The studies of the dependence of acoustic characteristics on the microstructure of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steels in various structural states after long term operation are presented. The meaning of the acoustic limit state criterion, which represents a relative assessment of accumulated structural damage of the long run metal for the time delay of ultrasonic Rayleigh waves and determination of the limit state of the material, is revealed. It is established that at the acoustic criterion of the limit state of ≥0.7, the metal is in the state of avalanche creep and reaches the limit state. Measurements of acoustic characteristics gave a good agreement with the results of metallographic studies conducted on sections of metal cuttings. In addition, the criterion was tested when diagnosing technical devices made of steel 15X1M1F, 12X2MFSR, 17GS, 09G2S. |
