Abstract

In view of the influence of temperature on the fretting wear performance of nuclear TP316H steel in liquid Lead-Bismuth eutectic alloy(LBE), the fretting wear behavior of TP316H steel at different temperatures was studied by using an independent high temperature liquid LBE fretting wear test device. The influence of different temperature on fretting wear performance was studied, and the evolution rule of fretting wear under different cycles was analyzed. The results show that at 200℃ and 300℃, fretting wear behavior regime of TP316H steel is mixed fretting regime, and at 400℃, fretting wear behavior regime is total sliding regime. The increase of temperature will accelerate the softening of the material surface and wear debris, and at the same time aggravate the oxidation wear, resulting in the rapid formation of the third body layer and reduce the wear rate. However, high temperature is more likely to cause dissolution corrosion of Ni element. By studying the wear evolution rule at 400℃, it is found that the wear mechanism at the initial fretting stage is characterized by peeling wear and adhesive wear. The intermediate stage is characterized by oxidation wear and fatigue wear. In the later stage, it turns to oxidation wear, abrasive wear, and a small amount of adhesive wear.
