Problems solved by technology

And the significant deficiency of these technologies includes: (1) economic benefit is low, it is difficult to meet the needs of industrialized large-scale production, that is, to prepare such a length and amount of Cr-coated zirconium alloy cladding tubes in a short time; (2) it is almost impossible to Preparation of Chromium Coating on the Inner Surface of Alloy Cladding
It can be seen that the existing preparation technology is difficult to meet the preparation of practical commercial Cr-coated zirconium alloy fuel cladding.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a zirconium alloy material with a chromium coating and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of degreasing, picklingto remove a surface hardened layer, activating to remove an oxidation film and the like; or adding a nickel transition layer; and finally preparing the chromium coating on the inner and outer surfaces of a zirconium alloy sheet or pipe (particularly used for manufacturing a nuclear reactor fuel cladding pipe with a high length-diameter ratio) by controlling electroplating parameters. The requirement for long-size and large-scale industrial production can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation of nuclear reactor core structural parts, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of a zirconium alloy material with a chromium coating. Background technique [0002] Due to its low thermal neutron absorption cross-section, good thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and radiation resistance, zirconium alloys have been and will continue to be widely used in water-cooled nuclear reactors, such as fuel cladding tubes, pressure tubes, The service conditions of brackets and tunnel pipes are very harsh. For example, the zirconium alloy used as the fuel cladding must not only withstand high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive aqueous solution, but also be irradiated by neutrons, fission products, α, β, γ and other high-energy particles. Oxidation corrosion under irradiation conditions is the main factor for the failure of zirconium fuel cladding, and it...
