Description

一种Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末及其制备方法
本申请要求于2021年08月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为CN202110995961.0、发明名称为“一种Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末及其制备方法”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及核辐射屏蔽材料领域,具体涉及一种Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末及其制备方法。
背景技术
核能是一种结构稳定、密度能量高的清洁型能源,是人类能源供给的有益补充。在核能源系统中,反应堆是核心部分。核反应堆中,核裂变(或聚变)会产生各种辐射射线,如不同能级的中子、γ射线、二次γ射线及其它带电粒子和高能射线,这些射线能够直接伤害人体,也可通过污染空气、土壌、水源及食物等,间接对人体造成损害。一定剂量的射线进入人体后,对人体的组织产生电离作用,致使细胞变形、组织损伤,引起人体器官功能紊乱、新陈代谢障碍等疾病。同时还会使结构材料及机器设备发热、活化,降低其寿命。因此,必须对核反应堆产生的辐射进行有效屏蔽。
目前的核反应堆中的大型屏蔽结构件难以一体化成型,广泛采用的焊接加工手段,不可避免的会产生大量的异形区域,成为辐射屏蔽的薄弱区,对人员和设备安全均构成威胁。目前,主要采用流动性好、球形度高、综合屏蔽性能优异的粉末对异构区域进行致密填充,弥补主体屏蔽性能的不足,完善屏蔽体的屏蔽性能。除此之外,一些大型Fe基屏蔽体材料在使用过程中,会出现局部磨损或腐蚀,造成屏蔽体屏蔽性能的下降,故也需具有优异屏蔽性能的Fe基合金粉末对屏蔽体的缺陷进行填充和修补,从而大幅降低屏蔽系统的维护和修理成本。
目前,在上述领域中应用最为广泛的是气雾化方法制备的含硼不锈钢粉末,其具有球形度高,流动性好,热中子屏蔽性能好以及耐腐蚀等优点。但其也存在一些不足:在含硼不锈钢粉末中,Fe、Ni、Cr等元素的相对原子质量较小,对γ射线的屏蔽效果有限。同时,B元素在基体晶界上存在偏析,合金元素的微观均匀性有待优化。富含W、B元素的Fe基屏蔽合金作为一类新型核辐射屏蔽用材料,其中W、B元素以稳定的三元硼化物FeWB相的形式存在。材料中的B元素具有高的热中子吸收截面,能有效屏蔽热中子,而W元素属于重元素,能有效屏蔽γ射线。目前,现有技术制备的Fe-W-B合金粉末,一定程度上避免了元素的偏析,有利于合金粉末综合屏蔽性能的提高。但该粉末在球形度(仅有82.7%)、流动性(19.14s/50g)以及氧含量(0.7934wt%)方面还需进一步提高。
发明内容
为解决现有技术中存在的问题,本发明提供了一种具有高球形度、高流动性及优异综合屏蔽性能的Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末及其制备方法。本发明提供的Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末在保证具有优异综合屏蔽性能的前提下,大幅度提高Fe基合金粉末的球形度和流动性,解决了上述背景技术中提到的技术问题。

S3、热处理:采用真空管式炉对所述雾化合金粉末进行热处理;
S4、球磨分散:采用行星球磨机对热处理后的粉末进行球磨分散。

无磁不锈钢球,按1:1球料比混合,在氩气气氛保护下进行球磨,球磨转速为50~300r/min,球磨时间为0.5~3h。
本发明的有益效果是:
a.粉末成分优势:通过气雾化法制粉,严格控制雾化炉内的氧分压, 避免W,B元素的氧化,保证了粉末的综合屏蔽性能。Cr元素的添加还可以提高合金粉末的平衡电极电位,有效提高粉末的耐蚀性能,使其可以适用于更多复杂的服役环境。
b.粉末表面形貌优势:由于Cr元素的添加,可降低雾化时金属熔体的熔点、导热系数及比热容等参数,减缓了熔体的凝固速率,延长其凝固时间。因此,合金熔滴可在其完全凝固前充分球化,形成高球形度的金属粉末。通过球磨对热处理过程中粘结的粉末进行分散,所得合金粉末的平均球形度可达87%以上,流动性优于17.0s/50g。
c.粉末微观结构优势:通过雾化和后续热处理,获得了弥散分布的硼化物相。通对Cr元素的调控,可在合金中获得FeWB、(Fe,Cr)WB、(Fe,Cr)W 2B 2这三种不同成分和结构的硼化相及其组合。硼化物相在粉末分布均匀弥散,尺寸可达亚微米甚至纳米尺寸,合金元素可达到高度均匀。因此,本发明提供发的所述Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末可具备优异的热中子和γ射线综合屏蔽性能。
d.应用优势:本发明的Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末由于其优异的流动性、球形度和综合屏蔽性能,可应用于核辐射屏蔽异形结构的填充领域和Fe基屏蔽体材料的修补领域。

c.粉末微观结构优势:粉末微观结构优势:本发明通过雾化和后续热处理,获得了弥散分布的硼化物相。通对Cr元素的调控,可在合金中获得FeWB、(Fe,Cr)WB、(Fe,Cr)W 2B 2这三种不同成分和结构的硼化相及其组合。硼化物相在粉末分布均匀弥散,尺寸可达亚微米甚至纳米尺寸,合金元素可达到高度均匀。因此,Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末可具备优异的热中子和γ射线综合屏蔽性能。
d.应用优势:本发明的Fe基球形屏蔽合金粉末由于其优异的流动性、球形度和综合屏蔽性能,可应用于核辐射屏蔽异形结构的填充领域和Fe基屏蔽体材料的修补领域。
