The invention discloses a
rare earth Er low-temperature modified amorphous
alumina hydrogen /
deuterium /
tritium resistant
coating and a preparation method thereof. The
coating comprises a
metal substrate and an Er low-temperature modified amorphous
alumina coating covering the
metal substrate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: pre-treating the
metal substrate; preparing Er modified amorphous
alumina sol containing an aluminum source and
erbium salt through a
sol-gel process; a coating prefabricated layer is formed on a substrate through a coating technology,
organic matter is removed through low-temperature heat treatment, and the coating is obtained. According to the coating, Er-O bonds and interface
hydrogen blocking traps are formed through
solid solution and nanocrystalline
precipitation of Er in an amorphous aluminum
oxide network, and the barrier property is remarkably improved. Experiments show that when the Er modification proportion is 10%, the
deuterium permeation barrier factor PRF of the coating reaches 2407, and the permeability of the coating is reduced by about three orders of magnitude compared with that of a stainless steel matrix. The method is simple in process, low in preparation temperature, excellent in
hydrogen resistance and suitable for the fields of nuclear energy, hydrogen energy and the like.
