[0031] Embodiment 1: Preparation of Zr-Cu-Fe-Al-Sn-Nb series amorphous alloy

[0032] The chemical composition of the zirconium-based alloy is Zr in atomic percent 61.5 Cu 21.5-x Fe 5 Al 11 sn 1 Nb x , x=0, 1, 2, the above formula is used for batching. Among them, Zr has a purity of 99.9wt%, Cu has a purity of 99.98wt%, Fe has a purity of 99.9wt%, Al has a purity of 99.99wt%, Sn has a purity of 99.99wt%, and Nb has a purity of 99.9wt%. The vacuum degree is 1×10 -3 The above master alloys were prepared in an electric arc furnace / water-cooled copper crucible in Pa; the melting atmosphere was high-purity argon (99.999%) that had undergone titanium melting and oxygen consumption, and each alloy ingot was repeatedly smelted 4 times to ensure uniform alloy composition.

[0033] The master alloy ingot was remelted in a vacuum electric arc furnace, and the vacuum degree was set to 1×10 -3 Pa. After it is completely melted, the above-mentioned compositional alloys are quickly ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy containing Sn and Nb, and a preparation method and an application thereof, and especially relates to a Zr61.5Cu19.5Fe5Al11Sn1Nb2 bulk amorphous alloy having the advantages of good plasticity, Ar ion irradiation resistance and H2SO4 corrosion resistance, its preparation method, and its application in the nuclear power station fuel assembly field. The alloy has a full amorphous structure, has a largest compressive stress sigmamax of above 2500MPa and has a compressive plasticity of above 15%. According to the invention, the partial substitution of a fuel assembly high-Zr alloy widely used at present by the amorphous alloy having a lower Zr content is of great significance to the saving of a badly-need material Zr; the preparation method has the advantages of easy process control and low comprehensive cost; and the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy has the advantages of good plasticity, Ar ion resistance and H2SO4 resistance, so the Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy is likely to be a substitution material for a nuclear power station fuel cladding material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an amorphous alloy, in particular to an alloy with good plasticity, resistance to Ar ion irradiation and resistance to H 2 SO 4 Corroded Zr 61.5 Cu 19.5 Fe 5 al 11 sn 1 Nb 2 Bulk amorphous alloys, preparation methods and their application in nuclear power plant fuel assemblies. Background technique [0002] Since the early 1990s, led by Japan and the United States, a series of alloy components with strong amorphous forming ability have been developed. Among them, the critical cooling rate of zirconium-based amorphous alloys is as low as 1K / s, and it is easy to use copper Die casting and water quenching are used to prepare three-dimensional bulk materials. It has been confirmed that the fracture behavior of bulk amorphous crystals is closely related to shear bands, and the formation of shear bands is highly localized. It is generally believed that the viscosity reduction at certain inhomogeneities in metallic glasses is...
