At present, due to the complex geological conditions and long-distance drive, scheduled and unscheduled cutter head intervention maintenance during shield tunneling has become a major innovation in shield engineering in China. Therefore, paste HDN has been successfully applied to cutter head intervention under pressure, but corresponding research work on its film-forming mechanism and process is lacking. Film-forming experiments and theoretical analysis of the paste indicated that the film-forming process of the paste during gravel-stratum formation can be divided into two stages: Seepage blocking of the forming pore diameter and forming of a mud cake on the excavation surface. The seepage process was completed almost instantaneously, and the forming process of a 5–10 cm mud cake required 1–2 days. In addition, a mud diffusion model was established for investigating the mud infiltration process. The results of the aforementioned experiments were applied to the cutter head intervention of Guangzhou Metro and Lanzhou Metro, and this application ensured the efficient and safe completion of the intervention task.
