Abstract

In a steam generator, the heat transfer tubes are supported by the contact with support plates and anti-vibration bars. The two-phase flow flows over the tubes and causes a vibration when operating. In fatigue analysis, the heat transfer tube is simplified to a beam model, and the contacts with the support plates and the anti-vibration bars are simplified as simple-supported boundary conditions. This linear simplification improves the computational efficiency but cannot simulate the actual situation of the contact area. In consideration of this situation, in the actual analysis, a downwards modified S–N fatigue curve is used to envelop the fretting. For different materials and contact pressure, this modification needs to be obtained through experimental and computational analysis. In this paper, the effect of fretting on fatigue performance of heat transfer tube material 690 alloy is discussed by means of high cycle fretting fatigue test of tube specimen in room temperature air, low cycle fretting fatigue test of sheet specimen in high temperature water environment, and SWT (Smith–Watson–Topper) fretting fatigue predicting simulation, and the conservatism of design fatigue curve is discussed. It is shown that, in range of low cycle and high cycle, the fatigue strength is lower than the mean curve, but it can still be enveloped by the design curve of ASME (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers). However, under the condition of ultra-high cycle, the design curve of ASME can no longer envelop the effect of fretting on fatigue performance, so a further downward modification is necessary to ensure the safety of design.
