Problems solved by technology

But the existing preparation Y 2 o 3 The strength of the crucible material is not ideal, and it is easy to crack when it is used in the smelting process of high-activity metals. The prepared high-activity metal materials are prone to hole defects, and the quality is difficult to guarantee, which affects the performance of the alloy. This has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

Embodiment 1

[0020] In this example, a Y 2 o 3 The preparation method of crucible comprises the steps:

[0021] a. Dry Y with a purity ≥ 99.9 2 o 3 The powder is pressed under 120Mpa to form a crucible biscuit;

Embodiment 2

[0030] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, especially in that:

[0031] In this example, a Y 2 o 3 The preparation method of crucible comprises the steps:

[0032] a. Dry Y with a purity ≥ 99.9 2 o 3 The powder is pressed under 100Mpa to form a crucible biscuit;

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of Y2O3 crucible and application in high-activity metal smelting. The Y2O3 crucible is prepared by pressing dried Y2O3 powder under 100-140 Mpa to be a crucible biscuit; and applying a solid phase sintering method. The high-activity alloy is smelted by a vacuum sensing furnace and the Y2O3 crucible prepared by the method; power is slowly increased during the smelting process, and Ar gas is back flushed in the smelting process; power is slowly reduced during the cooling process after smelting; thus shortcoming of hole formation caused by quick cooling of the high-activity alloy is avoided, and the crack of the Y2O3 crucible is avoided. After smelting, the alloy component is uniform, the crucible is complete; there is no obvious interface layer between the high-activity alloy and the crucible, and oxygen content in the high-activity alloy is low, and the high-activity alloy performance after being smelted is guaranteed; the technique can adjust corresponding technical parameter according to different alloy characteristics, and has excellent industrial application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a smelting vessel, in particular to a preparation method of a refractory crucible and its application in metal smelting, which is applied to the technical fields of weather-resistant materials for high-temperature smelting and non-ferrous metal zirconium alloy materials. Background technique [0002] In general, zirconium alloys can be divided into two categories: nuclear grade zirconium alloys and industrial grade zirconium alloys. In the nuclear industry, the thermal neutron absorption cross section of zirconium is small, and for neutrons at 2200m / s, the capture cross section of pure zirconium is only 0.18×10 -28 m 2 , which can ensure that there are enough thermal neutrons in the atomic energy reactor to maintain the normal operation of the reactor. Therefore, zirconium alloys are mainly used as cladding materials for nuclear fuel, structural materials for nuclear reactors, and shield...
