[0027] Embodiment one To solve the above problems, the present application provides a high-temperature water environment aluminum alloy pitting corrosion damage prediction method. The present application takes aluminum alloy as an example, the environment is 50-150℃, the normal water chemical condition (ultra-pure water) / abnormal water chemical condition (containing Cl-, Fe3+), COMSOL multi-physical field simulation software is selected to carry out simulation calculation, the corrosion relationship between a single pitting pit and the surrounding aluminum alloy is studied, the oxidation reaction of aluminum occurs in the pitting pit ( ), and the oxygen reduction reaction occurs on the surface of the surrounding aluminum alloy ( ), which drives the pitting process. The aluminum alloy pitting anode and cathode relationship diagram is shown in Figure 4 .

[0028] The present application mainly focuses on the prediction of pitting corrosion damage of aluminum alloy in high-temperature water environment. First, the factors affecting the pitting corrosion damage process in high-temperature water environment need to be determined. Then, these factors are corrected based on the high-temperature water environment. Secondly, the high-temperature composite field model comprehensively considers the coupling relationship of multiple factors such as electrochemical reaction, chemical reaction, mass transfer, interface evolution and corrosion deposition, introduces anodic dissolution reaction, cathodic oxygen reduction reaction, aluminum ion hydrolysis and complex reaction with chloride ion, describes the ion transport process based on Nernst-Planck equation, and dynamically simulates the influence of corrosion product deposition on the electrode surface and its feedback effect through ALE and level set method, so as to fully reflect the pitting corrosion damage mechanism of aluminum alloy under complex working conditions. Finally, the pitting corrosion model is simplified, a two-dimensional axisymmetric design is constructed, and the pitting corrosion model is simplified by taking the pitting corrosion pit as the center to reduce the complexity while retaining the core features, and the two-dimensional model can generate a three-dimensional model by rotation. Ultimately, a pitting corrosion model prediction result combining multiple field coupling and located in high-temperature water environment can be obtained.

[0029] Based on the above, the prediction steps for an aluminum alloy battery defect can be summarized as follows: S1, constructing an initial pitting corrosion morphology based on pitting corrosion parameters; the initial pitting corrosion morphology is specifically a two-dimensional morphology; wherein the formation of the initial pitting corrosion defect is a local corrosion initiation point caused by local micro-heterogeneity, environmental factors or physical damage of the metal material in the early service or manufacturing process; the initial pitting corrosion morphology can be simplified from a three-dimensional model to a two-dimensional central axisymmetric model; the two-dimensional model can effectively reduce the burden of the computing device, allowing the device to maintain high-precision calculation for a long time; S2, applying boundary conditions to the initial pitting corrosion morphology based on the high-temperature composite field model, and dividing the grid to solve with a transient solver to generate a simulated pitting corrosion morphology; the simulated pitting corrosion morphology is specifically a two-dimensional morphology; wherein the high-temperature composite field model at least includes: an electrochemical reaction field, a chemical reaction field and a mass transfer field; specifically, the fields that are more affected by the high-temperature water environment in the high-temperature composite field model mainly include: the electrochemical reaction field, the chemical reaction field and the mass transfer field, so it is necessary to correct these three fields under high-temperature water environment, so that the model can accurately reflect the mechanism difference of pitting corrosion behavior with temperature change. This embodiment first corrects the above three field models under high-temperature: the electrochemical reaction field is generated by measuring the polarization curve under high-temperature liquid conditions and fitting the parameters; the equilibrium reaction constant in the chemical reaction field is corrected based on the high-temperature water environment; the particle diffusion coefficient in the mass transfer field is corrected based on the high-temperature water environment; S3, rotating the simulated pitting corrosion morphology to generate a three-dimensional pitting corrosion model.

[0030] The correction steps of the electrochemical reaction field include: Experimental preparation: cutting aluminum alloy, grinding to 1000#-2000# sandpaper, ultrasonic cleaning with alcohol for 5-20min, exposing the area to 1cm 2 Ultrapure water / containing Cl - / Fe 3+ Solution, high temperature environment, pH value is adjusted to 4-7 by NaOH / HCl. Three-electrode system, including: (1) working electrode: aluminum alloy; (2) reference electrode: Ag / AgCl (saturated KCl); (3) auxiliary electrode: platinum sheet, high temperature reactor, temperature control precision , electrochemical workstation, model: Gamry Reference 600+.

