Description

一种钼合金事故容错燃料棒的焊接封装方法A welding and packaging method for molybdenum alloy accident-tolerant fuel rods

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及焊接技术领域,特别是涉及一种钼合金事故容错燃料棒的焊接封装方法。The invention relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a welding and packaging method for a molybdenum alloy accident-tolerant fuel rod.

背景技术Background technique

长期以来,核反应堆燃料包壳组件主要使用锆合金材料,然而在2011年日本福岛核电站事故中,锆合金在约1200℃温度下和水/水蒸气发生反应,并最终导致爆炸。福岛核电站机组爆炸使世界核工业界和科学界意识到需要开发一种能够在较长时间内抵抗严重事故工况、延缓事态恶化速度,为人们采取应急措施争取到更多宝贵时间,大大降低放射性原料泄漏风险的新颖燃料系统,即事故容错燃料(AccidentTolerantFuel,简称ATF)。钼具有中子吸收截面小、高温强度好、导热性好、线膨胀系数小盒耐腐蚀性好等优点,因此,钼合金被世界核工业界列为ATF包壳的主要备选材料。For a long time, zirconium alloy materials have been mainly used for nuclear reactor fuel cladding components. However, in the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan, zirconium alloys reacted with water/water vapor at a temperature of about 1200 °C, and eventually caused an explosion. The explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant unit has made the world's nuclear industry and scientific community realize that it is necessary to develop a system that can resist severe accident conditions for a long time, delay the deterioration of the situation, and buy more precious time for people to take emergency measures. A novel fuel system for the risk of leakage of radioactive materials, namely Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF). Molybdenum has the advantages of small neutron absorption cross section, good high temperature strength, good thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance of linear expansion coefficient small box. Therefore, molybdenum alloy is listed as the main candidate material for ATF cladding by the world nuclear industry.

目前,锆合金的燃料棒包壳组件的传统焊接工艺主要包括以下步骤:(1)在常压气氛中进行下端塞和包壳管之间的环缝焊接,(2)在常压气氛中进行上端塞和包壳管之间的环缝焊接,(3)在高压惰性气体气氛中进行上端塞密封焊点的堵孔,实现密封盒包壳管内充氦;在上述焊接过程中,通常采用电阻焊、氩弧焊、激光焊接等方式。但上述焊接工艺对钼合金的燃料棒包壳组件的焊接封装并不适用,例如:At present, the traditional welding process of zirconium alloy fuel rod cladding assemblies mainly includes the following steps: (1) performing circumferential seam welding between the lower end plug and the cladding tube in a normal pressure atmosphere, (2) performing a circular seam welding in a normal pressure atmosphere Circumferential seam welding between the upper end plug and the cladding tube, (3) in a high-pressure inert gas atmosphere, the upper end plug seals the welding point of the hole, so as to realize the helium filling in the sealed box cladding tube; in the above welding process, the resistance is usually used welding, argon arc welding, laser welding, etc. However, the above welding process is not applicable to the welding and packaging of molybdenum alloy fuel rod cladding components, such as:

