Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the performance of the chromium protective coating prepared on the surface of the zirconium cladding tube at this stage is mostly not very ideal. A large number of large particles are produced during the coating process. These problems lead to the decline of the high temperature water vapor oxidation resistance of the chromium coating, which limits its application in reactors.

Abstract

The invention discloses an accident fault-tolerant zirconium cladding tube protective coating, a manufacturing method and an application thereof. The protective coating comprises a Cr layer, the Cr layer is a columnar crystal structure, and a grain size distributed in a direction vertical to a columnar crystal growth direction ranges from 200 nm to 300 nm. Preferably, a thickness of the Cr layer is 15 to 25mum. The Cr layer manufactured by the method is compact in internal structure, and the grain size is 200-300nm by regulating a high-power pulse magnetron sputtering voltage so that the coating has excellent high-temperature water vapor oxidation resistance performance. Good surface protection performance is provided for a zirconium cladding tube under a condition of accident fault tolerance and occurrence of the accidents is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surface protection, and in particular relates to an accident fault-tolerant zirconium cladding tube protective coating and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, more than 400 nuclear power plants have provided about 13% of the electricity for people around the world. However, after the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011, new requirements were put forward for the surface protection performance of zirconium alloys under accident fault-tolerant conditions. Surface coating technology, as a method that can directly and easily improve the performance of the substrate, can effectively reduce or avoid the zirconium-water reaction in the nuclear reactor under accident-tolerant conditions, thereby avoiding the occurrence of accidents. Due to the excellent thermal conductivity, machinability, high-temperature oxidation resistance and compatibility with...
