[0002] With the rapid development of the steel industry, scrap steel, as a green and renewable resource that can be infinitely recycled, occupies an important position in the fields of steel smelting and metal processing. Existing scrap steel recycling technologies usually focus on the chemical composition analysis and simple surface quality inspection of scrap steel. However, judging solely based on the current chemical composition and surface morphology can easily overlook the mechanical loads and environmental erosion that scrap steel has endured during its historical service. It cannot reflect the degree of mechanical property degradation of the material after long-term use, resulting in an inability to accurately assess the changes in the internal microstructure of scrap steel. Simple surface quality inspection cannot detect the microcracks that have started inside and the trend of damage propagation, making it very easy to miss scrap steel with serious internal hidden dangers.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In this invention, the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a machine vision-based intelligent scrap steel sorting and processing method, including the following specific steps: Step 1: Collect historical usage data of scrap steel, including historical service data and historical environmental data. Based on the historical service data, predict the fatigue damage of scrap steel, and based on the historical environmental data, predict the creep damage of scrap steel. Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, step one includes the following specific steps: Step 11: Collect historical usage data of scrap steel, including historical service data and historical environmental data. Historical service data includes stress amplitude, load cycle count, and load frequency. Stress amplitude can be obtained by installing strain gauges on the scrap steel bearing structure and monitoring the peak and trough values ​​of the cyclic load in real time. The value is obtained by calculating half of the difference between the peak stress and the trough stress. The load cycle count is obtained by statistically analyzing the stress-time curve. The load frequency is obtained by analyzing the period (time interval between two adjacent peaks) of the stress-time curve. Historical environmental data includes temperature, stress level, and exposure duration. Temperature is obtained by temperature sensors. Stress level is obtained by measuring the constant or changing stress borne by the scrap steel using stress sensors. Exposure duration is obtained by time recording equipment to record the duration of the scrap steel under specific historical conditions. Step 12: Based on historical service data, import the fatigue damage prediction calculation formula to calculate the predicted fatigue damage value of the scrap steel. The fatigue damage prediction calculation formula is as follows: ,in, Indicates the number of stress levels. This represents the actual number of cycles at the i-th stress level. This represents the number of failure cycles at the i-th stress level. This can be obtained through stress-life curves, which reflect the number of cycles required for a specific material to undergo fatigue fracture under a set stress amplitude. A stress-life curve can be represented as: ,in, This represents the stress amplitude, i.e., the magnitude of stress change during cyclic loading, reflecting the severity of the cyclic loading. The fatigue strength coefficient, which has the same dimensions as the stress amplitude, reflects the material's ability to resist fatigue. The fatigue strength index reflects the material's sensitivity to fatigue. and All are material constants, obtained through fatigue test fitting. The fatigue damage prediction value of scrap steel can predict the density and distribution of fatigue microcracks inside the scrap steel. Step 13: Based on historical environmental data, import the creep damage prediction calculation formula to calculate the predicted value of creep damage in scrap steel. The creep damage prediction calculation formula is as follows: ,in, Indicates the number of operating conditions (temperature and stress). This represents the exposure duration under the j-th operating condition. This represents the failure duration under the j-th operating condition. The time to fracture can be obtained using the Larson-Miller parameter method, which reflects the fracture time under specified operating conditions (temperature and stress). The Larson-Miller parameter method can be expressed as: ,in, This represents the Larson-Miller parameter. For a specific material, the relationship between the Larson-Miller parameter and stress can be obtained by looking up a table. When referring to temperature, it should be noted that the temperature unit is converted to Kelvin during calculations. This represents a material constant, typically taken as 20, reflecting the material's creep sensitivity. In engineering calculations, the normalization operations for temperature and failure duration are usually omitted, i.e., ... and It is considered a scaling factor, therefore, in the formula calculation and All values ​​are dimensionless. The predicted value of creep damage in scrap steel can predict creep cavities and microcracks inside the scrap steel.