由于钼合金焊后焊缝及热影响区尺寸大、晶粒严重粗化,在材料本征脆性和杂质偏析弱化晶界共同作用下,接头强度和韧性很差。由于钼的导电率高使钼及钼合金的电阻焊可焊接性变差,因此电阻焊不适用于钼合金燃料棒包壳焊接。搅拌摩擦焊接工具磨损严重,同时还存在焊接结束搅拌头提出工件时,焊缝中形成一个难以修补的键孔、焊缝耐腐蚀性下降、薄壁管件不易夹持等问题,因此搅拌摩擦焊接也不适用于钼合金燃料棒包壳焊接。钎焊的钎缝强度和耐热性都比母材金属低,其高温服役性能通常不如熔焊接头,因此钎焊不适用于钼合金燃料棒包壳焊接。而熔焊时,高性能钼合金经历熔化-凝固(或再结晶)这一过程后,其强韧性优势将消失,并出现严重的脆化和气孔缺陷问题。Due to the large size of the weld seam and the heat-affected zone of the molybdenum alloy after welding, and the serious coarsening of the grains, the joint strength and toughness are very poor under the combined action of the intrinsic brittleness of the material and the weakened grain boundaries of the impurity segregation. Since the high electrical conductivity of molybdenum makes the weldability of molybdenum and molybdenum alloys worse, resistance welding is not suitable for molybdenum alloy fuel rod cladding welding. The friction stir welding tool is seriously worn, and there are also problems such as a difficult-to-repair key hole in the weld when the stirring head lifts the workpiece at the end of welding, the corrosion resistance of the weld is reduced, and the thin-walled pipe fittings are not easily clamped. Not suitable for molybdenum alloy fuel rod cladding welding. The brazing seam strength and heat resistance of brazing are lower than that of the base metal, and its high-temperature service performance is usually not as good as that of fusion welded joints, so brazing is not suitable for molybdenum alloy fuel rod cladding welding. During fusion welding, after the high-performance molybdenum alloy undergoes a process of melting and solidification (or recrystallization), its strength and toughness advantages will disappear, and serious embrittlement and porosity defects will appear.

同时,上端塞的封堵还需要在高压(2-3MPa)环境下进行,虽然高功率密度热源可以在很低的热输入下进行焊接、获得尺寸很小的焊缝,用其进行钼及钼合金焊接具有很大优势,但由于进行上端塞堵孔时的高压环境,使真空电子束焊接方法的应用受到限制。在常压尤其负压下焊接时,由于激光焊热源能量密度高,金属材料被迅速加热熔化并伴随着金属剧烈蒸发,剧烈蒸发会在熔池表面产生反冲压力,在反冲压力的作用下,熔池液面向下凹陷,形成一个被液态金属包围的小孔。激光束在小孔内部多次反射并向小孔底部汇聚,导致熔池底部的金属又强烈蒸发,如此循环,形成窄而深的焊缝。而反冲压力与环境压力密切相关,在2-3MPa高压条件下进行激光焊时,熔深会大幅度减小、下降幅度高达80%以上,同时熔化区宽度大幅度增加,完全丧失了“焊缝尺寸小、窄而深”的优势,导致接头性能恶化,因此在核燃料包壳封装所需的高压环境下,无法使用激光焊方法来进行上端塞的封堵。旋转摩擦焊方法是在压力作用下,利用被焊工件接触面之间的相对运动在摩擦面及其附近区域产生摩擦热和塑性变形,使接触面附近温度升高到接近熔点的温度,材料的变形抗力降低、塑性提高、界面的氧化膜破碎,伴随材料产生适当的流动及宏观塑性变形,通过界面的原子扩散和再结晶而实现焊接,但是传统的旋转摩擦焊工艺都会采用顶锻措施,在顶锻力的冲击作用下,钼合金薄壁包壳管会被挤溃,因此,传统的旋转摩擦焊接工艺也不适合于钼合金燃料棒的焊接。At the same time, the plugging of the upper end plug also needs to be carried out in a high pressure (2-3MPa) environment, although a high power density heat source can be welded at a very low heat input, and a small size weld can be obtained. Molybdenum and molybdenum Alloy welding has great advantages, but the application of vacuum electron beam welding is limited due to the high pressure environment when the upper end plugs the hole. When welding under normal pressure, especially negative pressure, due to the high energy density of the laser welding heat source, the metal material is rapidly heated and melted and the metal is violently evaporated. The violent evaporation will generate recoil pressure on the surface of the molten pool. , the liquid surface of the molten pool is recessed downward, forming a small hole surrounded by liquid metal. The laser beam is reflected multiple times inside the small hole and converges at the bottom of the small hole, causing the metal at the bottom of the molten pool to evaporate strongly, and so on, forming a narrow and deep weld. The recoil pressure is closely related to the environmental pressure. When laser welding is performed under the condition of 2-3MPa high pressure, the penetration depth will be greatly reduced, and the drop rate will be as high as 80%. The advantages of small size, narrow and deep seam lead to deterioration of joint performance, so in the high pressure environment required for nuclear fuel cladding packaging, laser welding method cannot be used to seal the upper end plug. The rotary friction welding method is to use the relative motion between the contact surfaces of the workpieces to be welded to generate friction heat and plastic deformation under the action of pressure, so that the temperature near the contact surface is raised to a temperature close to the melting point, and the material is The deformation resistance is reduced, the plasticity is improved, the oxide film at the interface is broken, and the material produces appropriate flow and macroscopic plastic deformation, and welding is achieved through atomic diffusion and recrystallization at the interface. However, the traditional rotary friction welding process will use upsetting measures. Under the impact of the upsetting force, the molybdenum alloy thin-walled cladding tube will be crushed, so the traditional rotary friction welding process is not suitable for the welding of molybdenum alloy fuel rods.

