DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Next, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a temperature history analysis system 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The temperature history analysis system 1 shown in FIG. 1 analyzes the temperature history of a target surface, and obtains information related to the highest heat temperature received by the target surface from the temperature history. The target surface is a surface of a high-temperature component after being exposed to heat. A non-limiting example of a high-temperature component is the surface of a high-temperature part of a gas turbine. Examples of high-temperature parts of a gas turbine are a turbine blade, a turbine shroud, and a combustor. The temperature history of the surface of a high-temperature material obtained by the temperature history analysis system 1 can be used to estimate the temperature of the environment in which the high-temperature component is used, diagnose the soundness of the high-temperature component, and the like.
[0013] The target surface according to the present embodiment is a ceramic spray coating having heat resistance formed by spraying a ceramic spray material on a ceramic substrate. The spraying process is a surface treatment technique in which the spray material is collided with the substrate in a molten or semi-molten state to form a coating by laminating the spray material on the surface of the substrate. The coating formed by the spraying process tends to have fine crystal grains because it is quenched during the film formation process, and there may be amorphous regions before exposure to heat, and it is relatively easy to capture the process of crystallization due to exposure to heat with an X-ray diffraction image. The composition formula of the material of the ceramic spray coating is expressed as RE2Si2O7 or RE2SiO5. Here, RE is one or a mixture of two or more of the rare earth elements of Lu, Yb, Tm, Er, Ho, Dy, Gd, Tb, Eu, Sm, Pm, Nd, Pr, Ce, La, Y, and Sc. It has been confirmed that thermal spray coatings made of materials with the composition formula RE2Si2O7 and RE2SiO5 are amorphous after thermal spraying, but crystallize when subsequently subjected to temperature history, and therefore have the characteristic of being prone to changes in the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction pattern.
[0014] However, the target surface to which the temperature history analysis system 1 according to the present disclosure is applied is not limited to the above. For example, the sprayed coating is not limited to the ceramic sprayed coating, and may be a metal sprayed coating. Examples of the metal sprayed coating include coatings made of heat-resistant metal materials such as nickel-based, cobalt-based, and iron-based materials that impart heat resistance to the substrate. In addition, the ceramic sprayed coating is not limited to the above, and examples of the ceramic sprayed coating include coatings made of ceramic materials such as alumina, titanium oxide, chromium oxide, zirconia, and yttria that impart heat resistance to the substrate and at the same time provide a heat shielding effect. Furthermore, the target surface is not limited to the coating, and may be the surface of a ceramic or metal base material.
[0015] [Configuration of temperature history analysis system 1] The temperature history analysis system 1 includes an X-ray diffraction device 10, an analysis device 20, and a learning device 51. The analysis device 20 and the learning device 51 may be configured on a single piece of hardware.
[0016] X-ray Diffraction Equipment 10 The X-ray diffraction apparatus 10 may be a known X-ray diffraction apparatus capable of generating a two-dimensional diffraction image. A typical X-ray diffraction apparatus includes a sample stage for holding a sample, an X-ray irradiator for generating X-rays and irradiating a measurement range of the sample with the X-rays, and a two-dimensional X-ray detector for measuring the intensity of the diffracted X-rays emitted from the sample.
[0017] The X-ray diffraction apparatus 10 performs X-ray diffraction measurements to obtain two-dimensional diffraction images that reflect the crystal structure of the sample in the measurement area. The two-dimensional diffraction image of a single crystal region shows a geometric image consisting of spot-like bright spots. The two-dimensional diffraction image of a polycrystalline region shows a clear ring-shaped diffraction image, i.e., multiple concentric rings called Debye-Scherrer rings. The two-dimensional diffraction image of an amorphous region shows a broad halo called a halo ring.
[0018] 《Analysis device 20》 The analysis device 20 analyzes the temperature history of the target surface using a two-dimensional diffraction image of the target surface acquired from the X-ray diffraction device 10. The analysis device 20 can be realized by a computer 40 including, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41, a memory 42, an auxiliary storage device 43 such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a communication I / F 44 for connecting to a communication network by wire or wirelessly, an input device 45 such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch sensor, or a touch panel, an output device 46 such as a liquid crystal display, and a media I / F 47 for reading and writing information from and to a portable storage medium, as shown in Fig. 2. Note that Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the computer 40.
