task, the sample testing conditions that need to be switched and adjusted include load testing mode (for example, switching from single static load testing to single dynamic load testing), corrosion gas type (for example, switching from H2 to CO2), testing temperature (for example, switching from 40 DEG C to 80 DEG C), testing humidity (for example, switching from 30% to 50%) and testing pressure (switching from 0.5 MPa to 0.3 MPa), and the estimated time consumption of sample testing condition adjustment can be matched in the pre-stored test mapping relationship table of different sample testing condition set switching and adjustment parameter values and corresponding adjustment time consumption, and after the sample testing condition adjustment time consumption is obtained, the sample testing allocation strategy planning solving considering the second constraint condition is performed.
