Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of creep failure technology, and relates to a method and system for assessing creep failure of welded joints in a lead-bismuth environment. Background Technology
[0002] Nuclear power has developed rapidly due to its significant economic, social, and environmental advantages, and lead-bismuth fast-cooling reactors are among the most advanced fourth-generation nuclear energy systems. Nuclear power components operate for extended periods in complex environments involving high temperatures, radiation, and loads; failure can have catastrophic consequences. Welded joints operate in even more complex environments with high residual stress, making failure assessment often difficult. Case studies of numerous nuclear power plant accidents have revealed that the primary failure modes of welded joints in nuclear power components are excessive deformation and fracture, with creep failure being a major contributing factor to nuclear power system failures. Currently, there are no established methods for assessing high-temperature creep failure of welded joints in lead-bismuth environments. To ensure the long-term safe and reliable operation of nuclear power components and to provide a theoretical basis for the design and construction of nuclear power systems, a precise and simple method is urgently needed to assess creep failure of welded joints in lead-bismuth environments. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that there is no relevant way to assess the high-temperature creep failure of welded joints in lead-bismuth environments in the prior art, and to provide a method and system for assessing the creep failure of welded joints in lead-bismuth environments.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for assessing creep failure of welded joints in a lead-bismuth environment, comprising:
[0006] Creep specimens of welded joints were tested in a lead-bismuth environment to obtain creep life data under different stress levels, and creep stress-fracture life design curves in the lead-bismuth environment were obtained respectively; the welded joint includes base metal, heat-affected zone and weld metal;
[0007] The creep fracture factor of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment is obtained by comparing the average creep stress at the same creep fracture life in the creep life design curve of the base material with the creep life design curve of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment.
[0008] A creep constitutive model was established based on creep test data of lead-bismuth environment of base material and weld metal;
[0009] A numerical model of the creep specimen of the welded joint was established based on the geometric parameters of the creep specimen of the welded joint under lead-bismuth environment.
[0010] The creep fracture factor is coupled into the creep constitutive model, and the creep fracture life of the base material and the weld joint under lead-bismuth environment is obtained using the numerical model of the weld joint creep specimen. This verifies the reliability of the creep fracture factor of the weld joint under lead-bismuth environment. If the fatigue failure factor is deemed reliable, the creep failure factor of the weld joint under lead-bismuth environment is determined.
[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that:
[0012] Furthermore, creep specimens of the welded joints were tested in a lead-bismuth environment to obtain creep life data under different stress levels. Creep stress-fracture life design curves for the lead-bismuth environment were then obtained, as follows:
[0013] High-temperature creep fracture test was carried out on creep specimens of the base material of the welded joint under lead-bismuth environment to obtain creep strain-time curves under different stresses; the creep life under various stress levels was integrated to obtain the creep stress-fracture life design curve of the base material.
[0014] Creep specimens were processed from the weld seam of the welded joint, and high-temperature creep fracture tests were carried out on the deposited metal under different stress conditions in a lead-bismuth environment to obtain the creep strain-time curves of the weld seam under different stress levels in a lead-bismuth environment.
[0015] High-temperature creep endurance tests with different stress controls were conducted on the creep specimens of the welded joints in a lead-bismuth environment; the creep stress-fracture life design curve of the welded joints in the lead-bismuth environment was obtained by the same processing method as that used to obtain the creep stress-fracture life design curve of the base material.
[0016] Furthermore, the creep life design curve of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment is compared with the creep life design curve of the base material at the same creep fracture life to obtain the creep fracture factor of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment, specifically:
[0017]
[0018] Among them, C cr The creep rupture factor of the welded joint in a lead-bismuth environment. The creep life design curve is based on the corresponding creep fracture life. The obtained creep stress of the base material, The creep life design curve of the welded joint is based on the corresponding creep fracture life. The creep stress of the welded joint was obtained.
[0019] Furthermore, based on creep test data of lead-bismuth environment in the base material and weld metal, a creep constitutive model is established, specifically as follows:
[0020] Based on creep test data of lead-bismuth in the base material and weld metal, we analyzed the creep strain-time curves under different stress levels, extracted creep parameters, and established a creep deformation model.
[0021] The creep deformation model is as follows:
[0022]
[0023] in, The creep strain rate represents the steady-state stage, / h; σ is the applied stress level, MPa; B is the creep strain coefficient; n is the creep strain exponent.
[0024] Furthermore, based on the geometric parameters of the welded joint creep specimens in a lead-bismuth environment, a numerical model of the welded joint creep specimens is established, specifically as follows:
[0025] Based on the gauge length, heat-affected zone width, groove type, and groove size of the actual welded joint creep specimen, the material properties are set as base metal, heat-affected zone, and weld in the corresponding region of the numerical model of the welded joint creep specimen. The obtained creep constitutive model parameters are applied to the base metal and weld to establish the numerical model of the welded joint creep specimen.
[0026] Furthermore, the creep fracture factor is coupled to the creep constitutive model to verify the reliability of the creep fracture factor of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment, specifically:
[0027] Creep fracture factor C cr A creep constitutive model of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is obtained by coupling the model to the creep constitutive model of the base material and applied to the HAZ region of the numerical model of the weld joint. A creep damage model is established based on the ductility depletion theory. Creep failure is considered to occur when the damage value ω reaches 0.99. The creep fracture life of the base material and the weld joint under lead-bismuth conditions is calculated using the numerical model of the weld joint creep specimen. The creep life design curves of the base material and the weld joint under lead-bismuth conditions are compared with those to verify the reliability of the calculated creep fracture factor of the weld joint under lead-bismuth conditions.
[0028] The coupled creep deformation model is as follows:
[0029]
[0030] The theory of ductility depletion includes:
[0031]
[0032] in, For creep damage rate, and These represent creep strain rate and multiaxial creep fracture strain, respectively. The relationship between the stress state of the current infinitesimal element and the uniaxial fracture strain is related to the stress state and the uniaxial fracture strain.