[0020] Step 2: Collect surface damage data of scrap steel, and predict the internal damage propagation of scrap steel based on scrap steel fatigue damage, scrap steel creep damage and scrap steel surface damage; In this embodiment, step two includes the following specific steps: Step 21: Collect surface damage data of scrap steel. The surface damage data of scrap steel includes crack length, crack depth, corrosion pit depth and surface roughness. Use a high-resolution camera to collect surface images of scrap steel. After image enhancement, use edge detection to segment cracks, extract crack skeleton, calculate pixel length to obtain crack length, acquire 3D scan data of scrap steel, obtain crack depth based on point cloud height data, fit the uncorroded area as a reference surface, calculate the height difference between each point in the corroded area and the reference surface to obtain corrosion pit depth, use spline fitting to separate the waviness and roughness components of the profile, calculate the arithmetic mean deviation of the profile to obtain surface roughness. The depth of corrosion pit reduces the effective cross section and increases stress concentration. The deeper the corrosion pit, the greater the damage to scrap steel. Surface roughness affects crack initiation. The higher the roughness, the greater the damage to scrap steel. Step 22: Obtain the crack length influence value based on the ratio of crack length to the critical crack length value; obtain the crack depth influence value based on the ratio of crack depth to the critical crack depth value; obtain the corrosion pit depth influence value based on the ratio of corrosion pit depth to the critical corrosion pit depth value; obtain the surface roughness influence value based on the ratio of surface roughness to the critical surface roughness value; obtain the surface damage value by weighted summation of the crack length influence value, crack depth influence value, corrosion pit depth influence value, and surface roughness influence value. The critical crack length and critical crack depth values ​​are obtained through fracture mechanics analysis. The critical corrosion pit depth value is determined based on the corrosion rate and the material's remaining strength requirements. For example, a corrosion pit depth exceeding 10% of the material thickness is considered critical. The critical surface roughness value is determined based on fatigue strength. For example, a surface roughness exceeding 6.3 μm is considered critical. Step 23: Obtain the damage coupling effect value based on the product of the surface damage value, the predicted fatigue damage value of scrap steel, and the predicted creep damage value of scrap steel. Obtain the initial internal damage value of scrap steel based on the weighted sum of the surface damage value, the predicted fatigue damage value of scrap steel, the predicted creep damage value of scrap steel, and the damage coupling effect value.

