Material cathode protection testing device and method in slow stretching state
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material detection, and particularly relates to a device and a method for testing cathode protection of a material in a slow stretching state in a corrosion environment.
Background
When the marine high-strength steel is in service in the marine environment, the marine high-strength steel is corroded by seawater, so that a cathodic protection technology is applied to the marine high-strength steel to reduce the corrosion effect of the seawater on a steel structure. As the high-strength steel material generally has certain hydrogen brittleness sensitivity, the hydrogen brittleness sensitivity is enhanced along with the increase of the material strength. When the applied cathodic protection potential is negative, hydrogen is separated from the surface of the metal material, and hydrogen is diffused into the metal structure, so that hydrogen embrittlement and fracture of the material can be caused. Therefore, the selection of a reasonable and effective cathodic protection potential interval is a problem to be considered in the cathodic protection design of the high-strength steel.
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a phenomenon in which a metal material is cracked under the mutual interaction of a material subjected to an external stress when the material is in service in a corrosive medium environment. The extent of the decrease in mechanical properties of metallic materials under the synergistic effect of both stress and corrosive medium environment is often much greater than if the two single factors were added to each other after acting on the metallic material separately. In recent years, researchers at home and abroad have conducted extensive research on SCC of materials such as metals and alloys thereof, and the origin of microcracks, the cause of crack propagation and the long process of SCC of metal materials are basic problems in research of SCC, and further, the research is continued until the understanding of the action mechanism of SCC is gradually achieved.
Experimental studies on SCC of metal materials have been conducted to detect the susceptibility of metal materials to stress corrosion cracking in specific environments of use, and have been designed appropriately according to the characteristics of stress corrosion cracking and the purpose of the experiments, so as to take necessary measures to reduce the loss. However, the research methods for stress corrosion cracking are different due to different metal materials and different factors such as stress load and corrosive medium environment. The current experimental research methods include constant load tests, constant deformation tests, fracture mechanics tests, slow strain rate tensile tests, field tests, laboratory simulation tests, combined tests of various tests and other research methods.

The metal material, especially the material such as high-strength steel, has characteristics such as high strength and high toughness, and in the process of drawing, the fixture of sample also must adopt the metal material of high strength. The clamp of the sample is connected with the outside through the stretching rod, so that the sample and the whole device become equal potential bodies, in the cathodic protection test, the potential applied to the sample is conducted to the whole device and even the ground, the test deviation occurs, and the accurate value of the actual applied potential cannot be obtained.
