MoVNbTiZr for nuclear powerxHigh-entropy alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal materials and preparation thereof, in particular to Mo for nuclear power0.5V0.5NbTiZrxHigh-entropy alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The high-entropy alloy is a newly developed metal material, and breaks through the traditional design idea of the alloy with one or two main elements. The novel alloy design concept greatly expands the system of alloy design and provides a wide platform for exploring alloys with new components and new properties. Generally speaking, the high-entropy alloy means that the component number of the alloy is more than or equal to 5, the components of the alloy are proportioned in an equimolar ratio, and the mole percentage of each element is between 5% and 35%. Since the alloy does not mainly contain one element, the high-entropy alloy is also called multi-principal-element alloy. However, the latest research result shows that the high-entropy alloy with the equal molar ratio does not necessarily have the best performance, and the high-entropy alloy with the unequal molar ratio, namely the second-generation high-entropy alloy, can also be designed according to the multi-principal-element design idea of the high-entropy alloy.
Although the high-entropy alloy has multiple main elements, after reasonable and careful composition design, the alloy can form a simple solid solution phase, such as: face centered cubic, body centered cubic, or hexagonal close packed. The phase formed is much lower than predicted by the gibbs phase law, which may be due to the high entropy effect of high entropy alloys, especially at high temperatures.
The design and preparation work of the block high-entropy alloy for nuclear power is less, most of reported high-entropy alloys contain transition metal elements, particularly cobalt elements, and are not suitable for being used as nuclear power materials due to high thermal neutron absorption cross sections and high induced radioactivity. Therefore, the selection of the element with the low thermal neutron absorption cross section as the element for designing the high-entropy alloy has important practical significance.

Due to the fact that the multiple main elements of the high-entropy alloy have different physical and chemical properties and atomic sizes, severe local lattice distortion and stress on an atomic scale can be caused, and the high-entropy alloy is beneficial to improving the irradiation resistance and the high-temperature performance of the high-entropy alloy, so that the high-entropy alloy becomes an attractive nuclear material.

Most of high-entropy alloys reported in the literature contain cobalt element, and are not suitable for being used as fuel cladding materials due to high thermal neutron absorption cross section and induced radioactivity, so that five alloy elements of Mo, V, Nb, Ti and Zr are selected as alloy components by taking the thermal neutron absorption cross section of the element as an important reference basis in the screening process of the alloy elements. Mo is designed and prepared by using a design method of high-entropy alloy0.5V0.5NbTiZrx(x is 0 to 2.0) high entropy alloy, and combination of the alloy structure, mechanical properties and high temperature corrosionThe etching performance was investigated.