由于钼因其优异的特性被世界核工业列为ATF包壳的主要备选材料,因此亟需提出一种不但适用于钼合金的核燃料包壳封装,还能够提高焊缝质量、焊接强度的钼合金事故容错燃料棒的焊接封装方法。Since molybdenum is listed as the main candidate material for ATF cladding by the world nuclear industry due to its excellent properties, it is urgent to propose a molybdenum fuel cladding package that is not only suitable for molybdenum alloys, but also can improve weld quality and welding strength. Welded encapsulation method for alloy accident-tolerant fuel rods.

在焊接过程中,首先利用砂纸将包壳管2和实心下端塞1打磨干净,接着讲试样浸入丙酮中进行超声波清洗。包壳管2与实心下端塞1的装配界面处添加一金属层,金属层的材质可以为Zr、Ti、Ni、Hf以及Al中的一种或几种,将包壳管2和实心下端塞1装配好,置于高压舱内,然后利用旋转卡盘将组装好的包壳管2和实心下端塞1夹持住。焊接开始前对高压舱进行抽真空至舱内压力小于10-9MPa,然后充入99.999%纯度的氩气,然后再抽真空至舱内压力小于10-9MPa,然后再充入99.999%纯度的氩气,如此反复执行抽真空和充入氩气,保证高压舱内气体纯净度,使高压舱内气体含氧量≤1.5PPM、含氮量≤50PPM、总碳量≤5PPM、含水量≤3PPM,焊前最后一次充入氩气,使压力达到“负压惰性气体气氛环境”的压力(0.01-0.1MPa)。在焊接前利用加热装置对组装好的包壳管2和实心下端塞1进行预热,预热温度为400℃-450℃,焊接前的预热能够减小钼合金激光焊接接头的焊接残余应力。焊接过程中,激光头保持固定,激光光斑对焦在包壳管2和实心下端塞1对接区域,接着旋转卡盘带动包壳管2和实心下端塞1转动,完成包壳管2和实心下端塞1环缝的焊接。在进行上述激光熔焊的过程中,装配界面处的实心下端塞1和包壳管2母材以及金属层发生熔化,在装配界面处实心下端塞1和包壳管2母材形成熔融连接,金属层与装配界面位置形成冶金结合。During the welding process, the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1 were first polished with sandpaper, and then the sample was immersed in acetone for ultrasonic cleaning. A metal layer is added at the assembly interface of the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1. The material of the metal layer can be one or more of Zr, Ti, Ni, Hf and Al. 1 is assembled, placed in a high pressure chamber, and then the assembled cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1 are clamped by a rotary chuck. Before welding, the high pressure chamber is evacuated until the pressure in the chamber is less than 10 -9 MPa, and then filled with 99.999% pure argon gas, and then evacuated to the pressure in the chamber less than 10 -9 MPa, and then filled with 99.999% pure argon gas The argon gas in the hyperbaric chamber is repeatedly evacuated and filled with argon gas to ensure the purity of the gas in the hyperbaric chamber, so that the oxygen content in the hyperbaric chamber is ≤1.5PPM, the nitrogen content is ≤50PPM, the total carbon content is ≤5PPM, and the water content is ≤ 3PPM, fill with argon for the last time before welding, so that the pressure reaches the pressure of "negative pressure inert gas atmosphere" (0.01-0.1MPa). Use a heating device to preheat the assembled cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1 before welding. The preheating temperature is 400℃-450℃. The preheating before welding can reduce the welding residual stress of the molybdenum alloy laser welded joint. . During the welding process, the laser head is kept fixed, and the laser spot is focused on the butting area of the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1, and then the rotating chuck drives the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1 to rotate, and the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug are completed. 1 Circumferential seam welding. During the above laser fusion welding process, the base material of the solid lower end plug 1 and the cladding tube 2 and the metal layer at the assembly interface melt, and the solid lower end plug 1 and the base material of the cladding tube 2 form a fusion connection at the assembly interface. The metal layer forms a metallurgical bond with the assembly interface location.

