1、ON-LINE DIAGNOSIS OF MARINE DIESEL CRANKSHAFT CRACK BASED ON MAGNETIC MEMORY* This research is supported by Nature Science Funding Project of Fujian Province A0410022.LI HAN-LIN, LIN JIN-BIAO, CAI ZHEN-XIONG, LU YONG(Marine Engineering Institute, Jimei University, Xiamen, Fujian 361021)Abstract: Thi

2、s paper summarized recent diagnosis methods of marine diesel crankshaft crack and introduced the fundamental principle, development and application of metal magnetic memory testing (MMMT) diagnosis technology. Compared with other methods, a scheme developed from MMMT combined with torsional signal t

3、o make on-line diagnosis of crankshaft crack was proposed, and the on-line diagnosis experimental platform of diesel was designed. Finally, comments were also made on the on-line MMMT method.Keywords: marine diesel; crankshaft; crack; metal magnetic memory1 IntroductionMost of the crankshaft cracks

4、on ocean marine diesel are deeply latent and difficult to detect artificially. In general, while the crack develops to a certain extent it will rupture and cause destructive breakage1. If inchoate stress concentration and tiny crack of crankshaft are detected on-line by Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

5、 methods, the diesel can be stopped before the full development of the crack and thus rupture can be avoided. A new NDT method, MMMT developed rapidly recent years with advantages in such areas as cheap and simple sensors, measuring without impacting diesel operation and long-term on-line detection.

6、 Therefore, there will be a great foreground to use MMMT in crankshaft crack detection.2 Dynamic Diagnosis of Crankshaft Crack2.1 Static Diagnosis of Crankshaft CrackCrankshaft crack is one of the fatal faults in diesels. There are some static NDT methods to diagnose crankshaft crack2 such as Ultras

7、onic Testing, Radiographic Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Penetrate Testing, Eddy Current Testing, Optical Holography, and Microwave Testing. These methods have taken an important part in crankshaft quality control and accident prevention. However, on the other hand there are several disadvanta

8、ges of these methods. Firstly, all of them must find cracks already formed and can not detect unexpected ones. Secondly, they are unable to make on-line detection and fault diagnosis. Thirdly, most of them need surface pretreatment of the facilities before inspection. Finally, the accuracy of detect

9、ion is affected by crankshaft configuration and personal skill.2.2 Dynamic Diagnosis of Crankshaft CrackAt present there are some methods to diagnose shaft cracks on-line: rotor engine vibration displacement method, train wheel shaft temperature testing, acoustic emission and tortional vibration sig

10、nal testing. However, vibration displacement method is unfit for diesel crankshaft crack diagnosis due to the strong vibration from reciprocating movement which makes it difficult to survey displacement and acceleration. Although there is local high temperature on the cracks, it is hard to inspect t

11、he change of the crankshaft temperature due to the high temperature of the lube oil in the diesels. Acoustic emission method is still in developing as great noise from diesel operation makes it difficult to measure high frequency acoustic wave emitted by crack. Therefore at present it is feasible to

12、 diagnose crankshaft crack on-line by using torsional vibration signal.2.3 Crankshaft Crack Diagnosis Using Torsional Vibration SignalLiterature 3 brought forward a method using torsional vibration signal detected real-time from diesel to diagnose crankshaft fault. It studied crack fault diagnosis t

13、hough measuring the characteristics of the torsional vibration of the shafting flywheel system, and presented that model frequency and damp were sensitive parameters of cracks. The torsional vibration measuring system of the diesel had several advantages such as: easy measuring, no direct contact, c

14、heap sensor and longevity. It was a long-term reliable alarm method for diesel shafting crack. Research group in Marine Engine Institute of Jimei University has done the research of internal-combustion engine score fault with intelligent torsional vibration diagnosis system4, and it was a successful

15、 case of on-line fault diagnosis based on torsional vibration signal.3 Metal Magnetic Memory Testing TechniqueIn the year 1997, Russian professor A. A. Dubov brought forward correlative theory of metal magnetic memory on the World Conference on NDT, developed MMM instruments and formed MMM NDT techn

16、ique5.3.1 Theory of Metal Magnetic Memory TestingFig. 1 TSC-1M Stress Concentration Magnetic Testing InstrumentUnder the condition of the existence of the outside magnetic field, usually the magnetic field of the earth, there will appear a phenomenon in the stress concentration zone of ferromagnetic

17、 components with load that permeability of material besides the zone reduces and surface leak magnetic field increases, which is called magnetostriction. It will makes the surface magnetic field of the ferromagnetic accessory increase, and the magnetic field can remember the location of disfiguremen

18、t and stress concentration zone, thus it is named metal magnetic memory.Fig. 2 MM-System Data Procession SoftwareAt present, one of the most popular explanation to the magnetic memory is that, loaded by alternating stresses, unsymmetrical elasto-plastic strain will take place in the magnetic domain

19、formed by spontaneous magnetization in ferromagnetic material, and then unequal magnetic flux density will be induced by tensile and compressive stress6. Within the magnetic field of the earth, disfigurement and stress concentration zone of ferromagnetic components will produce maximum leak magnetic

20、 field, and there will be maximum tangential component HpX of the magnetic field intensity and zero normal component HpY.3.2 Metal Magnetic Memory Testing Instruments and Their Practical UseFig. 3 EMS-2000 MMM Diagnosis InstrumentResearch on magnetic memory testing instruments in foreign is in pace

