Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of zirconium alloy, and particularly provides a method for identifying delta-phase hydride and FCC-Zr precipitated phase in zirconium alloy.
Background
The zircaloy has a low thermal neutron absorption cross section, good corrosion resistance and moderate mechanical properties, and is widely applied to core structural materials (such as fuel cladding, pressure pipe, support, orifice pipe and the like) of nuclear reactors. The zirconium alloy service environment is high-temperature high-pressure water and steam at the temperature of 300-400 ℃, oxygen in the water reacts with the zirconium matrix to form zirconium oxide, hydrogen atoms are released, and the hydrogen atoms are fused into the zirconium matrix. When the concentration of hydrogen exceeds the solubility limit of the matrix zirconium, hydrides may precipitate in the matrix of zirconium and zirconium alloys. The hydride is a typical brittle phase, the presence of the hydride can deteriorate the strength and toughness of the material, and the hydride can also generate certain growth stress due to volume expansion during the formation process. The presence of hydrides can lead to failure of the reactor structure, which can ultimately affect the quality and safety of the reactor operation. Based on the specificity of the materials for nuclear reactors, the formation mechanism, morphology, distribution and control manner of hydrides in zirconium alloys have been receiving attention from researchers of nuclear materials.
The FCC-Zr precipitated phase of face-centered cubic structure is a new precipitated phase discovered by related researchers in recent years in zirconium alloys of HCP structural phase, and research on its formation mechanism and alloy properties is still at the beginning. However, the morphology, lattice constant and orientation relationship of the FCC-Zr precipitated phase and the HCP-Zr matrix are similar to those of a hydride (delta phase hydride), and since the electron microscope technology cannot analyze the distribution characteristics of hydrogen elements, the two precipitated phases cannot be identified by either the scanning electron microscope or the transmission electron microscope technology, which brings great inconvenience to the development of related scientific research. Therefore, it is important to invent a practical method for identifying the delta phase hydride and the FCC phase in the zirconium alloy.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for accurately and quickly distinguishing a delta-phase hydride and an FCC-Zr precipitated phase. The invention provides a method for identifying delta-phase hydride and FCC-Zr precipitated phase with face-centered cubic structure in zirconium alloy, which comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: observing and analyzing the needle-like phase needing to be identified as FCC-Zr phase or delta phase hydride by adopting a metallographic microscope (OM), or a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and recording and marking the accurate position of the needle-like phase; wherein, a metallographic microscope (OM), a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is adjusted according to the size of the precipitated phases, and the precipitated phases with different sizes need to adopt different instruments.
Step two: vacuum packaging the zirconium alloy sample in the step one by using a quartz tube, and filling inert gas argon for protection; in the packaging process, the surface of the sample is ensured not to be polluted, and the purpose of filling the inert gas argon is to prevent the sample from generating oxidation pollution in the subsequent treatment and influencing the test;
step three: carefully placing the packaged sample in a box-type resistance furnace, keeping the furnace temperature at 500-600 ℃, standing for 1-10 hours, and then air-cooling; in the process, the surface of the sample must be ensured not to be polluted; the cooling speed is high, and a non-furnace cooling mode is adopted for cooling, so that hydrogen formed by decomposition is prevented from forming hydride again, and the analysis result is influenced;
step four: and (3) crushing the quartz tube after the sample is cooled, taking out the sample, and observing and analyzing the same position of the sample by using a metallographic microscope, a scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope which is consistent with the step one, wherein if the precipitated phase disappears (or the size is obviously reduced), the precipitated phase is delta-phase hydride, and if the precipitated phase still exists (or the size of the precipitated phase is basically unchanged), the precipitated phase is FCC-Zr.
The invention provides a method for identifying delta-phase hydride and FCC-Zr precipitated phase of zirconium alloy, which is based on the difference pair of thermal stability of two precipitated phasesWhich are differentiated. The hydrogen atoms in the hydride occupy interstitial sites in the crystal lattice of the zirconium matrix and are therefore also referred to as interstitial hydrides. Therefore, the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice of the zirconium alloy matrix does not change too much due to the presence of hydrogen, but the distance between adjacent atoms is slightly increased. The formation of this type of hydride is related to the nature of the metal, the temperature and the hydrogen partial pressure, since the hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites of the matrix lattice. And their own properties are very similar to those of the parent metal and have very strong reducibility. The stability of such hydrides is particularly poor. Referring to the Zr-H binary phase diagram of FIG. 1, it can be seen from FIG. 1 that when the sample is heat treated at a specific temperature (550 ℃ C. -600 ℃ C.), delta → alpha + H occurs2↑，αH→α+H2↑，βH→α+β+H2@ etc., during which the alloy releases hydrogen gas. When the temperature is kept between 500 ℃ and 600 ℃, the hydride is decomposed to form hydrogen and is diffused to the surface of the sample. And for the FCC-Zr precipitated phase, the research shows that the thermal stability of the FCC-Zr precipitated phase is between that of HCP-Zr and BCC-Zr phases, and the FCC-Zr precipitated phase can exist stably when being kept at the temperature of 500-600 ℃. When the sample is cooled after the temperature is maintained, the hydrogen formed by decomposition is difficult to form hydride again because the cooling speed is high. Thus, it can be judged whether the needle phase is a delta phase hydride or an FCC-Zr phase based on the change of the needle phase before and after the treatment. After the heat preservation at 500-600 ℃, the hydride can be decomposed by rapid cooling, and the FCC-Zr phase can still exist stably, thereby achieving the purpose of identifying two precipitated phases.
In the method, if the heat treatment temperature is high or the sample size is small, the heat preservation time can be correspondingly reduced; on the contrary, when the heat treatment temperature is low, the heat preservation time can be correspondingly prolonged so as to ensure that hydrides in the alloy completely disappear; in the method, in order to protect the surface of the sample from pollution, vacuum packaging must be ensured so as to achieve the aim of quasi-in-situ observation; in the method of the present invention, the cooling rate must be fast to prevent re-precipitation of the hydride during the cooling process.
The method for identifying the delta phase hydride and the FCC-Zr precipitated phase in the zirconium alloy, which is provided by the invention, has the advantages that: the structure identification of complex precipitated phases in the zirconium alloy can be realized only through simple heat treatment, the operation in the test is convenient, the method is simple and practical, the cost is low, and the method has important significance for the research of the zirconium alloy.

respectively carrying out vacuum packaging on the block-shaped test sample and the transmission sample by using a quartz tube, introducing inert gas argon for protection, and carrying out air cooling after heat preservation for 6 hours in a box-type furnace resistance furnace at the furnace temperature of 600 ℃ (the whole process ensures that the surface of the sample is free from pollution);
and taking out the sample after cooling, and observing and analyzing the structure or the needle-like phase at the same position under a metallographic microscope, a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope respectively, wherein the metallographic microstructure and the scanning electron microscopic appearance of the sample after heat treatment are respectively shown in fig. 5 and 6. It can be seen that the amount of needle-like phases in the heat-treated sample did not change significantly; it is shown that the needle phase in the Zr-4 alloy should not be a hydride, and the dimensions before and after heat treatment are not significantly reduced for the needle phase at the same position, confirming that it should be an FCC-Zr phase; also, the morphology and size of the same needle-like phase in TEM did not change significantly (as shown in FIG. 7), indicating that the needle-like precipitated phase is FCC-Zr phase.
