Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ship coating inspection technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, equipment, and readable storage medium for predicting the lifespan of ship coatings. Background Technology

[0002] Coatings are a crucial line of defense protecting ship hull steel from seawater corrosion. Once the coating fails, corrosion occurs and spreads rapidly, especially in critical areas such as ballast tanks, cargo oil tanks, and the outer hull plating. The condition of the hull coating directly affects ship resistance; coating degradation or excessive marine organism adhesion significantly increases drag, leading to increased main engine load, higher fuel consumption, and even affecting ship maneuverability and speed. Therefore, accurate and real-time prediction of ship coating lifespan is essential, along with timely early warning and maintenance to ensure the ship's structural strength and performance.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for predicting ship coatings are as follows: (1) Estimate the average life of the coating based on the historical maintenance and inspection records of similar vessels (similar routes, operating modes, and vessel age). Although this method is simple and intuitive, it is too general and cannot take into account the individual circumstances of a single vessel, and lacks reference for new vessel types, new routes, and new coatings.

[0004] (2) The coated samples were placed in experimental environments that accelerate aging, such as salt spray, ultraviolet light, and cyclic immersion, to simulate years of degradation. Combined with test data and some theories (such as Fick's diffusion law for the simulation of water vapor penetration), a mathematical model of the coating performance decay over time was attempted to be established. Although this method is highly controllable, the laboratory environment cannot fully simulate the real, variable and interactive marine environment, and its predictive accuracy is questionable.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] This invention provides a method for predicting the lifespan of ship coatings. This method can be executed by an electronic device, which can be a server or a terminal device. The server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services. The terminal device can be a smartphone, tablet computer, desktop computer, wearable device, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for predicting the lifespan of a ship coating provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the main process of this method is described below (steps S101 to S105): Step S101: Determine the baseline degradation rate of the coating under test under the baseline data of each lifetime influencing factor. Step S102: Establish the influence function of each lifespan influencing factor based on the baseline data, actual data, and influence coefficient of each lifespan influencing factor; Step S103: Obtain the actual data of each lifespan influencing factor, substitute the actual data into the influence function, and calculate the influence coefficient of each lifespan influencing factor respectively. Step S104: Substitute the influence coefficients of each lifespan influencing factor and the baseline degradation rate into the nonlinear product model to calculate the predicted degradation rate. Step S105: Calculate the predicted service life of the coating under test based on the predicted degradation rate.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lifespan influencing factors include at least two of the following: seawater temperature, salinity, pH value, ultraviolet radiation intensity, pollutants, mechanical wear, biofouling, route area, and effective thickness.

[0022] Before determining the baseline degradation rate of the coating under test under the baseline data of each lifetime influencing factor, it is necessary to define the baseline conditions for the coating. These baseline conditions include the baseline data corresponding to each lifetime influencing factor, such as seawater temperature of 10°C, salinity of 3.5%, absence of pollutants, and absence of ultraviolet radiation. A large amount of historical performance data of the coating under test under or near-baseline conditions is obtained, and regression analysis is performed on this historical performance data to obtain the baseline degradation rate. For example, the least squares method is used to fit a linear / nonlinear model of the performance index changing over time; power-law models or exponential models are commonly used. The significance of the model is tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the coefficient of determination R is calculated. 2 A value greater than 0.8 ensures goodness of fit, and confidence intervals are used to assess the uncertainty of the baseline degradation rate.

[0023] Of course, existing standard laboratory test conditions can be selected as benchmark conditions, such as the test conditions under the ISO 12944 standard. The performance data of each lifetime influencing factor of the coating under test under these standard laboratory test conditions can be monitored periodically, and a benchmark degradation rate can be calculated based on the performance data. For example, a performance degradation rate Δ can be established. P With exposure time t Functional relationship P ( t )= P 0 kt n The baseline degradation rate is obtained through linear regression or power-law fitting, where... P 0 represents the initial performance value of the coating under test. n It is a degradation kinetic index used to characterize the shape of the degradation curve. n =1 indicates linear degeneracy. n <1 indicates a gradual decline in quality, with a fast initial rate and a slow later rate. n >1 indicates accelerated degradation, determined by fitting experimental data using nonlinear regression. n and k value.

