Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lifetime prediction technology, specifically relating to an online method for predicting the remaining lifetime of a chlorine-rich high-temperature environment coupled with stress system. Background Technology
[0002] Under chlorine-rich high-temperature conditions, metal / alloy components are prone to selective oxidation, chlorination-oxidation cycles, and oxide scale peeling; simultaneously, significant creep occurs under long-term constant loads. Corrosion reduces the effective load-bearing cross-section, increasing effective stress and thus significantly accelerating creep and damage evolution. Existing assessments often separate corrosion and creep, and lack real-time online coupled assessment and early warning methods.
[0003] In the harsh environment of high-temperature, chlorine-rich conditions, metal and alloy components face multiple threats of damage. Selective oxidation causes more reactive elements in the alloy to preferentially combine with oxygen, disrupting the original compositional homogeneity. For example, chromium alloys easily form chromium oxides in this environment, leading to a decrease in matrix strength. The chlorination-oxidation cycle is even more complex. Chlorine first reacts with the metal to form volatile chlorides, which then react with oxygen to regenerate oxides and release chlorine, forming a cycle of corrosion, volatilization, and re-oxidation that continuously erodes the interior of the component. Oxide scale peeling further exacerbates the damage. The oxide protective layer formed at high temperatures is prone to cracking and peeling off under temperature fluctuations or external forces due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the oxide layer and the matrix, exposing the fresh metal surface to the corrosive environment. At the same time, components also undergo significant creep under long-term constant loads, meaning that the material slowly undergoes plastic deformation under high temperature and continuous stress. Over time, the deformation accumulates, gradually weakening the structural stability of the component.
[0004] Corrosion causes a continuous reduction in the effective load-bearing cross-section of metal components, leading to an increase in the effective stress borne by the component under constant load. According to creep theory, increased stress significantly accelerates the creep process, making internal cracks in the material more likely to initiate and propagate, thereby accelerating the overall damage evolution. This creates a vicious cycle where corrosion exacerbates stress, stress accelerates creep, and creep amplifies damage, drastically shortening the service life of the component.
[0005] However, current damage assessment methods for such components have significant shortcomings. Existing methods often treat corrosion and creep as independent processes and assess them separately, ignoring their coupling relationship. This leads to discrepancies between the assessment results and the actual damage, making it difficult to accurately reflect the true safety status of the components. More importantly, there is a lack of technical means to monitor the coupling effect of corrosion and creep in real time, making it impossible to capture the dynamic evolution of component damage in a timely manner and providing timely early warnings for equipment operation and maintenance. This poses a serious safety hazard in fields such as chemical engineering and energy that rely on equipment in high-temperature, chlorine-rich environments. Future research urgently needs to develop coupled assessment technologies and online early warning systems to provide more reliable guarantees for the safe service of metal components.
[0006] Existing patents, such as the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN120671513A entitled "A Method for Predicting Wear of Four-Tube Boiler Tubes Based on Big Data Algorithms," disclose a method for predicting wear of four-tube boiler tubes based on big data algorithms, comprising the following steps: constructing a three-dimensional digital model of the four boiler tubes and spatially binding design parameters, historical operation and maintenance records, and real-time monitoring data to form a multi-source associated database; constructing a tube wall temperature prediction model using a heat conduction mechanism model and a neural network algorithm, and outputting the wall temperature distribution data of the entire heated surface; inputting this data into a wear, creep, and corrosion model, and combining it with historical tube rupture cases to calculate the remaining life and generate a life map; using a leakage risk probability algorithm and a coupled risk coefficient model to generate a three-dimensional risk thermal distribution map; and overlaying the thermal map onto the three-dimensional digital model and displaying the risk level based on color gradient mapping.
[0007] The life prediction model in the aforementioned patent is based on wall temperature distribution data. Its three aspects—wear prediction, high-temperature creep model, and corrosion rate prediction—are all obtained indirectly through temperature data input, querying related databases, or using temperature-related kinetic models. The entire process does not involve direct measurement of the corrosion rate. The patent uses the Larson-Miller relationship, which converts temperature-time to fracture data into a time-temperature parameter for creep fracture life assessment and extrapolation. It does not delve into the relationship between stress and corrosion, focusing primarily on temperature. The real-time monitoring dataset in the patent uses an acoustic emission monitoring device for corrosion rate measurement. Acoustic emission monitoring devices are difficult to quantify corrosion rates due to the lack of universal conversion; they are highly susceptible to variations in material, stress, damage mechanism, and propagation path, requiring extensive calibration. Furthermore, mechanical vibration, flow turbulence, cavitation, particle erosion, leakage, and valve operation all generate sound, necessitating complex filtering and feature extraction in acoustic emission monitoring, leading to a high risk of false alarms / missed alarms in the field.

