Abstract

The invention relates to gadolinium oxide ceramics and a method for manufacturing the same. The gadolinium oxide ceramics comprise, by weight, 95-99.5 parts of gadolinium oxide powder and 0.5-5 parts of yttrium aluminum garnet or 95-99.5 parts of gadolinium oxide powder and 0.5-5 parts of titanium dioxide or 95-99.5 parts of gadolinium oxide powder and 0.5-5 parts of aluminum oxide. The method includes proportioning materials, mixing the materials with one another by means of ball-milling to obtain mixtures, and drying the mixtures in vacuum environments; adding adhesive into the mixtures, carrying out pre-press molding under the pressures of 15-30MPa, and carrying out isostatic-press molding under the pressures of 100-180MPa to obtain molded blanks; drying the blanks, heating the blanks until the temperatures of the blanks reach 1400-1650 DEG C, sintering the blanks in oxidizing atmosphere under heat-insulation conditions and cooling the blanks to obtain the gadolinium oxide ceramics. Water ethanol is used as a medium when the materials are mixed with one another, and zirconia ball stone is used as a grinding medium when the materials are mixed with one another. The gadolinium oxide ceramics and the method have the advantages that the gadolinium oxide ceramics are high in relative density, gadolinium content and neutron absorption capacity, and the problem of easiness in pulverization of existing gadolinium oxide ceramics due to the fact that the existing gadolinium oxide ceramics are soaked in hot water for a long time can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gadolinium oxide ceramic and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a preparation method of pressureless sintering dense gadolinium oxide ceramics in an oxidizing atmosphere, and belongs to the technical field of nuclear industry protective materials. Background technique [0002] In nuclear reactor core assemblies, neutron absorbing materials are important functional components next to fuel components. Commonly used absorbent materials include B 4 C. Boron steel, Ag-In-Cd alloy, etc. Among them, the application proportion of boron materials such as boron carbide and boron steel is very large. However, due to 10 B undergoes (n,α) reaction, and boron-containing materials produce helium gas when irradiated, forming helium bubbles, causing expansion, leading to material failure, and limiting the application of boron-containing materials. [0003] The absorption cross sections of many rare earth elements for thermal ne...
