Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of weld quality detection, in particular to a method for detecting weld quality of a high-chromium alloy steel pipeline.
Background
The P91/P36 high-chromium alloy steel thick-wall pipeline is a main component of a nuclear energy demonstration fast reactor main steam system of the fourth generation of 'Charpy nuclear power', and an operation medium is high-temperature high-pressure steam, so that the high-temperature high-pressure high-chromium alloy steel thick-wall pipeline plays an important role in a fast reactor nuclear power unit. The welding process parameters (heat treatment parameters and heat treatment times) of the welding line are strict, and the defects of cracks, unfused and tiny inclusions (slag) and the like are easy to occur during welding. Because the main steam pipeline and the main water supply pipeline are made of high-chromium steel and have large wall thickness, the design file has definite limit on the heat treatment times of the welding seams, and therefore the central transillumination cannot be realized without designing a radial inspection plug for central exposure of the welding seams of the pipelines; when the Ir192 radiation source double-wall single-image transillumination is adopted, the exposure time is too long due to the fact that the penetration is impossible or the penetration thickness is too large, the haze of the negative film is increased, and the detection rate of the tiny defects is reduced sharply; if the Co60 radioactive source is adopted for inspection, the problems of difficult radiation protection, long construction period, high time pressure and the like exist.
The ultrasonic welding seam detection technology has been primarily applied in the welding seam detection field at present due to the characteristics of convenient operation, high detection speed, high sensitivity and good reliability; the existing ultrasonic detection technology is difficult to carry out nondestructive detection on the welding line of the thick-wall pipeline of the P91/P36 high-chromium alloy steel, and the detection standard is difficult to be achieved. Therefore, how to perform nondestructive testing on the weld quality of the thick-wall pipeline of the P91/P36 high-chromium alloy steel is a technical problem which needs to be solved by the technicians in the field.

In the method provided by the application, when the defect display amplitude is greater than or equal to phi 2-30dB, the defect is required to be qualified; when the defect display amplitude is greater than or equal to phi 2-18dB and less than phi 2-4dB, the defect is measured for the indicated length. According to the method, the defects are qualitatively determined by adding manual zigzag scanning and observing the positions of the defects, displaying images and the dynamic echo signal characteristics of the defects; the echo signal characteristics of the defect are as follows:
1) Characteristics of crack echo signals
Referring to fig. 11, the crack echo signal is typically relatively directional, and may be found on both sides of the weld when detected, with the other side having a lower defect-free echo signal or echo signal. Crack echo roots often have an extra small peak. Sometimes, the rough texture surface of the crack will have scattered echo signals. Moving a scanning cursor along the length direction of the defect, wherein the wave crest of the crack echo signal often fluctuates in a sawtooth shape;
2) Characteristics of unfused echo signals
Referring to fig. 12, the appearance that the groove is not fused in the S-type display has better coincidence with the weld groove, and the visible defect echo signals in the D-type display are characterized by a straight line on one side, and the amplitude difference of the peer echo signals on two sides of the weld is larger.

The position of the defect echo signal is seen in the D-type display to be lower than the echo signal of the weld seam residue height. Moving along the length direction of the defect, wherein the echo signal amplitude of the defect is smooth, the echo signal is stable after the straight line rises, then the echo signal descends, and the root of the waveform has no redundant small peak;
4) Strip defect determination
Referring to fig. 14, the display screen shows a single sharp echo waveform whose amplitude smoothly rises from zero to a maximum value as the probe moves back and forth and side to side, and fluctuates slightly at a high level by a small distance, and then smoothly falls back to zero. When the amplitude of the scanning defect with different angles has obvious change, the defect can be considered to be a strip defect;
5) Dense defect determination
Referring to fig. 15, the phased array oblique probe 1 is used to scan the weld 2 and perform image analysis on the detected data, and when the image is displayed as a dense and large number of defects on a fan-scan image or any other two-dimensional image display (B/C/D type display), the image should be defined as a dense defect; the evaluation area of the bulk dense defect is a 10X 20mm area in the top view, and if similar defect reflection is found, the detection area is subjected to a recheck by using a ray detection technology;

Referring to fig. 16, the air holes and slag inclusions are generated at any position of the weld joint, the ultrasonic signals of the air holes and slag inclusions are difficult to distinguish, and the defect safety evaluation does not distinguish the types of the two defects. The echo signals of a single wave crest and a single wave form without redundant wave crests are generally taken as air holes, the air holes move along the length direction of the defects, the echo signals of the air holes are generally gradually displayed and disappeared in background signals, the heights of the defects of the air holes and slag inclusion type are generally not higher than the heights of a single pass weld bead, the two sides of the weld bead can be provided with defective echoes generally, and the amplitude of the defect echo signals is not high generally.
