TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to material corrosion technical field especially relates to a simulation in situ electrochemistry monitoring experiment device of marine tidal difference area corrosion. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development and utilization of marine resources, the basic framework used in marine industry development is composed of steel structure or reinforced concrete structure, which will face serious corrosion problems in marine environment. When steel corrosion occurs, not only the building itself is destroyed, the service life is shortened, and the resources are wasted, but also sudden disaster accidents caused by corrosion are caused.
[0003] Seawater is a strong electrolyte solution, and marine environment is a very complex specific corrosion environment. From the perspective of corrosion, marine environment can be divided into five zones, namely marine atmospheric zone, splash zone, marine tidal zone, seawater immersion zone and seabed soil zone. The corrosion damage processes of different corrosion zones are different. Among them, the tidal zone refers to the area between the average low tide level and the average high tide level. The corrosion environment for unprotected metal components is extremely harsh. The steel structure in this area is periodically wetted by seawater and is always in a dry-wet alternating state. In addition, oxygen supply is sufficient, temperature difference and wave impact, as well as the effect of salt concentration on the sample surface after seawater retreat, often make the protective measures fail, resulting in serious corrosion, greatly reducing the bearing capacity of the whole steel structure and affecting the normal safe use, and shortening the service life of the steel structure.
[0004] The existing marine environment simulation device mainly focuses on the corrosion weight loss of the hanging piece of the material. Although the weight loss method has the advantages of true condition and reliable result, the disadvantage is that only the average corrosion rate can be obtained, and the corrosion mechanism and the rapid evolution law of the corrosion process with time cannot be explained. Electrochemical measurement can obtain in-situ, dynamic and continuous corrosion data during exposure, which is of great significance to the study of corrosion mechanism. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an electrochemical test device that can simulate the corrosion process of tidal difference. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

The device can solve the problems that a test piece is easily lost in the open sea, is affected by multiple environmental interferences, and a real reason for corrosion of a material in a tidal zone is difficult to explain, and can realize electrochemical in-situ monitoring research of multiple size components.
[0063] The in-situ electrochemical monitoring experimental device for simulating corrosion in a marine tidal zone provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a water storage tank 1 and an experimental water tank 2, and two water tanks (the water storage tank 1 and the experimental water tank 2) are completely independent, and automatic tidal water fluctuation is realized through two sets of waterway systems.

Meanwhile, a stepping motor 11 installed on the slide can control the forward and backward movement of an electrochemical test probe (an electrochemical probe).
[0064] The utility model has the advantages and positive effects that:
[0065] 1. The test results are authentic and reliable. This invention can realistically simulate the corrosion environment of the ocean tidal zone, and has a good correspondence with the actual corrosion environment of the tidal zone. It saves the manpower, material resources and financial resources required to conduct experiments in the actual ocean tidal zone, and solves the problems of sample loss caused by complex and changeable environment, difficulty in realizing in-situ electrochemical testing and personnel operation safety, while ensuring the integrity of the obtained data and the authenticity and reliability of the test results.
[0066] 2. Samples are easy to install and observe. This utility model device can be used indoors in a fixed location. By simulating the tidal range variation, it enables in-situ monitoring and research of electrochemical corrosion of materials under this environment, avoiding the difficulties in installation and timely in-situ testing of material corrosion status in actual marine environments.
[0067] 3. Simulates diverse tidal level changes. This invention can simulate various tidal level changes in actual marine environments, including semi-diurnal and diurnal tides, and can also be used to study the corrosion patterns of irregular tidal level changes in certain characteristic sea areas.
[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention includes an experimental water tank 2 for in-situ monitoring of electrochemical samples. Before the experiment begins, the tide rise and fall times are set, and then the prepared seawater solution is injected into the experimental water tank 2 until the highest tide line is reached. Then, the first diaphragm pump 5 is started, and the first flow meter 4 is adjusted to control the flow rate, injecting seawater from the first water pipe 3 into the water storage tank 1 at a stable speed according to the preset time. When the water level in the experimental water tank 2 reaches the lowest tide level, the first diaphragm pump 5 stops working. This process simulates the ebb tide. Simultaneously, the second diaphragm pump 8 starts working, and the second flow meter 7 is adjusted to control the set flow rate, injecting seawater from the second water pipe 6 into the experimental water tank 2 at a stable speed according to the preset time. When the seawater solution in the experimental water tank 2 rises to the highest tide line, the second diaphragm pump 8 automatically stops working. This process simulates the rising tide. Completing one ebb and rise tide cycle represents experiencing one tide rise and fall. This cycle is repeated to automatically simulate the rise and fall of seawater in the tidal zone. A schematic diagram of the reference electrode used in this electrochemical test is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, it can be used as an electrochemical probe. Before the test, adjust valve 24 to ensure that the surface of the sponge probe 18 is always wet, but without any droplets flowing out. When the test starts, the preset stepper motor working time controls the electrochemical probe to move to the sample surface. After the test is completed, the electrochemical probe is returned to its original position.
[0069] Verification of the accuracy of test results:
[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In this context, Height represents the tidal level in cm, Ecorr represents the corrosion potential in V, and t represents time in hours.
[0071] The potential test results corresponding to the tidal level change curve during the two tidal range processes in 24 hours, positions 1-4 correspond to four monitoring positions, respectively representing the highest tidal level, the middle tidal level, the middle-low tidal level and the lowest tidal level. It can be seen from the potential change results that the potential values are different at different positions, the closer to the low tide area, the lower the potential, and the closer to the high tide area, the higher the potential value. At the same time, with the increase of the tidal level, at positions 1-3, when the test position is submerged by seawater, the potential gradually decreases; when the test position is exposed to the water surface, with the decrease of the tidal level, the potential gradually increases, and then decreases again when the test position is submerged by seawater again, and the cycle is repeated. The potential of position 4 at the lowest tidal level does not change with the change of the tidal level. This means that the materials at different parts of the tidal range area will be corroded to different degrees due to different environmental effects, which is also the fundamental reason why the test sample is most severely corroded in the middle tidal area, followed by the low tidal area, the highest tidal area close to the atmospheric area is corroded slower than the tidal range area, and the lowest tidal area close to the fully immersed area is corroded the slowest. Although there is a certain difference between the indoor simulated tidal height and the actual marine tidal height, the corrosion change regularity is basically the same after being reduced in proportion in the indoor simulated seawater tidal range fluctuation environment in the experimental device of the utility model, which proves the reliability and accuracy of the utility model, and the importance of the utility model for the corrosion research of materials in the tidal range area.
[0072] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, but not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
