Problems solved by technology

Among them, ODS (Oxide Dispersion Strengthened) steel prepared by powder metallurgy (mechanical alloying) process has the best performance, but ODS steel also has some non-negligible defects.
During the mechanical alloying process, the powder is easily oxidized and polluted, and the reproducibility of the product is poor due to the complicated preparation process
A nuclear fusion demonstration reactor needs to use about 3,500 tons of low-activation materials. Due to the lack of large-scale production equipment, it is difficult to produce such a large-scale ODS steel by powder metallurgy. This shortcoming has also become a fatal flaw of ODS steel.
Composition-improved RAFM steel does not solve the problem of pure smelting of RAFM steel, and there are some large-sized inclusions in the steel, which deteriorate the mechanical properties of the experimental steel

[0038] The preparation of zirconium reinforced low activation martensitic steel of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0039] (1) Preparation of zirconium oxide strengthening phase

[0040] The raw materials Fe, Cr and W are loaded into a vacuum induction furnace, and the alloy material is melted under vacuum; the oxygen mass fraction (Xo 2 ) for measurement; according to the measurement results, add C to the steel for deoxidation, so that the oxygen in the alloy liquid can be removed to 100-180ppm; ; After all the alloys are melted, cast under nitrogen protection to obtain ingots containing zirconium oxide strengthening phase, and the nitrogen pressure in the furnace is controlled at 1000-2000Pa;

[0041] In this step, the purpose of measuring the oxygen mass fraction in molten steel is to estimate how much oxygen needs to be removed, and carbon deoxidation is used because C+O 2 =CO 2 generated CO 2 The gas can be released directly without polluting the...

Abstract

The invention discloses zirconium-reinforced low-activation martensitic steel and a preparation method thereof. The zirconium-reinforced low-activation martensitic steel comprises, by mass, 0.01%-0.02% of C, 0.01%-0.05% of Si, 0.3%-0.5% of Mn, 8.0%-9.0% of Cr, 1.0%-1.5% of W, 0.2%-0.3% of V, 0.01%-0.03% of Zr, 0.01%-0.02% of N, 0.01%-0.02% of O, and the balance Fe. During preparation, Fe, Cr and Ware melted in a vacuum induction furnace; then, C is added for deoxidization; then, Zr, Mn, Si, V and C are added in sequence, and after all alloys are melted down, casting is performed under nitrogen protection to obtain a cast ingot; the cast ingot is subjected to component uniformity adjustment and then machined into a rolling billet; and the rolling billet is rolled, slow cooling is performedafter rolling is completed, and then quenching and tempering are performed to obtain the zirconium-reinforced low-activation martensitic steel. According to the method, by adding zirconium instead ofTa for reinforcement, an oxide zirconium reinforcing phase and nano-scale zirconium carbide can be formed, and the use performance of the steel is improved.
