Forming method of iridium alloy sealing cladding

Abstract

The invention discloses a forming method of an iridium alloy sealing cladding. The forming method comprises the following steps: (1) rolling an iridium alloy plate; (2) preparing an iridium alloy wafer; and (3) spinning forming of the iridium alloy cladding: forming by adopting a hot spinning mode, and carrying out precision machining after forming to obtain the iridium alloy sealing cladding. In the hot rolling process of the iridium alloy plate, the stainless steel plate is coated on the basis of the traditional molybdenum plate coating process, so that volatilization of the molybdenum plate can be inhibited, the heat preservation effect of the alloy blank is improved, generation and expansion of cracks on the surface of the plate blank are prevented, and the yield of the iridium alloy plate is improved. A hot spinning method is adopted for cladding forming, the spinning temperature is increased, and the pass deformation amount is controlled, so that the problem that microcracks are easily generated due to stress concentration at the corners of the bottom of the cladding in the stamping process is solved, and the finished product rate of iridium alloy cladding forming is increased. According to the method, the problem of low yield of iridium alloy plate and cladding forming is solved, and the development process of a 238Pu isotope heat source can be effectively promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of isotope heat source, power supply and precious metal processing, and in particular relates to a forming method of an iridium alloy sealed cladding. Background technique [0002] Iridium alloy has the characteristics of high melting point, high temperature oxidation resistance and excellent high temperature mechanical properties, and is currently the only one suitable for hundreds of watts 238 PUO 2 Cladding material for isotopic heat sources. However, iridium is prone to brittle fracture during processing. Polycrystalline iridium cracks along grain boundaries during plastic deformation, is sensitive to strain rate, works hardened block, and has a high brittle-ductile transition temperature, so it cannot be plastically processed at room temperature. In order to improve the processing plasticity of iridium alloys, high temperature rolling is often used to reduce the work hardening and deformation resistan...
