Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials testing technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the maximum tensile strength at high temperatures. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature tensile testing can reflect the combined effects of external force and temperature on the properties of metallic materials. In scientific experiments or accident analysis, it is necessary to know the characteristic values and curves of materials at various temperatures, such as maximum stress and true stress-true strain curves. However, generally, tests only provide force values and engineering stress-strain curves at various temperatures, making it difficult to analyze the causes of material deformation and failure. For example, in the continuous casting process of steel, surface cracks often appear on the billet within certain specific temperature ranges. Analyzing the cause of these cracks requires understanding the strength of the billet within that temperature range and the true stress-true strain curve of the billet under tensile stress. This necessitates a corresponding transformation of the high-temperature tensile test results, and the key to this transformation lies in determining the cross-sectional area of the high-temperature tensile specimen.
[0003] Currently, high-temperature tensile tests are mainly conducted using thermal simulation testing machines and material mechanics testing machines. The data from these tests is used to study the high-temperature mechanical properties of materials, crack generation during continuous casting, and to predict rolling forces. These testing devices are equipped with force sensors that can directly acquire the force values experienced by the material throughout the test. However, these devices lack a mechanism to directly acquire the changes in the cross-sectional area of the material during the test. During the test, the testing machine can obtain parameters such as temperature, deformation, force, and stress values through corresponding sensors. For stress, a crucial parameter in high-temperature tensile test data, the equipment can only accurately acquire the load force borne by the specimen, making it difficult to obtain the changes in the cross-sectional area of the specimen during the tensile process. Therefore, it is assumed that the material deforms uniformly during tensile testing. However, the deformation of the specimen during high-temperature tensile testing is often non-uniform. Therefore, the stress obtained under this assumption is inaccurate, and the more non-uniform the specimen deformation, the greater the deviation in the result.
[0004] To obtain tensile test data of materials through high-temperature tensile testing and to study the high-temperature mechanical properties of materials based on this data, it is necessary to find a method for calculating the maximum tensile strength at high temperatures. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a method for calculating the maximum tensile strength at high temperatures, accurately finding the maximum force value that the specimen bears during high-temperature tensile process and the corresponding minimum cross-sectional area of the specimen, thereby accurately calculating the maximum strength of the specimen during high-temperature tensile process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: A method for calculating the maximum tensile strength at high temperatures includes the following steps: S1. A rod-shaped tensile specimen with a circular cross-section is subjected to a high-temperature tensile test. The radius of the circular cross-section of the specimen is... , length is ; S2, Correspondence between maximum force value and specimen elongation; Based on the collected force values and the tensile length of the specimen, plot the force versus time curve and the tensile length versus time curve on the same coordinate system. Keeping the time interval constant, identify the maximum force value within the same time period. Corresponding sample elongation ; S3. Determination of parameters of high-temperature tensile specimens before and after deformation; The tensile specimen fractured into two segments after a high-temperature tensile test. The total length of the two segments was [missing information]. When the sample breaks under tension, the total elongation is ,but ; One of the two fractured specimens was analyzed, and the length of the necking region along the specimen axis was measured and recorded as . , The portion of the specimen involved in deformation, at its original length 2 before deformation. Calculated using the following formula: 2 ; S4. Calculation of the minimum cross-sectional area of the necking region of the specimen: ; in, The minimum cross-sectional radius of the necking region of the specimen; S5. Maximum strength calculation: .
[0007] Furthermore, step S1 specifically includes: taking a rod-shaped tensile specimen with a circular cross-section, welding a thermocouple at the middle position of the specimen, and then installing the specimen on a thermal simulation testing machine to conduct a high-temperature tensile test, during which the force value and the length of the specimen being stretched are collected.
[0008] Furthermore, the minimum cross-sectional radius of the necking region of the specimen is the value of the force the specimen can withstand. The radius of the minimum cross-sectional circle of the specimen is calculated as follows: The force that the specimen endured during the high-temperature tensile process was... At that time, the elongation of the sample was When the sample bears the force value The radius of the minimum cross-sectional circle of the specimen is The elongation of the specimen on the side of the smallest cross-section circle is Let the line containing the diameter of the smallest cross-section circle be the x-axis and the line containing the axis of the specimen be the y-axis. Then, the equation corresponding to the curve of the side surface of the specimen on the smallest cross-section circle within this established rectangular coordinate system is expressed by the following formula: ; in, These are undetermined constants; The equation of the curve passes through two points with coordinates of ( , ( ) ,0), ( , + Solve for the undetermined constants. : ; ; Based on the principles of calculus, and considering the invariant volume of the tensile specimen before and after deformation in the deformed portion, the following formula applies: ; The left end shows the volume calculation formula for the specimen involved in deformation, and the right end shows the volume calculation formula for this part of the specimen after deformation, thus obtaining the minimum cross-sectional radius of the necking region of the specimen: .
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention has found a functional relationship between the tensile deformation of the specimen and the radius of the necking section, which reflects that as the elongation of the specimen increases during the tensile process, the cross section gradually decreases. This accurately identifies the cross-sectional area corresponding to the maximum force the specimen can withstand, thereby accurately calculating the maximum strength of the specimen under high-temperature tension.