[0024] In this embodiment, the baseline degradation rate refers to the rate at which the coating under test thins or degrades in performance per unit time under baseline conditions. Its unit can be micrometers per year (thickness loss) or % performance loss per year.

[0025] Coating failure (such as rust, peeling, and blistering) is a process of cumulative damage over time. Each lifespan influencing factor accelerates or slows down this damage process to varying degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a multi-factor degradation model to predict the service life of ship coatings through a more scientific mathematical model.

[0026] An influence coefficient is established for each lifespan influencing factor, representing its accelerating or decelerating effect relative to baseline conditions. An influence coefficient of 1 indicates that the lifespan influencing factor is no different from the baseline conditions; a coefficient greater than 1 indicates accelerated degradation; and a coefficient less than 1 indicates decelerated degradation. By combining physicochemical principles with data-driven methods, and using baseline data, actual data, and influence coefficients to construct the influence function for each lifespan influencing factor, a scientific and quantitative tool is provided for predicting the lifespan of ship coatings.

[0027] The influence functions of each lifespan influencing factor are explained in detail below.

[0028] (1) Seawater temperature The influence function is constructed based on the Arrhenius equation, which states that as seawater temperature increases, the chemical reaction rate (corrosion, coating aging) increases exponentially. The formula for the influence function of seawater temperature is: ; In the formula, The coefficient representing the influence of seawater temperature; The activation energy of the degradation reaction of the coating under test (provided by the coating supplier or determined experimentally); It is the ideal gas constant (a fundamental physical constant connecting the pressure, volume, temperature and amount of substance of an ideal gas; under standard conditions, 1 mole of an ideal gas does 8.314 joules of work for expansion when the temperature increases by 1 Kelvin). The reference seawater temperature (Kelvin scale); The actual seawater temperature (Kelvin scale); e≈2.71828.

[0029] It should be noted that the activation energy of a coating degradation reaction refers to the minimum energy barrier that the coating material must overcome to undergo chemical or physical degradation (such as oxidation, corrosion, hydrolysis, thermal decomposition, etc.). It reflects the stability of the coating against degradation reactions; the higher the activation energy, the more stable the coating and the slower the degradation rate; conversely, the lower the activation energy, the easier the degradation reaction occurs.

[0030] (2) Salinity Salinity and electrochemical corrosion are generally positively correlated; that is, the higher the salinity, the more severe the electrochemical corrosion. Therefore, the formula for the effect function of salinity is: ; In the formula, The influence coefficient of salinity; As the baseline salinity; This refers to the actual salinity. , These are the fitting parameters (the value is usually 1, which can be used as a preliminary approximation).

[0031] (3) pH value Strong acid or strong alkali environments accelerate coating failure and substrate corrosion, exhibiting a non-linear relationship. Therefore, the formula for the effect function of pH value is: ; In the formula, The influence coefficient of pH value; The pH reference value is typically 7 or 8.2 for marine environments. This is the actual pH value; , These are the fitting parameters.

[0032] (4) Ultraviolet radiation intensity Ultraviolet radiation causes polymer coating chain breakage and pulverization, showing a positive correlation. Therefore, the formula for the effect function of ultraviolet radiation intensity is: ; In the formula, The influence coefficient of ultraviolet radiation intensity; This serves as a reference value for ultraviolet radiation intensity. This represents the actual value of ultraviolet radiation intensity.

[0033] (5) Pollutants This is a complex factor that needs to be quantified. It can be a concentration index of petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, organic matter, etc. The formula for the pollutant's influence function is: ; In the formula, C represents the impact coefficient of pollutants; C represents the measured concentration of pollutant. This is the lowest observed value; This is the highest observed value; These are the fitting parameters.

