Problems solved by technology

At present, the smelting of RAFM steel usually adopts vacuum smelting plus Al or Ce deoxidation to control the oxidation and burning loss of Ta elements. However, Al and Ce are easily activated elements and will remain in the molten steel, resulting in the occurrence of easily activated impurity elements in RAFM steel. increase and decrease the low activation characteristics of the material

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of anti-irradiation low activation steel strengthened by a nano-precipitation phase, and belongs to the technical field of nuclear power steel. The methodcomprises the following steps of: firstly preparing a FeTaC intermediate alloy, and then preparing and obtaining the steel by a smelting process, a forging process, a rolling process and a heat treatment process sequentially. In the invention, a pure metal Ta is replaced by preparing the FeTaC intermediate alloy so as to avoid the burning loss of the steel caused by the high oxidation activity ofthe Ta metal during the smelting process; the burning loss of the Ta element is suppressed by the high temperature carbon deoxidation technology during the smelting process, and the Ta yield and reach more than 90%; the ultra-fine martensitic steel with excellent high-temperature creep performance and anti-neutron irradiation performance is obtained by optimizing the rolling process and promotingthe high-density uniform dispersion of the nano-precipitation phase to produce strengthening and refining grain action. The creep duration of the anti-irradiation low activation steel under the loading condition of 550 DEG C and 195MPa exceeds 5,000h.
