Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an auxiliary tooling, in particular to an auxiliary tooling for ultrasonic flaw detection of nuclear-grade stainless steel outer sleeves. Background Technique
[0002] Seamless steel pipes are common metallurgical and steel products. From metal smelting, steel rolling to finished product leaving the factory, several processes are required. In order to ensure that the processing quality of seamless steel pipes meets the corresponding technical requirements, non-destructive flaw detection inspection is required after the corresponding deformation processing processes.
[0003] Ultrasonic flaw detection has the characteristics of good directivity, short wavelength, small loss in high-density solids, and large reflection at the interface of different density media. It has a high detection rate for area-type defects and can meet the flaw detection requirements for defects such as internal structure cracks, lap joints, inclusions, corrosion pits, and improperly processed plastic compression layers. The inspection cost is low, the speed is fast, the inspection instrument is small in volume and light in weight, and it is convenient to use on-site. Therefore, it is called the main non-destructive flaw detection method in the current quality inspection process of seamless steel pipes.
[0004] The seamless steel pipe of 0Cr17Ni12Mo2Ti has the brand number 316Ti and is used for the stainless steel outer sleeves of nuclear-related facility components. The finished product is a hexagonal seamless steel pipe, which is processed into a φ68.3*1.3mm circular seamless steel pipe first and then processed into a hexagonal shape. Therefore, only by ensuring that the processing quality of the φ68.3*1.3mm circular seamless steel pipe meets the technical requirements can high-quality pipe blanks be provided for the production of hexagonal seamless steel pipes. Due to the special use of this type of seamless steel pipe, the quality requirements for pipe processing are extremely strict. Therefore, ultrasonic flaw detection is used as the main method for non-destructive detection of the process quality and is also the key process to ensure its processing quality.
[0005] When the existing auxiliary tooling for ultrasonic flaw detection of nuclear-grade stainless steel outer sleeves is in use, it is unable to perform flaw detection on the circumferential and transverse directions of the nuclear-grade stainless steel outer sleeves well. For some rotatable or laterally adjustable mechanisms, the adjustment is complex and the use cost is high, which is not conducive to use. Content of the Utility Model