[0034] (6) Mechanical wear The formula for the effect function of mechanical wear is: ; In the formula, The coefficient representing the influence of mechanical wear; Average speed; Used as the base speed; This refers to the sailing time ratio (the ratio of sailing time to total operating time).

[0035] (7) Biofouling The formula for the effect function of biofouling is: ; In the formula, The impact coefficient of biofouling; The length of stay in port (longer berthing can lead to more severe biofouling); These are the fitting parameters; This refers to the sailing time ratio (the ratio of sailing time to total operating time).

[0036] (8) Route area This is a macro-geographic factor that integrates the typical environments (temperature, salinity, biological activity) of different sea areas, and can be regarded as a correction multiplier.

[0037] Influence coefficient of the route area You can obtain the relevant sea area correction factor table for EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) by consulting the table. This table reflects the impact of actual sea conditions on the reduction of ship speed and is used to more realistically assess the energy efficiency performance of ships in actual operation. For example, the value is 0.9 for the Baltic Sea, 1.5 for tropical seas, and 0.7 for Arctic seas.

[0038] (9) Effective thickness Effective thickness is related to coating type, dry film thickness, and application quality. Therefore, the formula for the influence function of effective thickness is: ; In the formula, The influence coefficient of effective thickness; This refers to the actual dry film thickness. This represents the minimum design dry film thickness of the coating to be tested. The construction quality coefficient (0.8~1.2) is determined by a third-party inspection report (for example, 1.2 represents excellent construction, 1.0 represents standard construction, and 0.8 represents defective construction).

[0039] It should be noted that, , , , , The values ​​of these fitting parameters are determined by fitting experimental data to ensure that the model predictions best match the measured data. In this embodiment, the predicted degradation rate refers to the rate at which the coating under test thins or degrades in performance per unit time under current operating conditions. Its unit can be micrometers per year (thickness loss) or % performance loss per year.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, a nonlinear product model will be used to integrate the various lifetime-affecting factors in order to better reflect the synergistic effect among the factors. The formula for the nonlinear product model is as follows: ; In the formula, To predict the rate of degradation; The baseline degradation rate; The coefficient representing the influence of seawater temperature; The influence coefficient of salinity; The influence coefficient of pH value; The influence coefficient of ultraviolet radiation intensity; The impact coefficient of pollutants; The coefficient representing the influence of mechanical wear; The impact coefficient of biofouling; The influence coefficient for the air route area; The influence coefficient of effective thickness.

[0041] The service life L of a coating (in years) is not a fixed value, but rather the reciprocal of its degradation rate R. The degradation rate R itself is a function of multiple lifespan influencing factors (environmental factors and operational factors), and is the sum of the degradation rates caused by all lifespan influencing factors. Its basic formula is: .

[0042] In some optional embodiments, after calculating the predicted degradation rate of the coating to be tested, the actual dry film thickness and the minimum designed dry film thickness of the coating to be tested are obtained; the actual dry film thickness, the minimum designed dry film thickness, and the predicted degradation rate are substituted into the first formula to calculate the predicted service life.

[0043] The first formula is: ; In the formula, The predicted service life is in years; This refers to the actual dry film thickness. Minimum design dry film thickness; The thickness of the coating that can be consumed is the reserve of thickness that can be watched to degrade without the risk of immediate failure; it is measured in micrometers. To predict the degradation rate.

[0044] Furthermore, if the calculated remaining thickness is less than the preset lifespan, such as 2 years, then the next inspection or maintenance needs to be planned to prevent equipment corrosion due to coating failure. Compared to traditional scheduled or reactive maintenance, this method significantly saves costs and improves safety. The preset lifespan can be set based on factors such as port coordination time, approval time, and bidding processes.