21、with the technological development. Foremost of all were TSC-1M (see Fig. 1), TSCM-2FM and TSC-IM-4 stress concentration magnetic testing instrument developed by Energodiagnostika Ltd. of Russia. These instruments were associated with different types of sensor for various requirements. Software of t

22、hese instruments for signal analysis and data processing was also developed in Russia. For example, MM-System data processing software produced by Energodiagnostika Ltd. was able to analyze MMM signal and display the signal in three models: 2-D, 3-D and polar coordinates model (see Fig. 2).Internal

23、MMM testing instruments were mainly developed by Eddysun (Xiamen) Electronic CO., LTD. In the year 2000, Fig. 4 M3DPS Software 3-D Display EMS-2000 metal magnetic memory diagnosis instrument (see Fig. 3) with different types of sensor was produced by the company for ferromagnetic components disfigur

24、ement diagnosis. At the same time, M3DPS (see Fig. 4) software for signal analysis and data processing was developed to locate early fatigue damage7.Applications of MMM testing in China has developed rapidly focusing on crack testing of steel welding line, pressure vessel, aeronautical structure, th

25、ermal power plant and so on. Firstly, in the field of steel material weld testing, it was mainly used for dissimilar steel welding, hull structure steel plate welding8, early diagnosis of welding disfigurement, welding line quality examination, power plant EH oil pipe fillet welding joint, high pres

26、sure boiler pipe seat fillet welding joint and so on. Secondly, it was applied in pressure vessel testing for high pressure bottle, vessel welding residual stress measurement and so on. Thirdly, it was applied in aeronautical structure testing for earlier disfigurement and plane undercarriage inspec

27、tion. Fourthly, it was applied in thermal power plant testing for steam turbines component, blades crack, throttle valve and reheat tube crack diagnosis.4 On-line Diagnosis of Crankshaft Crack Using Metal Magnetic Memory Testing4.1 Crankshaft Crack Metal Magnetic Memory TestingDiesel BodySensorInstr

28、umentFig. 5 Diesel Crankshaft Testing DesignMarine diesel engine crankshafts are mainly made up from ferromagnetic material. According to MMM theory, stress concentration zone on crankshaft will produce maximum tangential component HpX of the magnetic field intensity and zero normal component HpY wi

29、th alternation of symbol. With scanning inspection of the surface magnetic field of crankshaft by MMM testing sensor and instrument, the stress concentration zone will be found out according to the zero normal component of the field intensity, and then the existence of crack on the crankshaft can be

30、 estimated indirectly. With this method, the location of cracks can be found out without interrupting normal operation of the diesel, and give an alarm in time to remind engineers of operation condition of the diesel.In the design, the sensor of the instrument will be placed into the body of the die

31、sel through the guide door of the diesel, and it can directly scan zones with the most probable existence of stress concentration, such as locations near oil bore and fillet. In case the normal component of magnetic field intensity of the location shows a change from positive to negative or from neg

32、ative to positive, it means that there may be tiny crack or stress concentration taking place, and at the same time, the instrument will record in a log and give an alarm. The method is simple, effective and feasible to on-line testing on operating diesel on ships.4.2 Design for Crankshaft Crack Tes

33、ting Simulation ExperimentIn order to put MMM crankshaft crack testing method into practical application to ships, simulation experiment should be done, and the model experiment platform is built from a two cylinders diesel. The platform takes shaft accessory as the research object, and uses standar

34、d ball bearings to support shaft. By means of replacing shaft and bearings, the platform is able to do simulate experiment for shafts in different sharp or length such as roll shaft and crankshaft. The shaft is connected to electromotor by adapting flange, and the motor controlled by transducer can

35、drive the shaft with different rotate speed to simulate running of uniform velocity and accelerated velocity. The bearings are fixed on steel foundation by two bearing seats, and the shell on the steel foundation is made up from organic glass to make the observation and the installation of the MMM s

36、ensor easy. There is lube oil deposited in the steel foundation and heated up by electro thermal coil. Heated lube oil is pumped to the top of the shell by a small gear oil pump and injected to shaft and bearings to lubricate them and simulate high temperature in diesel. Then the oil flows into oil

37、sump forming a cycle. The MMM sensor is installed in the sides of the platform body through a probe hole, and its installation angle, depth and horizontal location can be adjusted to scan the magnetic field intension of the whole shaft to find the stress concentration zone.At the same time, stress d

38、istribution of diesel crankshaft with crack will be analysized by finite element method software ANSYS and the magnetic field intension model varied with time and temperature will also be constructed for calculation. All of these simulations are fundamental to MMM crack testing of crankshaft9.5 Conc

39、lusionMMM crankshaft crack testing method is a new technique used for on-line inspection, and there are some issues to deal with in further study. The first one is quantificational relation between leak magnetic field intension near crack and stress, surrounding magnetic field, and the depth and wid

40、th of crack10. Secondly, there are several factors having certain impacts to the MMM signal such as temperature, residual magnetic field and surface roughness, therefore, data processing should be done to eliminate these impacts.At present, marine diesel crankshaft crack testing is still being done

41、by means of static method in China. MMM testing may solve the problem of early stress concentration inspection. This method has the advantages as cheap and simple sensors, measuring without affecting diesel operation and long-term on-line detection. It may forecast stress concentration zone and avoi

42、d hidden trouble of crankshaft rupture accident. Combined with torsional signal, MMM testing on-line diagnosis of crack will be achieved.References1.
