Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, boron carbide has a high covalent bond content and is extremely difficult to sinter. At present, the density and size control of pressureless sintered boron carbide ceramics is not precise, resulting in a low qualified rate of boron carbide ceramics. The waste of raw materials increases the manufacturing cost

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of density-controllable B10-rich boron carbide ceramic. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) drying B10-rich boron carbide powder; 2) weighing a certain amount of dried B10-rich boron carbide powder according to the designed density; 3) putting the weighed B10-rich boron carbide powder into a specially-made high-strength and high-density graphite mold cavity, heating the powder to 2100-2250 DEG C under a vacuum condition, and carrying out hot pressed sintering; and 4) performing pressurization after the pressure maintaining temperature is reached, wherien the pressure ranges from 10 MPa to 90 MPa and the heat preservation and pressure maintaining time ranges from 1 h to 2.5 h, and demolding the material after furnace coolingis conducted. The B10-rich boron carbide ceramic prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention solves the problem of low neutron absorption capacity; accurate control over the densityand the size of the boron carbide ceramic can be achieved through the hot-pressing mold by adopting the hot-pressing sintering process, the percent of pass of the boron carbide ceramic is increased, the machining and production cost is reduced, and the method is simple, effective and easy for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear industry ceramic materials, in particular to a method for preparing density-controllable B10-rich boron carbide ceramics. Background technique [0002] Boron carbide has a high neutron absorption cross-section, wide energy spectrum absorption, low density, ultra-high hardness and good chemical stability. It is an important neutron absorbing material and is widely used in nuclear reactor core components, such as control rods And shielding materials, etc., as an important component of the reactor core, boron carbide ceramics should have high neutron absorption capacity in addition to precise density and size control. [0003] However, boron carbide has a high covalent bond content and is extremely difficult to sinter. At present, the density and size control of pressureless sintered boron carbide ceramics is not precise, resulting in a low qualified rate of boron carbide ceramics. Cause the waste of raw mate...
