Influence of Circular through Hole in Pt-Rh Bushing on Temperature Propagation at High Temperature

In the fiberglass industry, Pt–Rh bushings made of platinum and rhodium have very good characteristics, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance. In this paper, a semi-infinite lath structure model is constructed, and the expression of the surface temperature distribution of a Pt–Rh alloy plate with a circular through hole is obtained based on the non-Fourier heat conduction equation, complex function method and conformal mapping method. At the same time, the influence of the position of the circular through hole in the Pt–Rh bushing and the parameters of the incident light source (Non-diffusion incident wave number and relative thermal diffusion length) on the surface temperature distribution of the Pt–Rh bushing is studied by using this formula. It is found that: 1. heat concentration and fracture are occur easily at the through hole; 2. when the through hole is in the asymmetric center, the greater the asymmetry, the smaller the maximum temperature amplitude; 3. when the buried depth of the through hole increases, the maximum temperature amplitude decreases; 4. when the incident wave number and the relative thermal diffusion length of the incident light source are larger, the maximum temperature amplitude is smaller. The numerical results are almost consistent with those of ANSYS thermal simulation. The expression of the surface temperature distribution of the semi-infinite lath structure proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the loss of precious metal materials and the time of thermal simulation in the experimental process, as well as provide important significance for structural design, quality inspection, process optimization, and service life improvement of Pt–Rh bushings.
