Opis: This study focuses on the mechanical, fatigue and metallographic characterisation of copper-brazed 316L stainless steel for the potential use in different plate heat exchangers (PHE) applications. The quasi-static and fatigue tests have been performed on the specially designed copper-brazed tensile specimens to obtain the engineering stress–strain diagram and the fatigue life curve of the analysed brazed joint. Furthermore, a comprehensive metallographic investigation has been done, focusing on (i) material characterisation of asreceived stainless steel 316L, (ii) characterisation of the brazed joint and (iii) fractographic analyses of fractured surfaces by quasi-static and fatigue loading. The obtained experimental results may be beneficial for designing copper-brazed plate heat exchangers in the future.

Opis: The plate heat exchanger (PHE) is a component that provides heat to be transferred from hot water to domestic cold water without mixing them with high efficiency. Over the lifetime of the PHE, cyclic pressures act on the brazing points and the plates, and this may lead to fatigue failure. The fatigue behaviour of the PHE, designed using copper-brazed 316L stainless steel, was investigated in this study. First, the fatigue tests under the load ratio R = 0.1 were performed on the Vibrophore 100 testing machine to obtain the S-N curve of the analysed brazed joint. Based on the obtained experimental results, an appropriate material model of the analysed brazed joint has been created, which was validated with numerical calculation in the framework of a program code Ansys. A validated material model was then used for the subsequent numerical analysis of PHE. In order to carry out a numerical calculation using the finite element method (FEM), a three-dimensional model of the heat exchanger was created based on the previous scanning of PHE-geometry. Thereafter, the geometry was parameterised, which allowed us to perform parametric simulations (monitoring different responses depending on the input geometry). Numerical simulations were carried out in the framework of the Ansys 2023-R1 software, whereby the obtained results were analysed, and the responses were appropriately characterised according to previously determined load cases.
