Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a stress corrosion fatigue test fixture with solution temperature control, belonging to the field of test fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] Stress corrosion fatigue is a phenomenon of material failure caused by the combined effects of mechanical stress and a corrosive environment. Its severity has attracted much attention in aerospace, energy, chemical and other fields. Although traditional stress corrosion fatigue testing equipment can simulate basic corrosive environments, it has significant shortcomings in terms of temperature control accuracy and experimental adaptability. In particular, existing equipment is difficult to meet the requirements of testing scenarios involving high precision or specific temperature requirements.

[0003] Temperature is a crucial parameter affecting the corrosion process; different temperature conditions can significantly alter the corrosion behavior and fatigue properties of materials. For example, in tests simulating human body environments, it is typically necessary to precisely control the solution temperature within a range close to body temperature, around 35°C. However, existing testing equipment struggles to provide stable and accurate temperature control capabilities. Furthermore, testing in high-temperature corrosive environments, such as the service conditions of petrochemical equipment, demands even more stringent experimental requirements, further highlighting the limitations of current technologies.

[0004] Existing stress corrosion fatigue testing fixtures are typically used to simulate the fatigue performance of materials under specific environments, but existing devices have limitations in liquid temperature control. Temperature is a crucial factor affecting corrosion rate and fatigue performance, especially for experiments simulating human body environments or high-temperature environments, where precise temperature control is paramount. Therefore, designing a stress corrosion fatigue testing fixture with liquid temperature control functionality is essential. Utility Model Content