[0019] Each function of the analysis device 20 can be realized by loading a predetermined program stored in the auxiliary storage device 43 into the memory 42 and executing it with the CPU 41. Communication between the analysis device 20 and the X-ray diffraction device 10 and the learning device 51 can be realized, for example, by the CPU 41 using the communication I / F 44. Note that the above-mentioned predetermined program may be downloaded from a network via the communication I / F 44, or may be loaded from a storage medium connected to the media I / F 47.
[0020] Learning Device 51 The learning device 51 generates a temperature evaluation model 50 that the analysis device 20 uses for analysis. The learning device 51 can further train the generated temperature evaluation model 50. Like the analysis device 20, the learning device 51 can be realized by a computer 40 as shown in FIG. 2. Each function of the learning device 51 can be realized by loading a predetermined program stored in the auxiliary storage device 43 into the memory 42 and executing it by the CPU 41.
[0021] 3, the temperature evaluation model 50 generated by the learning device 51 is a machine-learned model configured to output a temperature history when a two-dimensional diffraction image is input. The learning device 51 acquires a two-dimensional diffraction image of a reference sample from the X-ray diffraction device 10, and generates the temperature evaluation model 50 by machine learning the relationship between the two-dimensional diffraction image of the reference sample and the temperature of the heat treatment of the reference sample.
[0022] [Example] Here, a temperature history analysis method using the temperature history analysis system 1 will be described in detail along with an embodiment. The evaluation sample according to this embodiment is a replica of a high-temperature component, and is a ceramic substrate on which a Yb2Si2O7 (ytterbium silicate) sprayed coating is formed. The target surface is the sprayed coating of the evaluation sample. Prior to analysis of the temperature history of the target surface, a temperature evaluation model 50 to be used in the analysis is created.
[0023] 《Creating Temperature Evaluation Model 50》 4 is a flow chart showing the creation of the temperature evaluation model 50. As shown in FIG. 4, the process of creating the temperature evaluation model 50 includes the following steps 1. to 3.
[0024] 1. Preparation of reference sample (Step S1) The target surfaces of the reference sample and the evaluation sample are made of the same material. First, a Yb2Si2O7 sprayed coating is formed on the surface of the ceramic substrate by spraying Yb2Si2O7 powder onto the ceramic substrate, and then the ceramic substrate is removed to produce a Yb2Si2O7 freestanding film. The Yb2Si2O7 freestanding film is subjected to heat treatment by being held in an air atmosphere at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. This heat treatment temperature is the temperature of the heat to which the reference sample is exposed. In this embodiment, the heat treatment time is 5 minutes. In this embodiment, the heat treatment temperatures are 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, and 1700°C. However, the heat treatment temperature is not limited to this embodiment and is set based on the material of the target surface and the expected temperature history. The heat-treated Yb2Si2O7 freestanding film becomes the reference sample.
[0025] 2. Two-dimensional X-ray diffraction measurement of the reference sample (Step S2) The X-ray diffraction apparatus 10 performs two-dimensional X-ray diffraction measurement of the reference sample to generate a two-dimensional diffraction image of the reference sample. In this embodiment, an X-ray irradiator that irradiates the measurement range with X-rays of energy 10 keV is used, and the X-ray incidence angle θ on the target surface is set to 12.5 degrees. In this embodiment, a two-dimensional semiconductor detector (PILATUS 100K manufactured by DECTRIS) equipped with a light receiving element with a module size of 83.8 mm × 33.5 mm is used as the X-ray detector, the diffraction angle 2θ is set to 25 degrees, and the distance between the X-ray detector and the diffraction center of the target surface is set to 200 mm. However, the settings of the X-ray diffraction apparatus 10 are adjusted according to the material and shape of the target surface so that a two-dimensional diffraction image suitable for analysis is obtained.
