Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a modular ice-sand-bubble impact wear corrosion test system and method, and belongs to the technical field of low-temperature impact wear corrosion material evaluation. BACKGROUND

[0002] With global warming, the ice layer in the polar region is decreasing, and icebreaker ships play an increasingly important role in polar navigation, resource development, scientific exploration, and emergency rescue. In order to improve the ice / sand / bubble impact wear corrosion resistance of the icebreaker ship, a special experimental device needs to be designed to simulate the working state of the metal material of the icebreaker ship in the icebreaking environment, and the icebreaker ship needs to be tested and evaluated. Such an experimental device should be able to simulate different ice / sand / bubble-water ratios, and different speeds and angles of impact on the sample, so as to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the structure and material of the icebreaker ship in the extreme environment.

[0003] Existing experimental devices mainly include rotating, pipe flow and jetting types. The rotating device produces a vortex to change the flow state environment of the sample, and at the same time drives the solution in the storage tank to rotate together with the rotating disc, resulting in a reduction in the actual speed of the sample surface, thereby affecting the scouring effect, and the solid particles are unevenly distributed due to the influence of gravity and buoyancy. For example, a test device for simulating ice impact wear behavior and a detection method are disclosed in Chinese patent document CN119492642A.

[0004] The pipe flow experimental device system requires a large experimental area, a long experimental period and high cost, and cannot realize frontal impact simulation of ice and the sample. The jetting device can realize multi-angle impact wear corrosion of the sample by ice-water mixture, and has better working condition adaptability.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN107167394A discloses a polar ship steel plate ultra-low temperature friction experimental system for simulating the navigation or icebreaking environment of a polar navigation ship in a laboratory, testing the friction wear, impact, low-temperature corrosion and other behaviors of the ship steel plate and the ice surface in a low-temperature environment, and being capable of testing the friction wear performance between the steel plate and the sea ice and the impact performance between the ship steel plate and the ice layer under different loads and different moving speeds of the steel plate at an environmental temperature from room temperature to-60 DEG C. However, the device cannot provide dynamic change data of the friction wear and corrosion behaviors.

[0006] For impact wear corrosion result determination, the conventional and commonly used methods are weight loss method and electrochemical measurement method. The weight loss method is simple to operate, but a large amount of sample analysis and summary calculation are required after the test. The electrochemical test method, compared with the weight loss method, adopts polarization curve, electrochemical impedance and electrochemical noise measurement methods, and can directly output the corrosion rate, greatly improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0007] The two monitoring methods complement each other, take advantages and make up for each other's shortcomings, and the monitoring results under the same working condition are verified with each other, but the related test equipment on the market does not simultaneously have weight loss method monitoring and electrochemical method monitoring. SUMMARY

[0008] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the application provides a modular ice-sand-bubble impact wear corrosion test system and method, which can evaluate the reliability of in-service equipment and facilities in the polar environment, accurately reproduce the working condition, evaluate the reliability of the equipment and facilities during service, support the preliminary planning of material selection for newly built / potential investment equipment and facilities in the polar environment, scientifically select materials, and reduce the investment risk.

The parallel bypass is a pipe-flow flushing device, which is existing technology and can be used to conduct studies on parallel flushing, wet corrosion evaluation, intermittent flushing, and corrosion weight loss of splash flushing.

[0017] The test method for the above-mentioned modular ice-sand-bubble impact wear corrosion test system includes the following steps: (1) Seawater is injected into the circulating water tank and the sample is clamped on the three-dimensional flipping platform; (2) The circulation pump is started to drive the seawater circulation, the ice filling tank is filled with ice to simulate the ice-containing seawater environment, the gas cylinder interface is connected to simulate air bubbles to replicate the polar marine environment, and the particle filling tank is filled with fixed particles.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), electrochemical monitoring is performed using a reference electrode and a platinum sheet electrode, and the corrosion rate is directly output using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance or electrochemical noise. Alternatively, the weight loss method can be used to measure the mass change of the sample after scouring and to analyze the sample.
