Abstract: A method for homogenizing the compositions and mechanical performances of nickel-based material brazed joints, includes three homogenized manufacturing steps: Step I, assembling the welding sample, placing it into the vacuum furnace, and then heating up to 830˜860° C. and holding the temperature; then heating up again to 1050˜1100° C. and holding the temperature; allowing for slow self-cooling in vacuum till it reaches 620˜640° C.; then filling the furnace with nitrogen and starting the vacuum furnace fan at the same time, so that the sample is cooled down to 40˜60° C.; Step II, raising the temperature up to 1140˜1160° C. and holding, then cooling it down to the room temperature through water-quenching; Step III, raising the temperature of the welding sample up to 680˜750° C. again, and cooling it down to the room temperature through air cooling.

Abstract: A design method for creep-fatigue strength of a plate-fin heat exchanger. The method includes preliminarily designing the plate-fin heat exchanger according to its service requirements, making a primary stress assessment for the plate-fin heat exchanger, calculating the equivalent mechanical and thermophysical parameters of the plate-fin heat exchanger core to satisfy the allowable stress requirement, performing a thermal fatigue analysis for the plate-fin heat exchanger based on these parameters and then calculating the fatigue life and creep life of the plate-fin heat exchanger to accomplish the comprehensive design of the plate-fin heat exchanger in the high-temperature service. The design method provides an effective method for the high temperature design of the plate-fin heat exchanger.