The Norton-Bailey relation provides a constitutive law for strain (or steady-state strain rate)-stress-time-temperature, used for calculating the strain evolution throughout the entire process. This application employs an online electrochemical measurement method, which can directly provide... Quantitative analysis is more direct using parameters such as Rp, membrane resistance / capacitance, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0060] In step S1, the linear polarization method (LPR) data measured by electrochemical methods is the polarization resistance. ,pass The corrosion rate was calculated. .
[0061] Calculate corrosion rate :
[0062] In the formula Here, t represents time, and A represents the effective corrosion area. It is the density of the metal; in , in the formula Let n be the Faraday constant, M be the molar mass of the metal used, and n be the number of electrons transferred. Taking Fe as an example, M is 56 mol / kg. Fe 2+ n is 2.
[0063] In step S2, the specific calculation process for the corrosion current density is as follows: First, the linear polarization resistance that changes over time is obtained. Since the polarization resistance changes over time, the polarization resistance at each moment... different;
[0064] in, It is the change in voltage. It is the change in current; the linear polarization method involves applying a small voltage to the system and then measuring the change in current. The ratio of the two is the polarization resistance.
[0065] Then calculate the corrosion current density :
[0066] In the formula, B is the Stern–Geary constant, and the corrosion rate is... That is, the instantaneous thickness loss rate Then the cumulative thickness loss for:
[0067] B is determined by the slope of Tafel. , Computational or experimental fitting,
[0068] In the formula The Tafel slope is the anode slope. The cathode Tafel slope is determined by the Tafel polarization experiment. In step S3, corrosion thinning is converted into a change in cross-sectional area over time, and the effective thickness at time t is... for:
[0069] In the formula Initial thickness (mm); For any small positive number (such as 10) -6 mm), to prevent numerical algorithms from dividing by zero or producing negative thickness; Material width at time t for:
[0070] In the above formula Initial width (mm); The load-bearing cross section (mm²) at time t. for:
[0071] Degradation coefficient for:
[0072] The value range is 0 < ≤1; =1: Indicates that the material retains its initial load-bearing capacity (no degradation); <1: Indicates a decrease (degradation) in load-bearing capacity due to high temperature, corrosion, tissue evolution, etc. For the damage variable in Kachanov-Rabotnov (KR); This is the damage intensity reduction factor (dimensionless).
[0073] True stress and effective stress (dead load tension) Under a constant load F, corrosion causes A(t) to decrease, and the true stress... It will increase over time, true stress for:
[0074] In the formula The loading force (N) is set and recorded by the testing machine / loading device; True stress (MPa) is recommended for creep constitutive models, converting material mechanical degradation into equivalent stress; the more the material deteriorates, the higher the stress level. The smaller, The larger the effective stress, the greater the effective stress. for:
[0075] In the formula ∈(0,1]: Intensity degradation coefficient, 1 indicates no degradation, the smaller the value, the weaker the degradation. Considering the localized stress concentration caused by pitting corrosion, the effective stress considering pitting corrosion is obtained. for:
[0076] in This is the effective notch coefficient (the amplification effect of pitting / notch), and ≥1, multiplied by the effective gap coefficient if necessary. Make localized conservatives, among which To account for the actual stress in the presence of pitting, these two formulas for calculating effective stress are essentially the same, except that one does not consider pitting corrosion while the other does.
[0077] Often caused by purely elastic geometric effects Notch sensitivity calibration of materials:
[0078] In the formula , ∈[0,1] is calibrated by comparative experiments. A single surface pitting is approximated as a U-shaped groove / elliptical notch; a commonly used engineering approximation under uniaxial tension is: , The pit depth (mm) can be measured by metallography / white light interference / confocal microscopy or a needle gauge; The radius of curvature (mm) of the pit opening / bottom can be obtained by fitting the contour curve.
[0079] In step S4, the instantaneous creep strain rate under the current temperature and stress is... for:
[0080] Considering the instantaneous creep strain rate of pitting corrosion for:
[0081] In the formula , For material constants, R is the equivalent activation energy (J / mol) and R is the gas constant. , The product of the two is the absolute temperature. The dimension of energy is per mole. Let RT be the product of RT and RT at time t.
[0082] Bundle , Substituting Norton–Bailey, we get This can be used to: directly integrate the cumulative creep strain; or as a rate term in the coupled damage index. Its physical meaning is: the higher the temperature, the greater the effective stress, and the faster the creep.
[0083] A coupled damage model is constructed, in which creep accumulation, corrosion accumulation, and local activation (EN) are weighted and integrated into a 0-1 index, which serves as the damage index for early warning. for:
[0084] in the formula , , The weighting coefficients (dimensionless) are set / fitted according to the mechanism and data quality you want to emphasize.
[0085] This represents the electrochemical noise power spectral density characteristics (reflecting film rupture / local pitting activity). This is a dimensionless damage index (between 0 and 1), used for early warning. Its physical meaning can be understood as: when... The system is in a healthy state; when : Approaching the failure threshold (e.g., pitting / cracking).
