Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for lead bismuth alloy used by a nuclear reactor. According to the method, in the high-purity argon atmosphere, high-purity lead and high-purity bismuth are used as raw materials, a complete mixing treatment process of lead powder and bismuth powder is adopted before melting, and a continuous electromagnetic stirring and a feeding process in batches are adopted in the smelting process, so as to ensure full mixing of main ingredients and process safety; a melting furnace and a casting mould are cleaned before use, so that the introduction of the impurities is reduced, and the purity of a target product is improved. Since the unique casting mold is adopted, the gravity segregation of the bismuth element is reduced, the uniformity of the bismuth content is ensured, and high-quality lead bismuth alloy can be prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal material processing, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a lead-bismuth alloy suitable for nuclear reactors. Background technique [0002] Lead-bismuth alloy is a metal alloy used as a liquid metal heat transfer agent in the cooling system of nuclear reactors. It is irradiated by neutrons in nuclear reactors and requires strict control of impurities, otherwise radioactive products are likely to be produced. It belongs to high-purity alloys. [0003] The research on the preparation of high-purity lead-bismuth alloys has been carried out at home and abroad, but they all stay at the laboratory scale or semi-industrial scale. The existing metallurgical technology for smelting this type of alloy has the following technical difficulties: inaccurate control of alloy composition, formation of high-melting point compounds, oxygen addition during alloy smelting, segregation of ingot component...