完成上述环缝焊接后,向包壳管2内依次放入隔热块3、若干核燃料芯块4、隔热块3、弹簧5,然后再装配上空心上端塞6,在包壳管2和空心上端塞6的装配界面处添加金属层,该金属层与包壳管2和实心下端塞1装配界面处添加的金属层材质相同,然后将装配好的整体放入高压舱内进行焊接,焊接过程与包壳管2和实心下端塞1的焊接过程相同,在此不做赘述。After completing the above-mentioned circumferential seam welding, put the heat insulating block 3, several nuclear fuel pellets 4, heat insulating blocks 3, and springs 5 in sequence into the cladding tube 2, and then assemble the hollow upper end plug 6. A metal layer is added at the assembly interface of the hollow upper end plug 6, and the metal layer is of the same material as the metal layer added at the assembly interface of the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1, and then the assembled whole is put into the high-pressure chamber for welding. The process is the same as the welding process of the cladding tube 2 and the solid lower end plug 1, and will not be repeated here.

上述过程完成后,进行空心下端塞6和棒状封料7的焊接,此过程需在高压(2-3MPa)环境下采用无顶锻旋转摩擦焊的方式进行。具体操作过程为:将之前焊接完成两道环缝焊接的燃料棒组件和棒状封块7放入高压舱内,在高压舱内将棒状封块7与空心上端塞6分别装配在夹具上并对中,完成两道环缝焊接的燃料棒组件被液压夹具夹住不动,装夹接触面完全位于空心上端塞6区域内,棒状封块7装夹在与电机相连的旋转夹盘上。装夹完毕后,对高压舱进行抽真空至舱内压力小于10-9MPa,然后充入99.999%纯度的氩气,如此反复执行抽真空和充入氩气,保证高压舱内气体纯净度,使高压舱内气体含氧量≤1.5PPM、含氮量≤50PPM、总碳量≤5PPM、含水量≤3PPM。焊前最后一次充入氩气,使压力达到燃料棒高压封装气体所属压力(2-3MPa)。然后进行无顶锻旋转摩擦焊,在此过程中,电机带动旋转夹盘旋转,从而带动棒状封块7旋转,液压夹具通过液压油缸沿轴向施加恒定载荷,即焊接压力;棒状封块7与空心上端塞6端面接触,在焊接压力下相对旋转产生摩擦,通过摩擦力产生的热量完成焊接,焊接压力的施加为从焊接开始到焊接结束的整个过程。设定焊接工艺参数为:焊接压力80±10MPa,电机转速2000±200r/min,焊接时间为3±1s。传统的旋转摩擦焊接为使进行焊接的两部分接触,旋转夹盘进行旋转,开始进行旋转摩擦焊接,在焊接快结束时,由液压油缸推动液压夹具施加顶锻力,液压油缸迅速而非恒定的给液压油,从而带动液压夹具迅速的向前施加具有冲击性的轴向力,从而完成焊接。本发明中,取消在焊接快结束时施加的具有冲击性的顶锻力,在整个的焊接过程中施加恒定的焊接压力。采用无顶锻旋转摩擦焊的形式,避免了传统旋转摩擦焊工艺在焊接过程中需要施加具有冲击性的顶锻力,从而造成因包壳管2管壁薄而造成的将包壳管挤溃的现象。After the above process is completed, the hollow lower end plug 6 and the rod-shaped sealing material 7 are welded, and this process needs to be carried out by means of rotary friction welding without upsetting in a high pressure (2-3MPa) environment. The specific operation process is as follows: put the fuel rod assembly and the rod-shaped sealing block 7 that have been welded with two circular seams before into the high-pressure chamber, and assemble the rod-shaped sealing block 7 and the hollow upper end plug 6 on the fixture respectively in the high-pressure chamber. , the fuel rod assembly that has completed two circumferential seam welding is clamped by the hydraulic clamp, the clamping contact surface is completely located in the area of the hollow upper end plug 6, and the rod-shaped sealing block 7 is clamped on the rotating chuck connected to the motor. After the clamping is completed, the high pressure chamber is evacuated until the pressure in the chamber is less than 10 -9 MPa, and then filled with 99.999% pure argon gas. The oxygen content of the gas in the hyperbaric chamber should be ≤1.5PPM, the nitrogen content should be ≤50PPM, the total carbon content