[0036] Example 2

[0037] The above-mentioned on-board water tank box body accelerated corrosion test device acceleration test method, including the following steps:

[0038] (1) Place the box on the experimental platform 7, then start each device to implement the immersion-humid heat-salt spray cycle corrosion acceleration step;

[0039] (2) Implement salt spray-fatigue alternating loading step for force-carrying corrosion-prone parts;

[0040] (3) According to the acceleration factor formula F=f(T,RH,C,σ), calculate the equivalent relationship between experimental period and field service time, and control the total test period to be 200-300 h, and the equivalent corrosion effect of one year of experimental field service.

[0041] Wherein, the immersion stage: keep the electrochemical potential in deionized water at-0.45~-0.55 V;

[0042] Humid heat stage: temperature 40-60 ℃, relative humidity 90-100%, temperature rise plastic 0.5-1 ℃ / min, humidity fluctuation range ±5%;

[0043] Salt spray stage: salt spray concentration 3.5-5% sodium chloride, deposition rate 1-2 mL / (80 cm 2 •h);

[0044] Fatigue stage: fatigue stress ratio R=0.1-0.3, loading frequency 1-3 Hz.

[0045] Specifically, the following experiments can be carried out:

[0046] For the external structure area, such as Figure 2 As shown: damp heat exposure test: the internal area of the box has a gap, which causes the same temperature and humidity environment conditions as the outer surface. The temperature and humidity conditions of the upper surface can be taken, that is, under the conditions of relative humidity RH=95%-100% and temperature T=(43±2) ℃. Considering that part of the water enters the internal structure during the cleaning process, the moisture volatilizes to form a damp heat environment. On the basis of the action time, multiply by a coefficient of 1.5, so the action time is 7 days.

[0047] Normal temperature fatigue test: the internal structure temperature of the box is normal temperature. In the fatigue test, the stress level is determined according to the random stress spectrum of the highest stress level of the specific structure part of the internal structure / part. According to the principle of equivalent fatigue damage, each level of stress in the load spectrum is converted to the stress corresponding to 500 cycles. The conditions of the fatigue test are: σ max = 0.1, f=5 Hz, and the cycle number is 500.

[0048] Acidic atmosphere test: the same as the salt spray action of the outer surface, the acidic atmosphere action time of the box is 3 days, and the pH value is 4.5.

[0049] Neutral salt spray test: the closed structure inside the box contains neutral salt spray in addition to acidic salt spray. The neutral salt spray test conditions refer to GJB150.A. A 5% NaCl solution is taken, the salt spray deposition amount is (1-2) ml / h•80 cm 2 , and the test temperature T=35 ℃. The action time is the same as the acidic salt spray action, that is, 1 day (24 h).

[0050] For the internal structure area, such as Figure 3 As shown: the equivalent acceleration relationship can be conservatively determined as 1 cycle of environmental spectrum equivalent to 1 year of field use.

[0051] Immersion test: soak in solution for 2 days. The immersion solution is: sodium chloride 234 g / L, potassium nitrate 50 g / L, and concentrated sulfuric acid 6.8 mL / L; pH value=4, temperature T=43±2 ℃.

[0052] Room temperature fatigue test: apply cross-section load several times under room temperature atmosphere, frequency f=4 Hz, cross-section load can be converted to the maximum level of stress in 1 year according to the principle of equivalent fatigue damage, and each level of stress in random stress spectrum is equivalent to the damage.

[0053] For the above test process, the accelerated corrosion test of a certain type of aircraft simulation test piece was carried out by using the accelerated test environment spectrum of "EXCO solution changing acid composition solution immersion for 2 days (adjusting HNO3 to H2SO4, concentrated sulfuric acid 3 mL / L, so that the solution pH=4.0; and considering the temperature effect, the environmental temperature is T=43±2 ℃) + room temperature fatigue (apply constant amplitude load several times under room temperature atmosphere, f=4 Hz)". There is no obvious difference between the composition of accelerated corrosion products and that of field corrosion products, especially the content of S is basically the same as that in field corrosion products. The corrosion damage form of the test piece produced by accelerated corrosion test reproduces the corrosion damage form of the fuel tank part of the certain type of series aircraft in the field, thereby further proving the rationality of the accelerated test environment spectrum.

[0054] By comparing the results of laboratory accelerated corrosion test and the corrosion structure under actual service environment, the equivalent acceleration relationship is determined. That is: for the aircraft parked at inland airport, 1 cycle of accelerated test environment spectrum is equivalent to 1.5 years of service in the field; for the aircraft parked at coastal airport, 1 cycle of accelerated test environment spectrum is equivalent to 0.75 years of service in the field.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] An aluminum alloy airborne water tank was used for accelerated corrosion test, and the process was as follows:

[0057] (1) Sample preparation: select typical tank body material of aluminum alloy airborne water tank, size 100 mm×50 mm×2 mm.

[0058] (2) Environmental condition analysis: according to the actual flight working condition, the main corrosion factors are determined as temperature and humidity alternation, salt spray deposition and mechanical stress.

[0059] (3) Tank body area corrosion test:

[0060] The temperature is controlled at 45 ℃, and the humidity is 95%;

[0061] The salt spray concentration is 3.5% NaCl;

[0062] Each cycle includes: humid heat 8 h→ salt spray 4 h→ immersion 2 h, a total of 5 cycles.

[0063] (4) Fatigue corrosion test of load-bearing part:

[0064] The alternating load stress ratio R=0.2 under salt spray environment, frequency 2 Hz;

[0065] Total cycle 10 5 After 250 h of cumulative test time.

[0066] (5) Effect verification: through SEM and EDS analysis, the consistency of the corrosion morphology with the field service sample is 92%, and the corrosion rate is equivalent to that of the field service sample for one year.

[0067] Comparative experiment: using the traditional single salt spray method for accelerated test, the results show that the corrosion product is unevenly distributed, the crack morphology is inconsistent with the field sample, and the corrosion rate is low.

[0068] In comparison, the device and method of the present application realize multi-factor synergistic acceleration, the corrosion uniformity is improved by 30%, the crack initiation rate is increased by 2.5 times, and the significant technical effect and unpredictability of the present application are verified.

[0069] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
