Currently, routine overhauls mainly focus on non-destructive testing and evaluation of macroscopic defects, and there is still a lack of effective detection and assessment of aging conditions.
[0003] Currently, the mechanical properties of metal components are obtained by destructively sampling leftover materials or witness samples before the components leave the factory, making standard specimens, and then conducting various mechanical tests in the laboratory to obtain the test results. This method can only obtain the performance parameters of the metal components before they are put into service, and cannot grasp the performance changes of the components after they are put into service. At the same time, the commonly used non-destructive testing methods in nuclear power plants (such as ultrasonic, X-ray and penetrant testing) are intended to detect dangerous parts in the components or detect defects and dimensions, but they cannot evaluate the mechanical properties of the component materials.
