Problems solved by technology

However, the existing pure tungsten materials still have the following performance defects, mainly including the excessively high Ductile-Brittle Transition Temperature (DBTT), which is as high as about 400°C; the lower recrystallization temperature, Its recrystallization temperature is about 1200°C; and the self-sputtering rate increases sharply under high-energy irradiation, especially under the action of fusion high-temperature plasma irradiation, tungsten will appear irradiation embrittlement, form a nano-porous layer on the surface, and tritium retention a sharp rise in volume
The performance defects of the above pure tungsten materials seriously limit its application in nuclear fusion reactors

Abstract

The invention discloses layered toughening tungsten and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the field of structural materials. The layered toughening tungsten comprises a tungsten layer and a toughening layer which are mutually cascaded mutually; the toughening layer comprises a metal tantalum sheet. The preparation method for the layered toughening tungsten comprises the following steps of S1 mechanically grinding the tungsten powder under protection of inert gases; S2 alternately stacking the tungsten powder and the metal tantalum sheet to obtain a sintering body; S3 performing spark plasma sintering on the sintering body under the protection of the inert gases, wherein the sintering process is divided into three stages, heat preservation is performed at the first stage under the condition that the temperature is from 600 DEG C to 800 DEG C and the pressure is from 5KN to 10 KN; heat preservation is performed at the second stage under the condition that the temperature is from 1100 DEG C to 1300 DEG C and the pressure is from 12 KN to 20 KN; heat preservation is performed under the condition that the temperature is from 1600 DEG C to 1800 DEG C and the pressure is from 30 KN to 35 KN. Compared with pure tungsten, the layered tungsten prepared by the preparation method improves the toughness by 50%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of structural materials, and in particular relates to a layered toughened tungsten and a preparation method thereof, which is especially suitable for the first wall structure of a fusion reactor. Background technique [0002] Plasma Facing Materials (PFMs) is a very important material in nuclear fusion reactors. It is related to the stability of the plasma in the reactor, and it is also related to the first wall structural materials and components from plasma bombardment. The problem of damage. Its main functions include: ① Effectively prevent impurities entering the plasma; ② Effectively transfer heat radiated to the surface of the material; ③ Prevent other components from being damaged by plasma bombardment during abnormal shutdown. Therefore, the general requirements for plasma-facing materials are high temperature resistance, low sputtering, low tritium retention, and compatibility with structural materials. [...
