Abstract

The invention discloses a self-passivating tungsten alloy (SPTA) with low alloy element strengthening high-temperature oxidation resistance and a preparation method thereof. Thermal shock oxidation experiments show that the introduction of low alloy elements can obviously enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the SPTA.

Description

Low-alloy-element-reinforced high-temperature oxidation-resistant self-passivated tungsten alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of refractory tungsten (W) alloy applied under extreme conditions (high temperature and oxidation), and particularly relates to a low-alloy-element self-passivating tungsten alloy with strengthened high-temperature oxidation resistance and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Tungsten (W) has the advantages of high melting point (about 3410 ℃), high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, good high-temperature mechanical property and the like, and has wide application prospect in extreme environments. However, W is very easily oxidized under a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, thereby affecting its use at high temperatures. Such as: after the first wall W material for the future nuclear fusion device is subjected to neutron irradiation, the first wall W material has certain radioactivity; if oxidation, volatilization occurs, there is a risk of nuclear radioactivity leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a W alloy material having good oxidation resistance. Self-passivating tungsten alloys (SPTA) are used to ensure continued use by the addition of alloying elements that preferentially form a dense protective scale on their surface, which prevents oxidation of W.
At present, the SPTA with better oxidation resistance is obtained mainly by optimizing components and regulating and controlling a microstructure. For example, when the composition of W-Cr-Zr thin film alloy is optimized, the W alloy has an optimal Zr/Cr ratio (5-10%) when the Cr content is sufficient. Generally, the content of Cr in SPTA is about 10-14 wt.%, and the solid solution temperature is above 1400 ℃. In the aspect of microstructure regulation, the nano W alloy can be prepared by adopting a low-temperature and high-pressure sintering technology, and the corresponding sintering temperature is lower than 1200 ℃. However, when the W alloy is sintered at a temperature lower than the solid solution temperature, Cr element is inevitably segregated, which is disadvantageous in improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance thereof. The Field Assisted Sintering (FAST) technology utilizes a current field of pulse direct current and a stress field of axial external load to sinter sintered powder, and can realize rapid densification of refractory metal materials at low temperature. Therefore, the invention optimizes the composition of the SPTA by adding low alloy elements, and then carries out densification by FAST to prepare the SPTA with high-density, fine-grain and little segregation/homogeneous structure, so as to have good high-temperature oxidation resistance.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a low-alloy-element-reinforced high-temperature-oxidation-resistance self-passivated tungsten alloy (SPTA) and a preparation method thereof.
The invention relates to a low-alloy-element reinforced high-temperature oxidation resistance self-passivated tungsten alloy SPTA, which comprises the following components:
the content of the passivating element is more than or equal to 10 wt% and less than or equal to 13 wt%, the content of the activating element is more than 0 wt% and less than or equal to 1 wt%, the content of the low alloy element is more than 0 wt% and less than or equal to 0.5 wt%, and the balance is W.
The passivation element is Cr; the activating elements are Y and Zr; the low alloy element is Ti and/or Si, preferably Ti and Si.
It is to be noted that the contents of the low alloying elements in the above ratios are defined for Ti and Si, respectively, not for the total content of the low alloying elements. That is, in the self-passivating tungsten alloy SPTA of the present invention, 0 wt.% < Ti < 0.5 wt.%, 0 wt.% < Si < 0.5 wt.%. No matter the low alloy element is independent Ti or Si, or Ti and Si, the proportioning requirements are met.
According to the number of element types in the W alloy, the W alloy is named according to the following scheme:
the W-Cr-Y-Zr-Ti alloy is named ZW5 ("Z" and "W" denote "self-passivating" and "tungsten alloy", respectively; 5 denotes the number of species of elements in the W alloy).
The W-Cr-Y-Zr-Ti-Si alloy is named ZW6 ("Z" and "W" denote "self-passivating" and "tungsten alloy", respectively; 6 denotes the number of species of elements in the W matrix).
The low-alloy element reinforced high-temperature oxidation resistance SPTA has the characteristics of high compactness, fine grains and a small amount of segregation/homogeneous structure, the relative density of the SPTA is more than 98%, and the grain size of the SPTA is about 200 nm.
The SPTA with low alloy element and strengthened high-temperature oxidation resistance is subjected to thermal shock high-temperature oxidation resistance test at 1000 ℃ in air atmosphere, and the quality change of the SPTA during oxidation is analyzedBehavior, optimization of the W alloy composition. The alloy is obtained by optimizing the components, when trace elements Ti and Si are simultaneously added into the W alloy, the obtained ZW6 alloy block has the optimal high-temperature oxidation resistance, and the oxidation weight gain is less than 5mg/cm after the alloy block is oxidized for 165h2
In the low-alloy-element-reinforced high-temperature oxidation-resistant self-passivated tungsten alloy, the mass fractions of Ti and Si are less than 0.5 wt.%, the relative density of the W alloy is more than 98.5%, and a matrix is a fine-grained SPTA block with little segregation and even a homogeneous structure.
The invention relates to a preparation method of a low-alloy-element-reinforced high-temperature oxidation-resistant self-passivated tungsten alloy SPTA, which is characterized in that low alloy elements are uniformly dispersed in a W-Cr matrix by adopting a mechanical alloying technology, then FAST is adopted to densify powder, and technological parameters in a sintering process are controlled to obtain high-density and fine-grain SPTA with different components. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1: mixing W powder, Cr powder, Y powder, Zr powder, Ti powder, Si powder and the like with the purity of 99.5% according to a certain component ratio, putting 110g of the mixture into a hard alloy ball milling tank with hard alloy balls for mechanical ball milling, and regulating and controlling ball milling time, ball milling rotation speed, ball-to-material ratio, ball milling atmosphere and the like to obtain homogeneous W alloy powder;
step 2: the obtained homogeneous W alloy powder is densified by FAST, and the SPTA block body with high densification, fine grains and a small amount of segregation/homogeneous structure is prepared by controlling the technological parameters such as sintering temperature, pressure, heating rate, isothermal time and the like in the sintering process.
In order to avoid oxidation of the powder during ball milling, preparation in the early stage of powder ball milling was carried out in an Ar atmosphere glove box.
In order to obtain homogeneous W alloy powder, the mechanical alloying technological parameter regulation and control range is as follows: the ball milling time is 2-80 h, the ball milling rotation speed is 300-600 rad/min, the ball-material ratio is 5: 1-15: 1, and the ball milling atmosphere is Ar.
In order to optimize the W alloy microstructure, the FAST process parameter control range is as follows: the sintering temperature is 1000-1400 ℃, the pressure is 50-100 MPa, the heating rate is 50-300 ℃/min, and the heat preservation time is 0-5 min.
The SPTA of the invention adopts W as a matrix, ensures that a sufficient amount of passivation element Cr forms an oxide skin on the surface of W, and then adds trace elements Y, Zr, Ti, Si and the like, wherein the Y element can improve the strength of the oxide skin on the surface; zr is used for slowing down the diffusion of Cr cation; the low alloy elements (Ti and Si) are added to optimize the SPTA components, and the FAST low-temperature rapid densification technology is combined, so that the SPTA block with a high-density, fine-grain and small-amount segregation/homogeneous structure is obtained, and the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the SPTA block is effectively and lowly enhanced.