[0031] S211. Measure the open circuit potential, AC impedance, and potentiodynamic polarization curve of aluminum alloy in a high-temperature solution environment; the open circuit potential is 30 min-60 min, the AC impedance starting frequency is 10,000 Hz-20,000 Hz, the ending frequency is 100 Hz-1,000 Hz, the potentiodynamic polarization starting potential is 200 mV-600 mV lower than the open circuit potential, the ending potential is 200 mV-600 mV higher than the open circuit potential, and the scanning speed is 0.166 mV / s-1 mV / s.

[0032] S212, calculating the solution resistance based on the AC impedance , using the solution resistance The potentiodynamic polarization curve is corrected to generate a post-IR drop polarization curve, specifically comprising: S2121, calculating the solution resistance based on the AC impedance In actual testing, the instrument measures the total potential difference between the reference electrode and the working electrode. In addition to the potential change caused by the electrode reaction itself, the current flowing in the solution will also produce voltage loss due to the resistance of the solution, making the data inaccurate. That is, the measured data includes the electrode reaction potential + the IR drop caused by the solution resistance. Therefore, the latter needs to be subtracted to restore the true polarization behavior of the electrode. In the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the solution resistance It is obtained by fitting the impedance values ​​in the high-frequency band of the impedance spectrum. In electrochemical tests, a small sinusoidal AC voltage disturbance (frequency range from mHz to MHz) is applied to the electrode system, and the response current is recorded to obtain the impedance spectrum of the system. At high frequencies, the interface capacitance is approximately short-circuited, and reaction polarization and diffusion resistance have not yet appeared. The impedance is mainly determined by the ohmic resistance of the solution. Therefore, the real part corresponding to the intersection of the leftmost end (high-frequency band) of the impedance spectrum and the horizontal axis is the solution resistance. .

[0033] obtaining a solution resistance then obtaining a test current , calculating a voltage drop using the solution resistance and the test current , including: ; S2122, calculating a difference between the dynamic potential polarization curve and the voltage drop to generate an IR-drop post-polarization curve; S213, performing electrode kinetics parameter estimation based on the IR-drop post-polarization curve to obtain boundary condition assignments of the electrochemical reaction field, specifically including: S2131, constructing an electrode kinetics model mechanism function, including: ; wherein, is a corrosion current density, is a passivation current density, is a corrosion potential, is an anode Tafel slope, is a cathode Tafel slope, is an electrode potential; in the above parameters, , , , , five parameters are all key parameters for describing the model electrochemical boundary conditions, and the above key parameters are denoted as an electrode kinetics parameter set .

[0034] S2133, calculating a set of optimal electrode kinetics parameters using a least square method as the boundary condition assignments of the electrochemical reaction field, including: ; ; wherein, is a predicted value of the electrode kinetics model when the electrode potential is , denotes the electrode kinetics parameter set, denotes an experimental polarization curve current density value.

[0035] The least square method is a model fitting method that finds the optimal parameters by minimizing the sum of squares of errors between predicted values and true experimental values. Because the electrode kinetics model is a nonlinear function, it is difficult to directly derive, and there can be multiple local minima, so the parameters can be solved by algorithms, including but not limited to genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, grey wolf optimization, and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithms.

[0036] In one embodiment, the particle diffusion coefficient is corrected based on the following steps, specifically including: S221, obtaining the particle diffusion coefficient equation, for particles in a viscous fluid (liquid solution), its diffusion coefficient follows the Stokes-Einstein equation: specifically: ; wherein, is the particle diffusion coefficient, is the Boltzmann constant, is the target temperature at which the reaction occurs, is the solvent viscosity, is the radius of the diffusing particle; S222, the solvent viscosity itself strongly depends on the temperature, so it is necessary to further determine the relationship between the solvent viscosity and the temperature , including: ; S223, substituting the solvent viscosity expression into the Stokes-Einstein equation to determine the particle diffusion coefficient expression at any temperature, specifically: ; wherein, is the standard temperature, specifically 298.15 K, is the particle diffusion coefficient at the standard temperature, is the solvent viscosity at the standard temperature.

