Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, due to the addition of transition metals Fe, Cr, and Ni to these Zr-Sn-Nb alloys, Zr 2 (Fe,Ni)Zintl phase, Zr(Cr,Fe) 2 Laves phase, and Nb-containing (ZrNb) 3 , Fe(ZrNb) 2 , FeZr(FeNb) 2 , (ZrNb) 3 Fe and other brittle phases, the second phase of these intermetallic compounds reduces the plasticity of the material, and the second phase particles containing transition metals will dissolve into the matrix after neutron irradiation, thereby changing the density and size of the second phase , reducing the corrosion resistance of the alloy
In addition, impurity elements such as oxygen and carbon introduced during the preparation of zirconium alloys also have an adverse effect on the properties of the material

Abstract

The invention provides a Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy bar. The Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy bar comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.8%-1.2% of Sn, 0.2%-0.4% of Nb, 0.8%-1.6% of Hf and the balance of Zr and inevitable impurities. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing the Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy bar. The method comprises the following steps: 1, a Sn-Nb-Hf intermediate alloy is manufactured through vacuum non-consumable arc melting; 2, the Sn-Nb-Hf intermediate alloy is broken and is uniformly mixed with sponge Zr, and then the mixture is compacted into an electrode; 3, an ingot casting is obtained through vacuum consumable arc melting; 4, a semi-product bar blank is obtained through hot extrusion; and 5, the Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy bar is obtained through hot extrusion. The Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy bar has excellent room-temperature and high-temperature strength and good plasticity, and can be used as a structure material under a next-generation high-burnup condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, and in particular relates to a Zr-Sn-Nb-Hf alloy rod and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Zirconium alloys have been widely used in nuclear reactors due to their low neutron absorption cross section, excellent in-reactor corrosion performance, good processability and mechanical properties. Nuclear fuel element cladding zirconium alloy is one of the key core materials of nuclear power reactors. The advancement, safety, reliability and economy of nuclear power are closely related to the performance of the cladding materials used. In the past few decades, the performance of zirconium alloy for PWR fuel element cladding in the reactor is satisfactory. However, with the development of nuclear power reactor technology in the direction of increasing fuel burnup and reducing fuel cycle costs, increasing reactor thermal efficiency, and improving safety and reliability, ...
