    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rapid and comprehensive method for evaluating pitting resistance of stainless steel pipe welds. Weld samples are collected from different positions of one or more welds on the stainless steel pipe to obtain the surface oxide inclusion density and critical pitting temperature of each weld sample, the surface oxidation inclusion density is taken as an independent variable and the critical pitting temperature is taken as a dependent variable to obtain a fitting function formula between the surface oxidation inclusion density and the critical pitting temperature. The surface oxide inclusion density obtained by adopting the same welding process on the stainless steel pipe to be tested is substituted into the fitting function formula to obtain a standard critical pitting temperature of the weld to be tested. The pitting resistance of the weld of the stainless steel pipe to be tested can be evaluated rapidly, accurately, and comprehensively.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for predicting a creep-fatigue life of a structural part of a thermal power unit. The method includes: constructing a life prediction model; acquiring a stress relaxation curve in a strain control creep-fatigue test through pure creep data to calculate an initial creep damage; acquiring a cyclic hardening coefficient, an elasticity modulus and other related material constants through the pure fatigue data to calculate an initial fatigue damage; and acquiring a difference between strain energy densities in upper and lower parts of creep-fatigue mean stress, making the difference between strain energy densities less than a set threshold through dichotomy iteration to acquire a final creep damage, a final fatigue damage and an oxidative damage under such a circumstance, and predicting the creep-fatigue life of the high-temperature structural part based on the life prediction model.

    Abstract: A detection device includes a frame body and a main pipe positioning assembly, a branch pipe positioning assembly, and a first driving assembly disposed on the frame body. One side of the frame body is provided with an opening. The branch pipe positioning assembly is disposed inside the opening. The first driving assembly adjusts the branch pipe positioning assembly, so that the branch pipe positioning assembly is adapted to positions of the two branch pipes. During detection, the branch pipes are located in the opening, the main pipe positioning assembly connects two ends of the main pipe, and the branch pipe positioning assembly connects the two branch pipes. Two limiting members are slidably disposed on the frame body to open and close the opening, and the limiting members abut against an outer wall of the main pipe, such that the main pipe is located inside or outside the opening.
