Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of concrete durability performance testing technology, specifically relating to an electrode structure and device for concrete electrical flux testing. Background Technology

[0002] The electrical flux of concrete is a crucial indicator for evaluating its resistance to chloride ion penetration. In electrical flux testing, the electrode-based testing apparatus directly impacts the accuracy and reliability of the results. Traditional electrode materials used for concrete electrical flux testing, such as stainless steel and copper, suffer from problems such as low conductivity, insufficient corrosion resistance, or the softness and susceptibility to deformation of copper, leading to errors in test results and short electrode lifespan. Figure 1 As shown, this is a test apparatus used in the prior art for testing the long-term performance and durability of concrete. It uses a copper mesh 3 as an electrode and a copper pad 9 as a reinforcing component.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of this application proposes an electrode structure for concrete electrical flux testing, comprising: an electrode body 10 made of silver-nickel alloy; the electrode body 10 is a sheet-like structure with a plurality of holes 11 distributed thereon, the holes 11 being arranged along a radial path of the sheet-like structure; the radial path is a plurality of concentric circular paths with successively increasing radii centered on the center of the sheet-like structure, the holes 11 being arranged along the concentric circular paths.

[0026] In this embodiment, the electrode body 10, made of a silver-nickel alloy, possesses excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, and its hardness is higher than that of copper materials used in the prior art. When used for concrete electrical flux testing, it eliminates the need for a backing plate, simplifying the apparatus while ensuring test accuracy and making it more suitable as an electrode structure for concrete electrical flux testing. Furthermore, the electrode body 10 in this embodiment has a sheet-like structure with multiple holes 11 arranged along a radial path to ensure sufficient contact between the detection element 4 and the reagent. Specifically, the radial path consists of four concentric circular paths with progressively increasing radii, centered on the center of the sheet-like structure. This arrangement ensures that the positions of the holes 11 corresponding to the two electrodes are as symmetrical as possible, reducing errors in the testing apparatus. Of course, those skilled in the art are motivated to adaptively adjust the number of concentric circular paths according to actual porosity requirements.

[0027] Optionally, the silver-nickel alloy contains 75% silver and 25% nickel, a ratio that gives the silver-nickel alloy good corrosion resistance, high strength, and electrical conductivity.

[0028] Specifically, the electrode body 10 has a circular structure. The circular structure of the electrode body 10 is more conducive to the symmetrical arrangement between the two electrodes when applied to the device. In addition, the detection element 4 is usually a cylindrical structure. The circular structure is also more economical. In this embodiment, the two electrode structures are respectively set on the two end faces of the detection element 4, with a diameter of 90mm and an area slightly larger than the end face area of ​​the detection element 4 to ensure the accuracy of the test.

[0029] Optionally, the thickness of the electrode body 10 is 1.5mm ± 0.1mm. Within this thickness range, the electrode body 10 can ensure its rigidity and prevent deformation during application. Excessive thickness will lead to increased costs.

[0030] Optionally, the holes 11 on the concentric circular paths are equidistant; the radii of the multiple concentric circular paths are increased equidistantly. The above two equidistant setting methods are adopted to further ensure the symmetry of the holes 11 of the two electrode structures in the device, and to provide a guarantee for the accuracy of detection.

[0031] Optionally, the sheet-like structure also has a hole 11 at its center, the hole 11 having a diameter of 6 mm, to further ensure that the detection element 4 is in full contact with the reagent.

[0032] Specifically, the surface of the electrode body 10 is provided with an oxide film structure to ensure the corrosion resistance of the electrode structure and improve its stability and service life. In this embodiment, the oxidation process parameters for forming the oxide film structure are: temperature of 250-300℃ and time of 10-20 min.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, another embodiment of this application proposes an apparatus for testing the electrical flux of concrete, including the electrode structure for testing the electrical flux of concrete described above.

[0035] This embodiment uses an electrode body 10 made of silver-nickel alloy, which enables the device for concrete electrical flux testing to have good conductivity and corrosion resistance while ensuring testing accuracy. It is more suitable for the testing environment of concrete electrical flux testing, and its hardness is higher than that of copper material used in the prior art. When used for concrete electrical flux testing, there is no need to set a pad, which simplifies the device.

[0036] Specifically, the device for testing the electrical flux of concrete further includes: a power supply 1, a test tank 2, a resistor 7, and a voltmeter 8. The positive and negative terminals of the power supply 1 are respectively connected to the two electrode structures. The two electrode structures are located in the test tank 2 and are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the test piece 4. The resistor 7 is arranged between the power supply 1 and the electrode structures. The voltmeter 8 is connected in parallel with the resistor 7, thereby constructing a device for testing the electrical flux of concrete with the electrode structure described above, reducing the copper pad 9 in the prior art, and simplifying the device.

[0037] Optionally, one side of the electrode body 10 is in contact with the detection element 4. To ensure good contact between the electrode body 10 and the detection element 4, the surface of the electrode body 10 is polished. The other side of the electrode body 10 is connected to a wire connection interface, which is a threaded connection or a plug-in connection. In this embodiment, a threaded connection is used to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0038] Specifically, each of the two electrodes forms a receiving cavity 12 for holding the test reagent between it and the test tank 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two cavities 12 respectively contain sodium chloride reagent and sodium hydroxide reagent for conducting concrete electrical flux tests.

[0040] The concrete specimen to be tested was vacuum-saturated with water and then installed in the device proposed in this embodiment. One chamber 12 contained a sodium chloride solution with a mass concentration of 3.0%, and its corresponding electrode structure was connected to the negative terminal of power supply 1. The other chamber 12 contained a sodium hydroxide solution with a molar concentration of 0.3 mol / L, and its corresponding electrode structure was connected to the positive terminal of power supply 1. A 60V DC power supply 1 was connected, and the current value was recorded and read at regular intervals for 6 hours. Finally, the electrical charge was calculated to obtain an electrical flux value of 809C.

[0041] Comparative Example 1

[0042] Compared with Example 2, this comparative example used the same batch of concrete specimens to be tested. After vacuum saturation with water, the specimens were installed in an existing electrical flux testing device. The copper mesh 3 electrode on one side of the test tank 2 containing a 3.0% sodium chloride solution was connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 1, and the copper mesh 3 electrode on one side of the test tank 2 containing a 0.3 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution was connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 1. A 60V DC power supply 1 was connected, and the current value was recorded and read at regular intervals for 6 hours. Finally, the electrical flux was calculated to be 821C.

[0043] It can be concluded that the test results of Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 differ by only 1.5%, indicating that the concrete electrical flux data obtained using the test device proposed in Example 2 is highly consistent with the prior art.

[0044] The electrode body 10 made of silver-nickel alloy in this application has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, which extends the service life of the electrode structure and reduces the test cost compared with the prior art. Moreover, its hardness is higher than that of the copper material used in the prior art. When used for concrete electric flux test, there is no need to set a pad. While ensuring the accuracy of the test, it simplifies the device and is more suitable as an electrode structure for concrete electric flux test.
