Problems solved by technology

In nuclear reactors, the working conditions of the zirconium alloy cladding tube are very harsh, not only need to withstand high temperature, high pressure and strong neutron irradiation, but also require high boron water corrosion resistance, stress corrosion, etc., with time, the mechanical properties Changes occur, strength increases, ductility decreases, and becomes brittle, so it needs to be replaced every 12 months, which is a high-consumable product

The preparation method is characterized in that cold rolling total deformation is controlled within the range of 10% to 50%, the cold rolling feeding amount is controlled within the range of 0.5 to 2, the rolling pass is controlled within the range of 3 to 15, the rotation speed is controlled within the range of 15 r / min to 60 r / min, the annealing temperature ranges from 700 DEG C to 1,100 DEG C, and heat preservation is conducted for 20-60 min. The method has the characteristics of being simple in technology, high in production flexibility and lowin cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation process of FeCrAl alloy pipe material for nuclear fuel. Background technique [0002] In nuclear power design, the first line of defense for nuclear safety is the cladding material of nuclear fuel → cladding tube. Its function is to coat the fuel core to prevent the release of fission products into the coolant. It cannot be damaged to cause radioactive spillage, and is currently made of zirconium alloy precision cold-rolled tubes. In nuclear reactors, the working conditions of the zirconium alloy cladding tube are very harsh, not only need to withstand high temperature, high pressure and strong neutron irradiation, but also require high boron water corrosion resistance, stress corrosion, etc., with time, the mechanical properties Changes occur, the strength increases, the ductility decreases, and it becomes brittle, so it needs to be replaced every 12 months, which is a high-consumable product. The FeCrAl alloy ...
