摘要
英国散裂中子源(ISIS)在工程材料中子衍射领域有着十余年丰富的研究经验,最为典型的衍射谱仪之一的Engin-X在材料、加工等方向有着广泛应用,包括残余应力分布测量、金属相变分析、微观力学研究等.Engin-X通过设置红外加热型高温炉配套材料试验机的样品环境以实现中子衍射原位高温力学实验,目前原位实验中高温炉最高设计温度可达1100℃.通过优化高温炉反射罩形状、布局、反射涂层,以及合理设置反射挡板等措施(例如采用一种椭圆-圆组合形状的反射罩),可实现更优的光线聚焦效果.模拟计算得知样品的能量吸收可提高109%以上,最终高温可达1400℃.相关研究有望拓展Engin-X中子衍射技术在材料研究领域的应用,同时也为中国散裂中子源(CSNS)工程材料衍射谱仪样品环境设计提供借鉴经验.
The ISIS Neutron Facility of Rutherford Appleton Laboratory(RAL) in the UK plays an important and world leading role in in-situ engineering materials testing, one of the most typical neutron diffractometers known as Engin-X, used to measure residual stress and phase transformation and to do micromechanics research, through using different sample environment equipment, such as mechanical fatigue loading frame,cryogenic temperature furnace of cooling the sample down to 1.5 K and particularly high temperature furnace of heating the sample up to 1100 ℃ under loading condition. The present maximum heating capability of the Engin-X high temperature furnace at ISIS can be increased to above 1100 ℃, that would allow more extremely challenging high temperature engineering problems around the world to be investigated. With this ambition in mind, in this paper we use Trace Pro software initially to optimize the geometry of the present Engin-X furnace reflectors and their configurations' arrangement. One is to use ellipse-sphere combination and the other is to use ellipse-sphere-ellipse combination to replace the present Engin-X high temperature furnace's half ellipse reflector geometry. The results show that the former plus further reflector surface coating and reasonable side shielding arrangement result in a total increase of 109% of energy absorption by the sample. The latter makes a further 6% of increase of energy absorption by the sample. Such results are further checked by subsequent ANSYS thermal analysis to investigate the temperature distributions within the centre portion of the sample. The ANSYS simulation results further reveal that both the ellipse-sphere and ellipse-sphere-ellipse configurations are able to increase the maximum capability of the Engin-X high temperature furnace at ISIS from the present 1100 ℃ to 1399 ℃ and 1423 ℃, respectively. In this paper, we present the details of the simulations and all the configurations of the Engin-X high temperature furnace.
