The invention relates to a
mechanical property simulation method for researching the service life of an aluminum
alloy material for a reactor. The
simulation method for the life period
mechanical property of the aluminum
alloy material comprises the following steps: S1, preparing initial, middle and last stage aluminum
alloy samples according to a < 27 > Al-< 28 > Si transmutation path of the aluminum alloy material; s2, representing the sample by using a transmission
electron microscope, obtaining precipitated particle parameters, calculating a
volume fraction f, fitting f and
operation time t, and constructing a
precipitation evolution model f (t); s3, performing high-energy
ion irradiation on the sample, and performing
nanoindentation experiment and load-depth
curve fitting to obtain nano
hardness H; s4, based on the f (t), establishing a relation model of the nano
hardness H and the
irradiation damage D; and S5, calculating the change quantity of the nano
hardness H, converting the change quantity into the change quantity of the yield strength, associating the
irradiation damage D with the
service time T, and establishing a life period yield strength prediction model. According to the method, the
mechanical property of the aluminum alloy in the
full service cycle of the
research reactor can be accurately evaluated.