[0037] In one embodiment, the equilibrium reaction constant is corrected based on the following steps, specifically including: S231, obtaining the particle diffusion coefficient equation, for the equilibrium constant of the reaction at different temperatures follows the Van't Hoff equation: ; wherein, denotes the absolute temperature; denotes the gas constant; denotes the standard Gibbs free energy change; S232, determining The relationship between the absolute temperature and the standard Gibbs free energy change is specifically: ; wherein, the standard reaction enthalpy change represents the heat absorbed or released when the reaction occurs at a constant pressure, reflecting the energy involved in overcoming intermolecular forces (breaking and making chemical bonds); the standard entropy change represents the degree of disorder or chaos of the system, reflecting the change in the microscopic state of the system before and after the reaction; S233, based on the particle diffusion coefficient equation and the standard Gibbs free energy change, determining the expression form of the particle diffusion coefficient equation under the condition of any standard temperature , including: ; wherein, the standard temperature is specifically 298.15 K; the target temperature of the reaction.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the geometric design initiates a pitting pit: radius r0=10-1000μm (simulating early pitting), depth h0=10-1000μm, axial symmetry (z axis is the symmetry axis). Electrolyte area (length 1-10mm, height 0.5-10mm).

[0039] In one embodiment, the high-temperature composite field model further comprises: an interface evolution field, which describes the position change of the metal interface of the initial pitting morphology based on an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. The interface evolution field is used to describe the process that the surface metal interface of the aluminum alloy pitting pit gradually dissolves, retreats and deforms over time as the corrosion reaction proceeds, i.e., the position change, morphology evolution and dynamic update of the corrosion interface. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method allows the grid to neither be completely bound to the object (Lagrangian) nor be completely fixed in space (Eulerian), but the grid can follow the movement of the corrosion interface, ensuring that the grid will not be severely distorted, and realizing the balanced migration between the corrosion interface deformation and the simulation calculation grid.

[0040] In one embodiment, the high-temperature composite field model further comprises: a corrosion deposition field, which describes the position change of the metal interface of the initial pitting morphology based on a level set method. The "corrosion deposition field" is used to describe how the corrosion products on the electrode surface or in the pitting pit deposit, grow, expand, accumulate on the interface, and how their morphology, position and thickness change over time as the corrosion reaction proceeds. The corrosion deposition process is usually modeled using the level set method: the level set function represents the interface between the corrosion products and the electrolyte; represents the position of the interface of the deposited layer; the interface expands outward over time according to the reaction rate (deposition rate).

[0041] In the simulation process of the pitting model, the above-mentioned five physical fields, including the electrochemical reaction field, the chemical reaction field, the mass transfer field, the interface evolution field and the corrosion deposition field, are coupled to form a high-temperature composite field model, and then the high-temperature composite field model is applied as a boundary condition to the initial pitting morphology for iterative processing. The specific steps are as follows: S401: The physical field is set to select the secondary current distribution, dilute mass transfer, deformation geometry and level set physical field module.

[0042] S402: The model electrochemical reaction specifically includes anode reaction and cathode reaction, involving anode reaction: , cathode reaction: ; the schematic diagram of anode and cathode relationship of aluminum alloy pitting is shown in Figure 4 S403: Model chemical reaction. When aluminum alloy corrosion occurs, the elements in the metal dissolve into the electrolyte solution in the form of cations, and hydrolysis reaction and homogeneous reaction occur with water and anions in the solution. The concentration distribution of ions in the electrolyte solution is affected by the coupling effect of hydrolysis reaction and mass transfer process. For example, the following reactions will be considered in the model constructed under abnormal water conditions containing Cl-:

[0054] In this model, the equilibrium reaction constant, Keq, is used to measure the homogeneous reaction:

[0055] S405: Model species transport. The species flux, Ni, in the model can be expressed by the Nernst-Planck equation. The Nernst-Planck equation is the governing equation for all particles in the solution, including diffusion, electromigration, and convection terms. The Nernst-Planck equation ignores the interaction between ions and is relatively accurate under the condition of dilute solution, and the expression is as follows:

[0082] S408: Corrosion precipitation effect. In the pitting process, ​​​The formation of deposits is a time-dependent process, and the porosity of the deposits varies with time and space. The parameter ε is used to describe the precipitation porosity, which can be calculated by the following formula, indicating that the precipitation of corrosion products is related to the decrease of porosity:

[0083] The corrosion process is accompanied by the formation of precipitated products. The formation of precipitated products will cause new phases to appear in the solution, which will significantly affect the mass transfer of the material, so the diffusion coefficient needs to be modified to take this effect into account. The Bruggeman relationship with a coefficient of 1.5 is commonly used to describe the influence of porosity and tortuosity on porous layers, so the diffusion coefficient of the material in the porous membrane can be estimated by the following equation: At the same time, the effective conductivity of the electrolyte through the porous membrane also needs to be corrected:

[0084] At the same time, the effective conductivity of the electrolyte through the porous membrane also needs to be corrected:
