Example Embodiment

[0013] Example 1

[0014] The devices used in this embodiment include a hydrogenation furnace, a planetary ball mill, a muffle furnace, a quartz tube vacuum sealing device, a low-oxygen glove box, and the like.

[0015] First, the U-2Mo alloy rod is vacuum annealed at 800°C for 2 hours. Grind the surface with metallographic sandpaper, remove the surface oxide film with dilute nitric acid, wash with absolute ethanol, quickly place it in a hydrogenation furnace, and store it in a vacuum. The hydrogenation furnace was heated to 60° C., and 0.2 MPa high-purity hydrogen was charged for hydrogenation. The hydrogenation holding time was 2 hours. Then vacuumize to 100Pa, continue to heat up to 350°C, keep it for 1 hour to dehydrogenate the uranium hydride. After dehydrogenation, when the temperature is lowered to 60°C, 0.2MPa high-purity hydrogen is introduced for hydrogenation, and the hydrogenation holding time is 2 hours. After the hydrogenation is completed, the sample is cooled with ...

Example Embodiment

[0017] Example 2

[0018] This embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1, except that the U-7Mo alloy rod is vacuum annealed at 900° C. for 4 hours. Grind with metallographic sandpaper, remove the oxide film on the surface with dilute nitric acid, wash with absolute ethanol, quickly place in a hydrogenation furnace, and store in a vacuum. The hydrogenation furnace was heated to 150°C, and 0.3MPa high-purity hydrogen was charged for hydrogenation. The hydrogenation holding time was 4 hours. Then evacuated to 60 Pa, continue to heat up to 450 ℃, keep for 2.5 hours to dehydrogenate the uranium hydride. After dehydrogenation, when the temperature is lowered to 160° C., 0.3 MPa high-purity hydrogen is introduced for hydrogenation, and the hydrogenation holding time is 4 hours. After the hydrogenation is completed, the sample is cooled with the furnace to obtain layered and granular uranium hydride-molybdenum biphasic products. Use star-shaped ball mill, agate tank and tungsten ball to mak...

Example Embodiment

[0020] Example 3

[0021] This embodiment is the same as embodiment 1, except that the U-10Mo alloy rod is vacuum annealed at 1000° C. for 6 hours. Grind with metallographic sandpaper, remove the oxide film on the surface with dilute nitric acid, wash with absolute ethanol, quickly place in a hydrogenation furnace, and store in a vacuum. The hydrogenation furnace was heated to 250°C, and 0.4MPa high-purity hydrogen was charged for hydrogenation. The hydrogenation holding time was 6 hours. Then evacuated to 30 Pa, continued to heat up to 550°C, and kept for 4 hours to dehydrogenate the uranium hydride. After dehydrogenation, when the temperature is lowered to 250°C, 0.4MPa high-purity hydrogen is introduced for hydrogenation, and the hydrogenation holding time is 6 hours. After the hydrogenation is completed, the sample is cooled with the furnace to obtain layered and granular uranium hydride-molybdenum biphasic products. Use star-shaped ball mill, agate tank and tungsten ball to m...

Abstract

The invention relates to the processing for gamma U-Mo alloy power that annealing the U-(2-10)%Mo alloy bar in 800-1000deg.C for 2-6 hours in vacuum conditions, surface grinding, acid cleaning and drying, hydrogenization in 60-250deg.C, under 0. 2-0. 4MPaH2 pressure for 2-6 hours, then vacuum dehydrogenation in 350-550deg.C, under pressure no more than 100Pa for 1-4 hours, then hydrogenization in 60-250deg.C, under 0. 2-0. 4MPaH2 pressure for 2-6 hours, ball grinding, screening, sealing in the quartz tube, solutionizing and water quenching. The process only needs one time hydrogenization, dehydrogenization, simple, reliable, highly efficient, low impurity level, stable and pure, with grain size being 40-140mum.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of a crystal metal alloy, in particular to a preparation process of γ-phase U-Mo alloy powder. Background technique [0002] The main goal of the International Research Test Reactor Fuel Low-enriched Uranium (RERTR) program is to develop low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel with a 235U enrichment of no more than 20% for research test reactors. Replace the highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuel currently in use. So far, nearly 40 research test reactors around the world have been converted to LEU fuel. (U-Mo)-Al dispersed fuel has the advantages of high uranium density, good radiation stability, and easy post-processing, so it has become an important research object in the world. China will also gradually transition from the current U3Si2-Al dispersed fuel to the use of (U-Mo)-Al dispersed fuel. [0003] U-Mo alloy powder is the material basis and key to prepare (U-Mo)-Al dispersed fue...