[0026] For each reference sample, multiple measurements are performed at different measurement positions to obtain multiple 2D diffraction images for each reference sample. In this way, 2D diffraction images of the reference samples heat-treated at seven different temperatures, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, and 1700°C, are obtained.
[0027] FIG. 5 is an example of an X-ray two-dimensional diffraction image of a reference sample. The examples of two-dimensional diffraction images shown in FIG. 5 are two-dimensional diffraction images of reference samples heat-treated at temperatures of 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, and 1700°C. When a thermal spray coating is exposed to heat, phase transformation and grain growth occur according to the heat temperature, which are reflected in the two-dimensional diffraction image. That is, the difference in the heat temperature to which the reference sample is exposed appears as a difference in the two-dimensional diffraction image of the reference sample. The difference in the two-dimensional diffraction image due to the exposure temperature can be seen in features such as the position where the Debye-Scherrer ring appears, the continuous / discontinuous state of the curve forming the ring, and the width of the curve forming the ring. Based on these features, the similarity of the two-dimensional diffraction images can be evaluated.
[0028] 3. Generation or training of the temperature evaluation model 50 (step S3) The learning device 51 acquires raw data, which are the two-dimensional diffraction image of the reference sample, which is input data (i.e., explanatory variables), and the known temperature history of the reference sample (i.e., the heat treatment temperature, which is also the maximum temperature in the temperature history), which is output data (i.e., objective variables), and preprocesses the raw data to create learning data. The preprocessing includes at least one of various processes such as converting the data format, checking for anomalies, extracting data, and changing variable names or file names. The learning data includes a large number of input data and output data datasets with different temperature histories.
[0029] The learning device 51 uses the learning data to train the AI program and generate a trained model incorporating trained parameters. The trained model is defined as a "function expressed as a combination of an AI program and parameters (weights)." The learning device 51 according to this embodiment executes supervised learning. In general, supervised learning is a method of learning a correlation model for estimating required output data for new input data by using a combination of known input data and corresponding output data (i.e., correct answer data) as learning data and identifying features that imply a correlation between the input data and the output data from a large amount of learning data, and by learning a large amount of learning data, the correlation between the input data and the output data can gradually approach an optimal solution. For example, the learning device 51 applies the learning data to a neural network, which is a type of AI program, to learn and store parameters that are the relationship between the input data and the output data, that is, the strength of the connection between each neuron. The parameters include the weights of the synapses of the neural network. In this way, a trained model consisting of a combination of the structure of the neural network and the parameters, that is, the temperature evaluation model 50, is generated.
[0030] Although the learning device 51 according to the present embodiment employs a neural network as a machine learning algorithm and uses an AI program based on a neural network, the machine learning algorithm is not limited to this. For example, the machine learning algorithm may be any one of multiple regression analysis, decision tree, random forest regression, gradient boosting, kernel regression, and support vector regression.
[0031] <Temperature history analysis of evaluation samples> The analysis device 20 generates a temperature history distribution of the evaluation sample using the temperature evaluation model 50 generated as described above. Fig. 6 is a flow chart of the temperature history analysis.
[0032] The evaluation sample was prepared by forming a Yb2Si2O7 sprayed coating on a ceramic substrate measuring 15 mm x 15 mm x 3 mm by thermal spraying, and then heating the coating by applying a burner flame to the center of the coating. The sprayed coating of the evaluation sample was the target surface for the temperature history analysis. As shown in Figure 6, the process of temperature history analysis of the target surface includes the following steps i. to iii.
[0033] i. X-ray two-dimensional diffraction measurement of the target surface (step S11) An X-ray diffraction measurement of the evaluation sample is performed by the X-ray diffraction device 10, and a two-dimensional diffraction image of the evaluation sample is generated. The settings of the X-ray diffraction device 10 are the same as those of the X-ray two-dimensional diffraction measurement of the reference sample. 13 points x 13 points = 169 evaluation points are set on the surface of the evaluation sample at a pitch of 1 mm vertically and horizontally, X-ray diffraction measurement is performed for each evaluation point, and a two-dimensional diffraction image of each evaluation point is generated.
