Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology for high-temperature alloys, and more specifically, to a standard block for detecting defects in aero-engine wheel disks and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] As a core load-bearing component, the GH4169 alloy wheel disc of an aero-engine is susceptible to metallurgical defects such as white spots, dirty white spots, and black spots, which directly affect flight safety. Non-destructive testing (NDT) technology is a key means of defect screening, and standard blocks, as the core carrier for calibrating testing methods, verifying testing accuracy, and constructing POD models, directly determine the reliability of the test results based on the realism of their defect simulation.
[0003] The existing technology has the following core problems: 1) Defect simulation distortion: Traditional standard blocks use a single material or simple mechanical processing defects (such as drilling and grooving), which cannot reproduce the elemental segregation characteristics of white spots (low Nb content) and black spots (high Nb content), as well as the structural characteristics of nitrided inclusions attached to the surface of dirty white spots.
[0004] 2) Mismatch in grain state: The existing standard block does not take into account the difference in grain size between the defect area and the substrate. The actual defect grains are either coarse or fine, which leads to the ultrasonic propagation characteristics being inconsistent with the real wheel, resulting in a large calibration error.
[0005] 3) Insufficient size coverage: The defect size specifications are limited and cannot meet the requirements for building POD models under different detection sensitivities.
[0006] 4) Poor stability: Some standard blocks are fixed with adhesives, inlays or other methods to fix the defect simulation parts, which can easily lead to problems such as interface separation and cracks, affecting the repeatability of the test.
[0007] The aforementioned problems prevent existing standard blocks from providing accurate calibration benchmarks for non-destructive testing. The evaluation results of the POD model deviate from actual engineering applications, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of wheel defect detection.
[0008] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
