The preparation method of the alloy: add the above-mentioned raw materials into the atmosphere-protected induction furnace, and use a silicon carbide crucible; induction heat to 350 degrees to form an alloy solution, and use the electromagnetic stirring effect to fully stir for about 10 minutes; put the alloy liquid in After standing at 350°C for 10 minutes, it is cast into the equipment at the same level as the hot top for semi-continuous casting into the required square and round ingots, and the ingot moves down at a speed of 12m/min. The ingot can be used as a casting raw material for pressure casting in the subsequent process to prepare complex-shaped lead-lithium alloy castings; the final heat treatment process of these castings is: vacuum solution treatment at 218 degrees for 2.6 hours; vacuum aging treatment at 135 degrees for 1.5 hours .
[0018] The lead-lithium alloy has excellent processing performance, and the cutting speed can be 2.4 times that of the lead alloy used for common shielding materials. And it has the advantages of good fluidity, excellent filling performance, small shrinkage cavity formation tendency, and low gas absorption of molten metal. It can produce thin-walled castings with high dimensional accuracy and low surface roughness. The wall thickness of die-casting parts can reach castings with a minimum wall thickness of 1mm, and small holes with a diameter of about 0.5mm can be cast. At room temperature, the tensile strength of the alloy reaches 326MPa. The tensile strength of the lead alloy used in traditional shielding materials at room temperature is 238 MPa respectively. At 150°C, the tensile strength of the material can be maintained at 228MPa within 10 hours, while the tensile strength of traditional lead alloys has been reduced to below 100MPa at this temperature. Used in nuclear reactors in tropical environments, medical radioactive source shielding, nuclear waste disposal and other fields, it can effectively ensure the safe operation of nuclear reactor systems and improve the operating life of the systems. The weight loss of the lead-lithium alloy due to volatilization and slag formation during the smelting process is about 1.5wt.%.
