Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel material testing technology, and specifically relates to a rapid compression test device and test method. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature compression tests on metallic materials can reveal the influence of heat treatment parameters, such as deformation temperature, strain rate, and deformation amount, on the microstructure and properties of metallic materials. Therefore, in order to obtain products with good performance, a series of high-temperature compression tests are required to find out the relationship between heat treatment parameters and material microstructure.

[0003] Because different materials exhibit varying sensitivities to heat treatment parameters, accurate experimental results require testing machines capable of precisely controlling high-temperature compression test parameters, such as deformation, strain rate, and deformation temperature. Typically, a thermodynamic simulation testing machine is used for high-temperature compression experiments, with a PID closed-loop control system controlling the deformation. This method effectively controls deformation at lower strain rates; however, at higher strain rates, the obtained deformation often exceeds the preset value, and the higher the strain rate, the greater the deviation between the actual and preset deformation. The thermodynamic simulation testing machine manufactured by DSI (Dual Steering Systems) in the United States is equipped with a hydraulic wedge unit, which can effectively address the issue of actual deformation exceeding the preset value. However, using this unit for high-temperature experiments requires system unit conversion, which is complex and costly. Furthermore, the experimental functions achievable after conversion to the hydraulic wedge unit are relatively limited.

[0004] To achieve precise control of deformation in rapid compression experiments without replacing system units, it is also necessary to develop experimental methods suitable for rapid compression experimental devices and their supporting methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a rapid compression test device and test method, which accurately controls the deformation in high-temperature rapid compression tests, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the experiment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid compression experimental device includes an experimental chamber. A movable shaft and a fixed shaft are coaxially arranged inside the experimental chamber. The movable shaft is driven to move by a main hydraulic cylinder outside the experimental chamber. The fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the experimental chamber. Anvils are connected to both the movable and fixed shafts. A baffle is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the movable shaft. An upper top plate is located above the fixed shaft, and a lower top plate is located below the fixed shaft. The upper and lower top plates are slidably connected to guide rails fixed to the side wall of the experimental chamber. An upper push block is located above the fixed shaft and fits against the inner side wall of the experimental chamber, and a lower push block is located below the fixed shaft and fits against the inner side wall of the experimental chamber. The outer surfaces of the upper and lower push blocks are symmetrical inclined planes. The upper and lower push blocks are driven to move by push block hydraulic cylinders. The upper push block can fit tightly against the upper top plate, and the lower push block can fit tightly against the lower top plate. Pressure sensors are provided on both anvils.

[0008] The upper and lower top plates are symmetrical structures, with a groove on one side of each plate. The groove on the upper top plate engages with the outer inclined surface of the upper push block, and the groove on the lower top plate engages with the outer inclined surface of the lower push block.

[0009] The guide rail is a round rod, and it is slidably connected to the round holes provided inside the upper and lower top plates.

[0010] The compression test method using a rapid compression test apparatus includes the following specific steps:

[0011] 1) Place the steel sample between the two anvils. The main hydraulic cylinder drives the moving shaft to clamp the steel sample. At this time, the baffle is in contact with one side of the upper and lower top plates, and the other side of the upper and lower top plates is in contact with the upper and lower push blocks.

[0012] 2) The steel sample is heated by electricity, and the temperature is raised to 1000℃-1100℃ at a rate of 10-15℃ / s, held for 180s-200s, and then cooled to 900-920℃ at a rate of 10-15℃ / s.

[0013] 3) The moving shaft clamps the steel sample. The distance that the upper and lower push blocks move towards the center is calculated according to the preset deformation of the steel sample. The hydraulic cylinder of the push block is started to move the upper and lower push blocks towards the center in a synchronous manner. The upper and lower top plates are manually adjusted to make close contact with the upper and lower push blocks respectively.

[0014] 4) Start the main hydraulic cylinder to drive the moving shaft to move laterally and compress the steel sample at the preset strain rate. When the baffle contacts and presses against the upper and lower top plates, the moving shaft stops. At this time, the deformation of the steel sample is the preset deformation.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] This invention fully considers the entire process of compressing and deforming the sample in a rapid compression test device. By utilizing the shape characteristics of the upper and lower push blocks, the distance between the upper and lower top plates and the baffle is adjusted. During deformation, the baffle is quickly stopped by the limiting effect of the upper and lower top plates, which can achieve precise control of the deformation amount. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The compression test method using a rapid compression test apparatus includes the following specific steps:

[0026] 1) Place the steel sample between the two anvils 5. The main hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the moving shaft 2 to clamp the steel sample 15.

[0027] 2) The steel sample is heated by electricity, and the temperature is raised to 1000℃-1100℃ at a rate of 10-15℃ / s, held for 180s-200s, and then cooled to 900-920℃ at a rate of 10-15℃ / s.

[0028] 3) Calculate the distance that the upper push block 10 and the lower push block 11 will move toward the center according to the preset deformation amount of the steel sample. Start the hydraulic cylinder 12 of the push block to move the upper push block 10 and the lower push block 11 toward the center in a synchronous manner. Manually adjust the upper top plate 7 and the lower top plate 8 to make close contact with the upper push block 10 and the lower push block 11 respectively.

[0029] 4) Start the main hydraulic cylinder 4 and drive the moving shaft 2 to move laterally to compress the steel sample 15 at a preset strain rate. When the baffle 6 contacts and presses against the upper top plate 7 and the lower top plate 8, the moving shaft 2 stops. At this time, the deformation of the steel sample 15 is the preset deformation.

[0030] Stress-strain curves were obtained through compression experiments.
