Experimental Research on Energy Spectrum Analysis on Chips from Aeroengine Oil System

Abstract:

Inspection on chips from oil system is an important method for modern aeroengine condition monitoring. Energy spectrum analysis technique is the most widely used and effective method in inspection on metal chips. In this method, size and quantity of chips are observed by scanning electronic microscope and qualitative and quantitative analysis of element contents are finished by energy dispersive spectrometer. Through above experiments, material type of metal chips can be analyzed and material mark can be determined by comparison with the materials list used in the aeroengine. In this article, characteristics and advantages of energy spectrum analysis technology are systematically introduced and typical appearance feature and energy spectrum curve of common l chips are summarized in engineering practice. In addition, problems and prospects of energy spectrum analysis technique are proposed.
