基于MSEB试样的CLF-1钢断裂行为研究

STUDY ON FRACTURE BEHAVIOR OF CLF-1 STEEL BASED ON MSEB SPECIMENS

  • 摘要: 为满足聚变堆关键结构材料CLF-1钢在中子辐照后有限取样条件下的断裂韧性测试需求, 设计了一种等比例缩小的微型单边弯曲(miniature single-edge bend, MSEB)试样, 并建立了相应的断裂韧性试验方法. 研究目标在于验证MSEB试样能否在保持裂尖高约束特征的前提下, 实现对标准单边弯曲试样(single-edge bend, SEB)断裂韧性的有效预测. 采用不同裂纹尺寸的MSEB试样及标准SEB试样, 在室温和300 °C条件下开展断裂试验, 获得了J-Δa曲线和条件启裂韧性JQ值. 结合弹塑性有限元分析, 对不同尺寸试样的裂尖局部应力状态进行了对比, 验证了MSEB试样与标准SEB试样在裂尖高约束状态下的一致性. 在此基础上, 引入基于特征应变能密度wc的裂尖约束量化方法, 系统分析了试样尺寸与温度对断裂韧性的影响规律, 并建立了wcJQ之间的定量线性关联关系, 实现了局部约束参数与宏观断裂韧性的统一表征. 进一步采用裂纹驱动力曲线与断裂失效曲线交点法, 对标准SEB试样的JQ值进行了预测, 并与试验结果进行了对比验证. 结果表明: 室温下, 不同裂纹尺寸MSEB试样与标准SEB试样的J-Δa曲线及JQ值高度一致, 尺寸效应较小; 300 °C下, MSEB试样的断裂韧性分散性明显增大, 且标准SEB试样的J-Δa曲线和JQ值显著高于MSEB试样. 两种温度下, wcJQ均呈现良好的线性关系. 预测得到的标准SEB试样JQ值与实测均值吻合较好, 相对误差分别为0.78%和10.85%. 研究表明, MSEB试样结合wc约束量化方法可实现CLF-1钢标准尺寸断裂韧性的有效预测, 为辐照后材料的小试样断裂韧性评估提供了可靠技术途径.

     

    Abstract: To meet the demand for fracture toughness evaluation of CLF-1 steel used in key structural components of fusion reactors under limited sampling conditions after neutron irradiation, a geometrically scaled miniature single-edge bend (MSEB) specimen was designed, and a corresponding fracture toughness testing procedure was established. The objective of this work is to determine whether the MSEB specimen can effectively predict the fracture toughness of standard single-edge bend (SEB) specimens while maintaining a high crack-tip constraint condition. Fracture tests were conducted on MSEB specimens with different crack sizes and on standard SEB specimens at room temperature and 300 °C. The J-resistance (J-Δa) curves and the conditional crack initiation toughness (JQ) were obtained. Combined with elastic–plastic finite element analyses, the local crack-tip stress states of specimens with different sizes were compared, and the consistency of crack-tip constraint between MSEB and standard SEB specimens was verified. Furthermore, a crack-tip constraint quantification method based on the characteristic strain energy density (wc) was introduced to systematically evaluate the effects of specimen size and temperature on fracture toughness. A quantitative linear relationship between wc and JQ was established, enabling a unified characterization of the local constraint parameter and the global fracture toughness. In addition, the JQ value of the standard SEB specimen was predicted by the intersection method of the crack-driving force curve and the fracture failure curve, and the prediction was validated against the experimental result. The results show that, at room temperature, the J-Δa curves and JQ values of MSEB specimens with different crack sizes are highly consistent with those of standard SEB specimens, indicating a weak size effect. At 300 °C, however, the scatter of fracture toughness for MSEB specimens increases significantly, and the J-Δa curves and JQ values of standard SEB specimens are markedly higher than those of MSEB specimens. A clear linear relationship between wc and JQ is observed at both temperatures. The predicted JQ values of standard SEB specimens agree well with the experimental averages, with relative errors of 0.78% and 10.85%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the MSEB specimen, combined with the wc-based constraint quantification method, can effectively predict the standard-size fracture toughness of CLF-1 steel and provides a reliable technical approach for the fracture toughness evaluation of irradiated materials using small specimens.