[0033]
[0034] Where, σ m It is hydrostatic pressure, σ e It is the equivalent stress, σ m / σ e It is stress triaxiality, ε f It is uniaxial fracture strain;
[0035] The damage value ω at any given time can be obtained by integrating over time using formula (4):
[0036]
[0037] If the calculated creep rupture life of the base material and weld joint under corresponding conditions in a lead-bismuth environment matches the creep life design curve of the base material and weld joint in a lead-bismuth environment, then the calculated creep rupture factor C of the weld joint in a lead-bismuth environment is considered to be... cr reliable.

[0039] The acquisition module tests the creep specimens of the welded joint in a lead-bismuth environment to obtain creep life data under different stress levels, and obtains the creep stress-fracture life design curves in the lead-bismuth environment; the welded joint includes the base material, the heat-affected zone and the weld metal.
[0040] The comparison module compares the creep life design curve of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment with the average creep stress at the same creep fracture life in the creep life design curve of the base material to obtain the creep fracture factor of the welded joint in the lead-bismuth environment.
[0041] The first establishment module establishes a creep constitutive model based on creep test data of lead-bismuth environment of base material and weld metal.
[0042] The second establishment module establishes a numerical model of the welded joint creep specimen based on the geometric parameters of the welded joint creep specimen under lead-bismuth environment.
[0043] The verification module couples the creep fracture factor into the creep constitutive model and uses the numerical model of the welded joint creep specimen to obtain the creep fracture life of the base material and the welded joint under lead-bismuth conditions, thereby verifying the reliability of the creep fracture factor of the welded joint under lead-bismuth conditions; if the fatigue failure factor is deemed reliable, the creep failure factor of the welded joint under lead-bismuth conditions is determined.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

For example... Figure 3 As shown, the creep stress-fracture life design curves of P92 steel under lead-bismuth environment are obtained by sorting out the creep life under different temperatures and stress levels.
[0095] Step 2: Process creep specimens from the weld position of the P92 steel welded joint, and carry out high-temperature creep fracture tests under stress conditions of 160MPa, 170MPa and 180MPa in a lead-bismuth environment to obtain the creep stress-fracture life design curve of the weld in the lead-bismuth environment.
[0096] Step 3: Creep specimens were taken from the fully penetrated transverse butt weld joint of P92 steel. The creep specimens included the base material and part of the weld. A series of high-temperature creep rupture tests were conducted under the same stress control in a lead-bismuth environment. The creep stress-fracture life design curve of the P92 steel weld joint in the lead-bismuth environment was obtained by the same processing method as that used to obtain the creep stress-fracture life design curve of P92 steel.
[0097] Step 4: By comparing the average creep stress at the same creep fracture life in the creep life design curve of the P92 welded joint in a lead-bismuth environment with that in the creep life design curve of the P92 base material, the creep fracture factor C of the P92 welded joint is obtained. cr ,Right now

The creep life design curve of P92 steel is based on the corresponding creep fracture life. The average creep stress of P92 steel was obtained. The creep life design curve of the P92 steel welded joint is based on the corresponding creep fracture life. The average creep stress of the welded joint was obtained.
[0100] Figure 4 A schematic diagram is given for calculating the creep fracture factor of P92 welded joints under lead-bismuth environment based on the creep life design curves of P92 welded joints and base material under lead-bismuth environment. Considering the different locations where creep fracture failure occurs in P92 steel welded joints under lead-bismuth environment, the stress conditions are divided into different intervals according to the variation trend of creep fracture factor of welded joints under lead-bismuth environment. The least squares method is used to find the relationship between the average creep stress and creep fracture life in each interval to accurately calculate the creep fracture factor of P92 steel welded joints under lead-bismuth environment.
[0101] Step 5: Based on the lead-bismuth environment creep test data of P92 steel base material, weld metal and welded joint given in Steps 1, 2 and 3, analyze the creep strain-time curves under different stress levels, extract creep parameters, and then establish a creep deformation model.

The obtained creep constitutive model parameters are applied to the base metal and weld to establish the numerical model of the welded joint creep specimen.
[0106] Step 6, Figure 5 The calculation results of the creep deformation constitutive model of P92 steel base material established using the numerical model of welded joint under different stress control are presented. Based on the ductility exhaustion theory, as shown in equations (2)-(4), the creep fracture factor C of P92 steel welded joint calculated in step 3 is... cr A creep constitutive model is obtained by coupling to the creep constitutive model to obtain the creep constitutive model of the heat-affected zone. A creep damage model is established based on the ductility exhaustion theory. Creep failure is considered to occur when the damage value ω reaches 0.99.
