AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The use of traditional straightening machines for straightening cannot avoid microcracks on the surface of the fuel pipe for the time being. Although a non-pressure straightening technology has emerged abroad, it can achieve the technical index requirements of no microcracks on the surface of the fuel pipe. The technical indicators of no ellipse and no rebound of the fuel pipe are still not ideal
Existing straightening technology is still unable to meet the comprehensive requirements of fuel pipe surface technical indicators

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-precision straightening method for zirconium alloy tubes and belongs to the technical field of tube straightening. Currently, the wall thickness of zirconium alloy fuel tubes (Zr-4) used by nuclear power generation equipment is only 0.53 mm, the zirconium alloy fuel tubes (Zr-4) used by the nuclear power generation equipment are extremely-thin-wall tubes, because the fuel tubes need to work in a high-pressure water cooling environment and the content of hydrogen ions in the environment is high, if micro cracks happen to the surface of the fuel tubes, the hydrogen ions can be adsorbed to the micro-crack positions very easily, consequently, the 'fragile hydrogen' phenomenon is generated, and nuclear leak risks caused by the orientation indexes of hydride of the fuel tubes are increased. A straightening roller adopted for the straightening method guarantees that the zirconium alloy tubes reach the even-pressure state in a roller gap, in the straightening process of the zirconium alloy tubes, compared with the straightening force applied by a common anti-bending straightening roller, the evenly-distributed straightening force only accounts for 1 / 3.3 of the straightening force applied by the common anti-bending straightening roller, it is avoided that the zirconium alloy tubes are pressed to micro cracks in the straightening process, and the micro-crack-free straightening purpose is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipe straightening, in particular to a high-precision straightening method for zirconium alloy pipes. Background technique [0002] At present, the zirconium alloy fuel tube (Zr-4) used in nuclear power generation equipment has a wall thickness of only 0.53mm, which is an extremely thin-walled tube. Because the fuel tube needs to work in a high-pressure water-cooled environment, and the content of hydrogen ions in this environment is low Very high, if there are microcracks on the surface of the fuel pipe, hydrogen ions are easily adsorbed on the microcracks, resulting in "hydrogen embrittlement", which makes the hydride orientation of the fuel pipe exceed the standard, increasing the risk of nuclear leakage. [0003] The zirconium alloy fuel pipe needs to be straightened before it can be used, and the straightened fuel pipe needs to meet the surface technical specifications of no microcracks, no scratches...