[0034] ii. Calculating the historical temperature of the target surface (step S12) The analysis device 20 acquires analysis data for each evaluation point of the evaluation sample. The analysis data includes the coordinates of the evaluation point and a two-dimensional diffraction image of the evaluation point. Information on the two-dimensional diffraction image is associated with the coordinates of the evaluation point. The analysis device 20 inputs the two-dimensional diffraction image for each evaluation point into a temperature evaluation model 50 generated by a learning device 51 to obtain an output of a temperature history. The temperature evaluation model 50 is, for example, a regression model that uses the two-dimensional diffraction image as an explanatory variable and estimates a temperature history as a continuous value. In this way, the analysis device 20 uses the temperature evaluation model 50 to calculate an estimated temperature history for each evaluation point.
[0035] iii. Evaluation of the temperature history of the evaluation sample (step S13) The analysis device 20 combines the coordinates of the evaluation points with the calculated temperature history to generate a temperature history distribution image as a temperature history evaluation result. FIG. 7 shows an example of a temperature history distribution image of the evaluation sample. The temperature history distribution image shown in FIG. 7 is a map having coordinate axes corresponding to the surface of the evaluation sample, in which the temperature history of the evaluation point (i.e., the maximum temperature of heat received by the evaluation point) is mapped to the coordinates of the evaluation point with a different color for each temperature. According to the temperature history distribution image of the evaluation sample, the temperature is highest at the center where the burner flame hits, and the temperature decreases with distance from the center. Thus, it can be seen that according to this embodiment, the temperature history of the evaluation sample can be evaluated with an accuracy of ±50°C.
[0036] In the above embodiment, the temperature history distribution of one clustered region of the evaluation sample was evaluated, but in the temperature history analysis system 1, an evaluation point can be set at any point on the target surface within a range where X-ray diffraction measurement is possible with the X-ray diffraction device 10, and the temperature history of the evaluation point can be obtained. For example, a large number of evaluation points may be set continuously over the entire target surface, a plurality of evaluation points may be set in a dispersed manner on the target surface, or a single evaluation point may be set at any point on the target surface.
[0037] [Summary] The temperature history analysis system 1 according to the first aspect of the present disclosure includes: The apparatus includes an analysis device 20 configured to acquire analytical data including a two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image of an evaluation point on a target surface exposed to heat, and estimate the temperature history of the evaluation point from the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image of the evaluation point based on the relationship between the temperature history obtained from the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image of a reference sample made of the same material as the target surface and having a known temperature history, and the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image.
[0038] Depending on the temperature of the heat to which the target surface is exposed, a phase transformation occurs in the material of the target surface, and the growth of crystal grains differs. Therefore, the difference in the temperature of the heat to which the multiple samples are exposed appears as a difference in the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction images of the multiple samples. Conversely, if the temperatures of the heat to which the multiple samples are exposed are the same or close, a common feature appears in the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction images of the multiple samples. By utilizing this, the above-mentioned temperature history analysis system 1 clarifies the causal relationship between the temperature history and the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image from the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image of a reference sample having a known temperature history, and estimates the temperature history of the evaluation point from the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image of the evaluation point based on the relationship between the temperature history and the two-dimensional X-ray diffraction image. Here, the temperature history is the maximum temperature of the heat received by the evaluation point. In the above-mentioned temperature history analysis system 1, when analyzing the temperature history of a high-temperature component, the position and number of the evaluation points are not limited as long as the surface of the high-temperature component can be measured by X-ray diffraction, and the temperature history of any point on the surface of the high-temperature component can be evaluated. The temperature history of the surface of the high-temperature component can be used to estimate the temperature of the environment in which the high-temperature component is used and to diagnose the soundness of the high-temperature component.

[0045] According to the temperature history analysis system 1 described above, the temperature history of the target surface can be easily understood by using the temperature history distribution image.

[0049] Since thermal spray coatings tend to have fine crystal grains because they are rapidly cooled during the coating process, and amorphous regions may exist before exposure to heat, it is relatively easy to capture the process of crystallization caused by exposure to heat using X-ray diffraction. Therefore, the above-mentioned temperature history analysis system 1 can analyze the temperature history of the target surface with relatively high accuracy.
