Abstract
In order to study acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of pitting corrosion on zirconium metal, Pitting corrosion process of zirconium metal in 10% ferric chloride solution at 70 °C was monitored by AE technology. Two different types of sensors were used to record the AE signals, and conventional parameter-based approach and signal-based analysis were combined to deal with AE signals. The results showed that AE technology could better distinguish between the different stages of the zirconium metal pitting process. Compared with the signals of the nucleation stage, the signals of pitting propagation stage had greater activity, lower amplitude, higher count, rise time, duration time and energy. It contained two different types of signal waveforms corresponding to two phases pitting damage. Waveform mode was mainly composed of flexural wave and expansion wave, and the low frequency flexural wave was dominant in pitting propagation stage. Passivation film rupture and hydrogen bubbles breakdown were mainly AE sources of zirconium metal pitting. The research results had some certain reference value for AE monitoring of pitting corrosion on zirconium metal equipment.
