ITER超导磁体支撑腿螺栓的强度分析与研究

Strength Analysis and Study of ITER Superconducting Magnetic Structure Legs Bolts

  • 摘要: 超导磁体是托卡马克装置的核心组件,为确保其在极端低温和复杂放电环境中的稳定运行,通常需要采用磁体低温测试平台(MCTB)进行模拟测试。在MCTB中,磁体支撑腿作为固定磁体的关键部件,其结构安全性至关重要,尤其作为容易发生低温脆断失效而引发事故的螺栓连接部分,需经过严格且全面的强度校验,以保证其在4 K的服役环境下仍具备足够的强度和稳定性。论文选取MCTB中承受载荷较大的FIX_OIS支撑腿结构作为研究对象,运用ANSYS有限元软件对其开展了稳态热结构耦合分析。鉴于支撑腿螺栓在低温环境下的服役条件以及紧固功能特性,对螺栓预紧力进行了调整优化,既降低螺栓在工作过程中发生低温脆断的风险,也避免了在磁体放电过程中螺栓发生松动。参考BPVC. VIII.2—2021和JB 4732—1995标准及VDI 2230—2015标准对支撑腿螺栓的强度进行了评判,结果显示螺栓强度均满足结构安全性的要求。论文为聚变堆等超低温环境下螺栓强度分析研究工作提供了有益的参考。

     

    Abstract: The superconducting magnets are undeniably the core components of a tokamak device, playing a pivotal role in its operation. These magnets are subjected to extreme low-temperature environments and complex discharge scenarios during their service. To ensure the stable and reliable performance of these critical components under such harsh conditions, simulated tests are conducted within the Magnet Cold Test Bench (MCTB). Since the magnet support legs, as critical components for securing the magnets in MCTB, plays a vital role in structural safety, especially in the bolted connections, which are prone to failure and may lead to accidents, rigorous and comprehensive strength verification are required to ensure sufficient strength and stability in a 4 K service environment. In this study, the FIX_OIS support leg structure that bears a large load in MCTB is selected as the research object, and the steady-state thermal structure coupling analysis is carried out on it by using finite element software ANSYS. In view of the service conditions and fastening function characteristics of the support leg bolts in a low-temperature environment, the preload of the bolts has been adjusted and optimized, which not only reduces the risk of low-temperature brittle fracture of the bolts during operation, but also avoids the loosening of the bolts during the discharge process of the magnet. Then, the strength of the support leg bolts was evaluated by referring to the BPVC. VIII. 2—2021, JB 4732—1995 standard and VDI 2230—2015 standard. According to the evaluation results, the strength of the bolts all met the requirements of structural safety. This paper provides certain reference value for the analysis and research of bolt strength in ultra-low temperature environments such as fusion reactors.
