Problems solved by technology

However, under the conditions of a reactor loss of water accident, the zirconium alloy reacts violently with high-temperature water vapor to generate a large amount of hydrogen and release heat, which may cause a "hydrogen explosion" and cause a major accident in a nuclear power plant, causing a great negative impact on society and the environment

Abstract

The invention discloses a multilayer composite coating of a zirconium alloy cladding surface, and a preparation method thereof. According to the method, a multi-arc ion plating technology is adopted,and zirconium alloy materials are used as a base; high purity nitrogen is used as reaction gas, and high purity argon is used as protective gas; the vacuum degree, arc current, temperature, depositiontime, gas flow and other parameters of a vacuum chamber are regulated; and a three-layer composite coating, using Cr as a transition layer, a CrTiSiN as a working coating and Cr as a protective coating, are formed on the surface of the zirconium alloy materials through deposition. The coating is uniform and compact, and the binding force between the coating and the zirconium alloy base is strong;the cladding integrity is ensured, and generation of hydrogen is inhibited; and hydrogen explosion is avoided. The coating is extremely high in hardness, and the friction resistance of zirconium alloy can be improved effectively; the a cladding pipe is prevented from being failed due to fretting wear, and the safety and accident tolerance of a reactor are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of high temperature protective coatings. Specifically, the invention relates to a high-temperature water vapor oxidation-resistant, high-hardness and friction-resistant multilayer composite coating on the surface of a zirconium alloy cladding and a preparation method thereof, which are applied in the field of nuclear power. Background technique [0002] Zirconium alloy cladding, as the first barrier to the radioactivity of the reactor core, has a series of advantages such as low neutron absorption cross section, high temperature water corrosion resistance, good heat transfer performance, good mechanical properties and radiation resistance, and is called For "the first metal of the atomic age". However, under the conditions of a reactor loss of water accident, the zirconium alloy reacts violently with high-temperature water vapor to generate a large amount of hydrogen and release heat, which may cause a "hydrogen expl...
