Problems solved by technology

[0007] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the production of aluminum-based boron carbide neutron absorbing plates in the prior art requires high-temperature sintering by hot isostatic pressing, which consumes a lot of energy and produces many defects in the blank, and is based on the production of large-sized For the purpose of the plate, the existing technology will roll the sintered green body, so that the defects in the material will be further increased; and then a method for preparing a large-size aluminum-based boron carbide neutron absorbing plate with fewer material defects is proposed

Abstract

A disclosed preparation method for a large-dimension B4C-Al neutron absorption plate comprises: 1) crushing boron carbide powder, aluminium powder and silicon powder and mixing uniformly, so as to obtain a mixed powder with the particle size of 3.5-63 mu m; 2) putting the mixed powder into a can, vacuumizing at 200-350 DEG C, sealing, and then performing heat isostatic pressing processing on the sealed can under the conditions that the pressure is 80-150 MPa, the temperature is 400-600 DEG C and the time is 20 min; 3) removing the can at the outer side of the blank material, performing multiple times of rolling at 450-600 DEG C, controlling the deformation amount of each time rolling to be 10-20%, so as to obtain a plate with the needed thickness; and 4) processing the plate. The invention also discloses the dimension of the B4C-Al neutron absorption plate obtained by using the above method. The prepared B4C-Al neutron absorption plate is applicable to nuclear industry fields such as nuclear reactors, nuclear power stations and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a large size B 4 A preparation method of a C-Al neutron absorbing plate and a large-sized neutron absorbing plate prepared by the method belong to the technical field of neutron absorbing materials. Background technique [0002] Nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities need to store and use highly radioactive fuel and spent fuel. The radioactive neutrons in the fuel can easily cause harm to surrounding animals, plants and humans. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally develop and use nuclear energy under the premise of protecting the surrounding ecological environment. A common protective measure is to set up neutron-absorbing materials capable of capturing neutrons around nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities to prevent neutrons from radiating outward. Commonly used neutron absorbing materials include lead-boron polyethylene, boron-containing polypropylene, cadmium plate, boron steel, boron carbide and aluminum-bas...
