Method for rapidly judging original defects of galvanized steel component
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of failure analysis of galvanized steel members of power grid transmission lines, in particular to a method for quickly judging original defects of the galvanized steel members.
Background
Along with the development of social economy in China, the electric power demand is expanded, the safety problem of a power transmission network is increasingly prominent, and the safety and reliability of the power transmission network structure such as a power transmission line tower serving as a main structure of the power network are particularly important for guaranteeing the safe transmission of electric power. At present, the base material of the national power transmission tower mainly adopts a carbon steel base material, the surface of the base material is protected by galvanizing, the method is an economic and effective protection means, and the outdoor service life of the related steel structure can be greatly prolonged. Although the galvanizing technology can obviously prolong the outdoor service life of the steel member, original defects on the surface and the near surface of the steel member are covered, so that potential safety hazards after the steel member is put into operation are formed, and the failure reason is difficult to judge.
The atomic number contrast is a contrast formed by a difference in atomic number (chemical composition) of a substance on the surface of a sample. The physical signal sensitive to the change of the atomic number on the surface of the sample is used as a modulation signal of the kinescope, so that an atomic number contrast image can be obtained. The contrast of the backscattered electron image and the absorbed electron image both contain atomic number contrast, and the contrast of the characteristic X-ray image (electron probe) is the atomic number contrast. The backscattered electrons are higher in energy and leave the sample surface along a straight track to the sample surface facing away from the detector, and the backscattered electrons cannot be collected by the detector and become a shadow, so that the image shows strong contrast. In the range of atomic numbers less than 40, the yield of backscattered electrons is very sensitive to atomic number. When the analysis is carried out, the image on the fluorescent screen is brighter due to more collected backscattered electrons in the area with higher atomic number on the sample, so that the relative height of the atomic number in the corresponding area can be judged according to the brightness contrast of the backscattered electron image, and meanwhile, the analysis of different types of precipitated phases on the grain boundary or in the grain is very effective by utilizing the atomic number contrast.
The atomic number of Zn is 30, the atomic number of Fe is 26, theoretically, the area with high Zn element content should be brighter, and the Fe group is darker, which is very beneficial for judging whether the galvanized steel member has original defects before the galvanizing process to cause the zinc liquid to permeate into the fracture and making whether the galvanized steel member has the original defects.

Detailed Description
A method for rapidly judging original defects of galvanized steel components comprises the following steps: intercepting a fracture longitudinal section for carrying out back-scattered electron scanning aiming at a galvanized steel member of electric transmission and transformation equipment which is cracked or fails in fracture, and observing whether a bright-dark area exists on the surface of an image from the edge or not; and calibrating elements Zn and Fe by line scanning, thus judging whether the fracture has molten zinc infiltration phenomenon, and proving that the steel member has original defects before galvanization, so that the molten zinc penetrates into the steel member from the original defects during galvanization.
The specific process is as follows:
the fracture longitudinal section is intercepted aiming at a galvanized steel component of electric transmission and transformation equipment with cracking or fracture failure.
And ultrasonically cleaning and drying the intercepted fracture longitudinal section sample.
Fixing the sample to a scanning electron microscope sample table by using conductive adhesive, and placing the sample table to an electron microscope sample bin.
And fourthly, after the vacuum state of the scanning electron microscope is prepared, adjusting the imaging mode of the scanning electron microscope to be a back scattering imaging mode, and then observing the micro morphology of the surface of the sample in a back scattering electron imaging mode. There are distinct bright areas extending inward at the crack origin, while the remaining areas appear darker. The atomic number of Zn is 30 and the atomic number of Fe is 26, theoretically, the region with high Zn element content should be brighter, the Fe aggregate as a whole is darker, which is also demonstrated by the lighter region of the crack origin in fig. 1.
Fifthly, adjusting the imaging mode of the scanning electron microscope to be the secondary electron imaging mode, opening a transmission channel between the scanning electron microscope and the energy spectrometer, then opening a line scanning mode of the energy spectrometer, and starting energy spectrum line scanning detection of the scanning electron microscope at different positions, as shown in fig. 2. From FIG. 2, it can be found that there is uneven Zn element at the fracture surface, but the Zn element content at the crack initiation fracture part is obviously higher than that at the other fracture surface detection parts, and the Zn element content at the crack termination zone is obviously reduced.
[ working principle ]
Backscattered electrons are generated by elastic scattering. When electrons in the main electron beam approach the nuclei in the sample, their trajectories are deviated by the force of the positive charges in the nuclei. The yield of backscattered electrons depends on the size of the nuclei. Therefore, the backscattered electrons mainly reflect the composition characteristics of the sample surface, i.e. the parts of the sample with large average atomic number Z generate strong backscattered electron signals, and form bright areas on the image; while the lower average atomic number region produces less backscattered electrons and forms a darker region in the image, thus forming the atomic number contrast (component contrast) of the sample surface.
According to the relation between the back-scattered electron coefficient (η) and the atomic number (Z): eta ═ 0.0254+0.016Z-0.000186Z2+8.3×10-7Z3(ii) a It is known that the back-scattered electron coefficient increases with an increase in atomic number. The backscattered electrons have high energy and escape from the sample surface in a straight trajectory, and for the sample surface facing away from the detector, they appear as a shadow due to the inability of the detector to collect the backscattered electrons, thus showing a strong contrast in the image, and the yield of backscattered electrons is very sensitive to atomic number in the range where the atomic number Z is less than 40. Therefore, qualitative composition analysis can be performed on various metals and alloys by using the contrast change caused by the atomic number. The areas of heavy elements in the sample are bright areas relative to the image, while the areas of light elements are dark areas. When the analysis with higher precision is carried out, the bright and dark areas are calibrated in advance, and a satisfactory result can be obtained. When the fracture of the galvanized steel member has an original defect, a longitudinal section of the fracture is cut out to perform back-scattered electron imaging scanning electron microscope analysis, so that a bright area which obviously extends inwards can be seen in the crack source part, and the rest parts are darker areas. The areas are calibrated by utilizing an energy spectrum of a scanning electron microscope, so that the higher Zn element content in the bright areas and the higher Fe element content in the darker areas can be verified, and the original defects of the steel member before galvanization can be proved, and the original defects of the molten zinc can be proved to exist when the molten zinc is galvanizedDeep into the steel member.