[0021] Step 3: Obtain downstream usage scenario data, simulate the damage evolution of scrap steel based on the downstream usage scenario data, and predict the remaining service life of scrap steel; Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, step three includes the following specific steps: Step 31: Obtain downstream usage scenario data. Downstream usage scenario data includes scenario temperature, humidity, corrosive medium concentration, scenario cyclic load stress amplitude, and scenario cyclic frequency. The corrosive medium concentration is monitored online by an electrochemical sensor. The scenario cyclic load stress amplitude is the difference between the peak stress and the valley stress of the cyclic load, reflecting the severity of the cyclic load. The load fluctuation of the downstream usage scenario is monitored in real time by strain gauges or directly obtained from the design load. The scenario cyclic frequency is the number of cycles per unit time, reflecting the frequency of the cyclic load. The load frequency of the downstream usage scenario is monitored by a vibration sensor. Step 32: Obtain the scene temperature severity value based on the ratio of scene temperature to safe scene temperature; obtain the humidity severity value based on the ratio of humidity to safe humidity; obtain the corrosion medium concentration severity value based on the ratio of corrosion medium concentration to safe corrosion medium concentration; obtain the downstream application scene severity value by weighted summation of the scene temperature severity value, humidity severity value, and corrosion medium concentration severity value; test the damage evolution rate at different temperatures and take the upper limit of temperature that does not accelerate damage as the safe scene temperature; test the corrosion rate at different humidity levels and take the upper limit of humidity that does not accelerate corrosion as the safe humidity; test the corrosion rate at different concentrations and take the upper limit of concentration that does not accelerate corrosion as the safe corrosion medium concentration. Step 33: Obtain the surface damage propagation increment based on the surface damage propagation formula, which is: ,in, Indicates the incremental expansion of surface damage. Indicates the surface damage value. This represents the standardized damage propagation time step, obtained by dividing the damage propagation time step by a reference duration. The reference duration is selected based on the downstream application scenario, and the unit can be seconds, hours, or days. The standardized effective stress is obtained by dividing the effective stress by the material's yield strength. Effective stress is the actual stress after internal damage correction following the application of external stress, reflecting the reduction in load-bearing area due to internal damage. The material's yield strength is the critical stress at which plastic deformation occurs, obtained through tensile testing. The effective stress is calculated using the effective stress calculation formula: , Indicates effective stress. This indicates the stress applied in the scenario, that is, the actual load stress that the scrap steel bears in the downstream application scenario. This indicates the initial damage value inside the scrap steel. This represents the surface damage reference coefficient, reflecting the basic propagation rate of the material under unit effective stress and unit initial damage. This represents the stress sensitivity index, reflecting the degree of nonlinear influence of stress on damage propagation. This represents the surface damage sensitivity index, reflecting the self-accelerating effect of initial damage on further propagation. , and All of these are surface damage constants, calibrated through surface damage experiments, for example, by fitting the evolution rate under known stress and initial surface damage values. Step 34: Obtain the fatigue damage propagation increment based on the fatigue damage propagation formula, which is: ,in, Indicates the increment of fatigue damage propagation. This represents the fatigue damage baseline factor, reflecting the fundamental fatigue damage generated by the material per load cycle under a unit stress amplitude. The fatigue stress index represents the degree of nonlinearity in the effect of stress amplitude on fatigue damage. and These are all fatigue damage constants, calibrated through fatigue tests, for example, by fitting the damage accumulation rate under known stress amplitude and number of cycles. The standardized cyclic load stress amplitude is obtained by the ratio of the cyclic load stress amplitude to the material's yield strength. Indicates the cycle frequency. Indicates the time step of damage propagation; Step 35: Obtain the creep damage propagation increment based on the creep damage propagation formula, which is: ,in, Indicates the increment of creep damage propagation. This represents the creep damage baseline coefficient, reflecting the basic creep damage rate of a material under unit temperature and unit stress. The activation energy represents the effect of temperature on creep, and its unit is J / mol. The creep stress index represents the degree of nonlinearity in the effect of stress on the creep rate. , and These are all creep damage constants, calibrated through creep tests, such as obtaining them by fitting creep rates under different temperatures and stresses. The Arrhenius equation describes the thermal activation process. This represents the ideal gas constant, typically 8.314 J / (mol·K). This represents the scene temperature. It should be noted that the scene temperature unit is converted to Kelvin during calculation. The sustained static stress in the standardized downstream application scenario is obtained by the ratio of the sustained static stress in the downstream application scenario to the material yield strength. The sustained static stress in the downstream application scenario can be obtained by the ratio of the static load to the load-bearing cross-sectional area. Step 36: Obtain the internal damage expansion value of scrap steel by weighted summation of surface damage expansion increment, fatigue damage expansion increment and creep damage expansion increment. Obtain the comprehensive internal damage increment of scrap steel by multiplying the internal damage expansion value of scrap steel, the severity value of downstream use scenario and the use scenario conversion coefficient. The use scenario conversion coefficient is obtained by damage increment experiment. Prefabricate material samples with the same damage level and conduct fatigue / creep experiments under different severity values ​​of use scenarios. Record the damage increment, fit the curve, and the slope is the use scenario conversion coefficient. Step 37: Obtain the actual internal damage value of the scrap steel based on the sum of the initial internal damage value and the comprehensive increase of internal damage in the scrap steel; Step 38: Calculate the remaining service life of the scrap steel by importing the actual internal damage value into the remaining service life calculation formula. The remaining service life calculation formula is as follows: ,in, Indicates the design life. This indicates the actual internal damage value of the scrap steel. The attenuation factor of internal damage on service life is obtained through accelerated life testing. Material samples with different damage levels are prefabricated and fatigue / creep tests are conducted under the same working conditions. The actual failure life is recorded, and the slope of the fitted curve is the attenuation factor of internal damage on service life.

[0022] All weights in this embodiment are obtained using the coefficient of variation method. The steps are as follows: calculate the mean and standard deviation of each indicator, then divide the standard deviation of each indicator by its mean to obtain the coefficient of variation of that indicator, which represents the degree of dispersion of the indicator data. Then, add the coefficients of variation of each indicator together, and finally calculate the proportion of each coefficient of variation to the total to obtain the weight of each indicator.

[0023] Step 4: Assess whether the scrap steel meets the reuse standards based on its remaining service life.

[0024] In this embodiment, step four includes the following specific steps: The remaining service life of the scrap steel is compared with the preset service life. If the remaining service life of the scrap steel is greater than or equal to the preset service life, the scrap steel is judged to meet the reuse standard. If the remaining service life of the scrap steel is less than the preset service life, the scrap steel is judged not to meet the reuse standard.
