Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of an enhanced magnesium alloy-based neutron absorbing plate, which belongs to the technical field of preparation and application of nonferrous metal alloys. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy is a non-ferrous light metal alloy with good shock absorption, machinability, and impact resistance. It is widely used in transportation, electronics, medical equipment, and aerospace industries; magnesium alloys are also used in the nuclear industry. In terms of application, the thermal neutron absorption interface of magnesium is small, only 1 / 4 of that of aluminum. Magnesium alloys have good heat resistance, surface heat flow resistance and γ-ray radiation resistance. 2 The compatibility limit temperature can reach 500 °C, and the UK has used magnesium alloys as cladding materials for natural uranium fuel in CO 2 Used in gas-cooled reactors.

[0004] Magnesium alloy-based neutron-absorbing plates were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing billets, heating extrusion, and heating rolling under the assistance of an electric field, B 4 C and B can be evenly distributed in the magnesium alloy matrix, which can avoid the agglomeration of particles. Under the electric field assisted vacuum hot pressing environment, it can effectively prevent the oxidation of the matrix alloy, purify the surface of the particles, and improve the interface bonding strength; the blank is heated After extrusion, the density of the material can be improved, the internal particles of the material can be rearranged, the particle agglomeration, pores and crack defects inside the material can be reduced, the mechanical properties of the material can be improved, and the edge cracking phenomenon of the neutron absorbing material during the rolling process can be reduced; The system can further reduce the internal defects of the material and obtain neutron-absorbing material plates of different sizes to meet the application in different protection fields of nuclear power. However, there are still many disadvantages in the preparation method, which needs further research