[0086] Failure / downtime criteria; providing geometric limits or comprehensive damage thresholds to trigger failure determination.
[0087]
[0088] In the formula Minimum safe thickness (as specified in the standard / design). Alarm thresholds are determined based on experience or historical data (e.g., 0.6–0.8). This refers to a failure event.
[0089] In step S5, the Kachanov-Rabotnov creep damage (mechanistic type) is as follows: Classical creep damage evolution; ω→1 approaches failure.
[0090]
[0091] Bundle , Substitute the Kachanov-Rabotnov equations and integrate to obtain the damage variable. ∈[0,1), using damage variables →1 (or threshold) to determine the failure time , , , , These are material constants and require experimental fitting (constant temperature and constant load / graded load data can be used).
[0092] In step S6, the remaining lifetime The minimum safe thickness in this step is based on the calculation in step S4, and the purpose is to... Determine the failure event (represented by a Boolean value), and then use... This formula. Step S5 mentions damage threshold determination; the damage model determination method uses the model for calculating D(t) established in step S4. Therefore, it is related to the damage index D(t) in step S4, and the failure criterion is set as... ,exist
[0093]
[0094] Refers to the future time The damage index is dimensionless and can be calculated from S4. This is a critical threshold (dimensionless); reaching or exceeding it determines failure. Defined as Then the comparison and judgment of damage indicators is transformed into the direct output of failure events. The above formula can be simplified to:
[0095]
[0096] In the formula The moment when any threshold is first met. As a future time variable, used in a set Iterate through all possible future moments. For at any time The event that causes failure (which can be represented by a Boolean value), where T represents the current moment, i.e., now, and RUL stands for RUL. Remaining Useful Life It means remaining lifespan. Let Inf be the remaining lifetime at time t. Inf stands for infimum, meaning the infimum or minimum lower bound. In the formula, it takes all values that satisfy the condition. The earliest minimum value in the middle; The moment when any threshold is first met is the failure moment. If failure has already occurred at this moment, then... If it never expires within the observation window, theoretically... .
[0097] In step 7, a risk index and a dynamic threshold are used to score and determine the current risk in real time; the higher the value, the higher the risk. for:
[0098] , , The weighted coefficients (which can be normalized to a sum of 1) are selected from the validation set. Determining the outcome through logistic regression / Bayesian optimization based on historical events (hazards / maintenance). Dynamic threshold It adapts to different operating conditions; the threshold value changes as temperature, atmosphere, or load changes.
[0099]
[0100]
[0101] , ,: Historical baseline mean and standard deviation; This is the quantile coefficient (e.g., 1.96 corresponds to 95%). This is a working condition correction factor (e.g., the threshold is lowered slightly at high temperatures for a more conservative approach). The higher the number, the higher the risk. Used to trigger an alert; Reflecting temperature With atmospheric components The influence of factors such as O2 / CO2 / HCl / Cl2 on the threshold. If the environment is more severe (high temperature, chlorine-rich) → The threshold is lowered for a more conservative approach; if the environment is relatively mild → The threshold was raised to reduce false alarms.
[0102] Step S6 has given the RUL, but in order to perform risk control during operation, step S7, "Risk Index and Dynamic Threshold," is still required: This involves setting the current corrosion intensity (…). ), creep rate ( ) and damage accumulation ( The results are combined into a real-time score RI(t) and compared with a threshold that adapts to different operating conditions. ;When RI(t)≥ Immediately triggering a yellow / red alert and providing suggestions for actions such as cooling, load reduction, and dust removal. Step S7 can provide early warnings for short-term anomalies such as temperature surges, sudden increases in chlorine richness, or pitting activation, maintaining consistent alarm standards across different temperatures / atmospheres / loads, reducing false alarms and missed alarms, and converting continuous diagnostic results into actionable controls; it also serves as a second layer of protection for RUL calculations, preventing risk accumulation from causing a sudden drop in lifespan assessment later. Therefore, step S6 focuses on lifespan planning, while step S7 focuses on online safety and operational decision-making, and the two complement each other.

Defined as Then the comparison and judgment of damage indicators is transformed into the direct output of failure events. The above formula can be simplified to: In the formula The moment when any threshold is first met. As a future time variable, used in a set Iterate through all possible future moments. For at any time The event that causes failure, where T represents the current time. Let be the remaining lifetime at time t. The moment when any threshold is first met, i.e., the failure moment.
10. The method for online prediction of the remaining lifetime of a chlorine-rich high-temperature environment coupled with stress system according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step 7, the risk index for: , , The weighting coefficients are selected based on the validation set. Determined through logistic regression / Bayesian optimization based on historical events; Dynamic threshold Adaptive to different operating conditions , ,: Historical baseline mean and standard deviation; Quantitative coefficients; This is a working condition correction factor; The higher the number, the higher the risk. Used to trigger an alert; Reflecting temperature With atmospheric components The impact on the threshold.
