Abstract

The invention discloses a Fe-Cr-Al alloy for nuclear reactor fuel element cladding material and a preparation method thereof. The chemical composition of the Fe-Cr-Al alloy is calculated by weight percentage: Cr: 10-26%; Al: 3-10%; Mo: 1-5.5%; Nb: 0.01-5.5%; the balance is Fe and impurities . Nb element is added to the Fe-Cr-Al alloy of the present invention, and the Fe-Cr-Al alloy shows excellent corrosion resistance in the simulated nuclear reactor conventional corrosion environment, and also shows excellent corrosion resistance in the simulated LOCA working condition high-temperature steam oxidation environment. Oxidation resistance, its corrosion resistance / oxidation resistance is significantly better than that of Zr‑1Nb alloys, and it has better accident tolerance than zirconium alloys. It is used as nuclear fuel element cladding materials and nuclear fuel element composite cladding materials in nuclear power plant pressurized water reactors And core structural materials such as spacer grid strips.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an Fe-Cr-Al alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-temperature-resistant steam oxidation Fe-Cr-Al alloy and a preparation method thereof, which are applied in the technical field of nuclear fuel element materials. Background technique [0002] Zirconium alloys, as cladding materials for traditional nuclear fuel elements, exhibit a series of excellent properties. However, in 2011, a dehydration accident occurred in Fukushima, Japan. The Zr alloy cladding swelled and ruptured in a high-temperature environment, and Zr reacted violently with high-temperature water vapor, releasing a large amount of heat and explosive gas H. 2 , resulting in a reactor accident. Zr alloy cladding materials are exposed to insufficient oxidation resistance and mechanical properties in high temperature environments greater than 800 ° C. Therefore, a solution is proposed to develop accident tolerant fuel (Accident Tolerant Fuel,...
