Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a metal material, in particular to a method for preparing a zirconium-niobium alloy. Background technique [0002] Zirconium niobium alloy has been widely used in the chemical industry and nuclear industry to prepare key components such as pressure pipes and pressure vessels due to its excellent corrosion resistance, stable radiation resistance, high strength, and low density. The main microstructures of zirconium-niobium alloys are α-single-phase martensitic microstructure, equiaxed microstructure, basket-like microstructure and double-state microstructure. [0003] The α-single-phase martensite structure is obtained by the martensitic transformation of the zirconium-niobium alloy in the β-phase quenching. It is characterized by a large α grain. poor. [0004] The basket-like structure is the basic structure of zirconium-niobium alloy, which is obtained by annealing the α+β phase region after β-phase q...
