Problems solved by technology

However, the fatal disadvantage of general graphite materials is that graphite spheres with a relatively high degree of graphitization have high wear and poor hygroscopicity due to high porosity, which cannot meet the requirements of the shutdown system.
However, the coating methods such as impregnated resin cannot meet the requirements of high temperature resistance and wear resistance at the same time.
The surface of ordinary graphite balls is generally porous, and the open porosity is usually more than 10%, including the preparation process of graphite balls described in the publication number "101290814" and the name "A Method for Preparing Graphite Absorbing Balls Containing Boron Carbide" In the middle, the surface of the material is not specially treated, and the wear resistance and moisture resistance of the material are poor at this time.
The existing surface treatment of graphite balls is generally liquid-phase impregnation, which requires subsequent curing and carbonization, and the resulting surface coating is not dense and has low performance

Abstract

The invention provides a boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball and a preparation process thereof. The boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball consists of a main structure and a carbon coating attached to the surface of the main structure, wherein the main structure is boron-carbide-containing graphite which comprises the flowing components in percentage by mass: 5-50% of boron carbide and 50-95% of graphite or carbon. Coke powder is added to the formula of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball, therefore the strength of the product is improved. In the press forming process of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball, a continuous press is used for pressing and forming a ball-shaped product directly, equipment is simple, the degree of automation is high, and labor cost is low; in addition, since a coating is attached to the surface of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball disclosed by the invention, the surface porosity is reduced by more than 50%; since no coating is attached to surface of the traditional common boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball, the surface porosity is higher. The coating of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball provided by the invention is prepared by a chemical vapor deposition technology, has good combinability with the main structure and high carbon element content being more than 99.99999% and almost does not contain other impurity elements; the anti-moisture absorption property of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball provided by the invention is improved about 10-100 times higher than that of the traditional common boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball; and the wear resistance of the boron-carbide-containing graphite absorber ball provided by the invention is improved by about 2-10 times.