should be ≤5PPM, and the water content should be ≤3PPM. Fill with argon gas for the last time before welding, so that the pressure reaches the pressure of the high-pressure package gas of the fuel rod (2-3MPa). Then, non-upset rotary friction welding is performed. During this process, the motor drives the rotary chuck to rotate, thereby driving the rod-shaped sealing block 7 to rotate. The hydraulic fixture applies a constant load in the axial direction through the hydraulic cylinder, that is, the welding pressure; the rod-shaped sealing block 7 and the The hollow upper end plug 6 is in contact with the end faces, and the relative rotation generates friction under the welding pressure. The welding is completed by the heat generated by the frictional force. The application of the welding pressure is the whole process from the beginning of the welding to the end of the welding. Set the welding process parameters as follows: the welding pressure is 80±10MPa, the motor speed is 2000±200r/min, and the welding time is 3±1s. In traditional rotary friction welding, in order to make the two parts to be welded contact, the rotary chuck rotates, and the rotary friction welding starts. At the end of the welding, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the hydraulic fixture to apply the upsetting force. The hydraulic oil is supplied to drive the hydraulic clamp to quickly apply an impactful axial force forward to complete the welding. In the present invention, the impactful upsetting force applied at the end of welding is eliminated, and a constant welding pressure is applied throughout the welding process. Adopting the form of non-upset rotary friction welding avoids the need to apply impact forging force in the welding process of the traditional rotary friction welding process, resulting in the collapse of the cladding tube due to the thin wall of the cladding tube 2. The phenomenon.

待无顶锻旋转摩擦焊工艺完成后,调节高压舱内压力至常压水平,约为0.101MPa,在氩气保护下,通过机械加工的方式将无顶锻旋转摩擦焊过程中产生的飞边去除,加工过程中燃料棒装夹在夹具上不动,加工头旋转,将飞边切除。飞边去除完成后,将燃料棒从高压舱内取出,整个焊接封装工艺完成。After the non-upset rotary friction welding process is completed, the pressure in the high pressure chamber is adjusted to the normal pressure level, which is about 0.101MPa. Under the protection of argon, the flash generated during the non-upset rotary friction welding process is removed by machining. During the processing, the fuel rod is clamped on the fixture and does not move, and the processing head rotates to cut off the flash. After the flash removal is completed, the fuel rods are taken out from the high pressure chamber, and the whole welding and packaging process is completed.

在整个焊接封装工艺中,在高压舱内充入的氩气还可采用氦气等其他惰性气体。In the whole welding and packaging process, the argon gas filled in the high pressure chamber can also use other inert gases such as helium gas.
