Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, the tungsten / low activation steel joints with certain connection strength and plasticity have been obtained by using these four intermediate layers, but there are still shortcomings: the intermediate layer reacts with the base metal during the diffusion process to form a brittle reaction layer
The reaction layer is usually a hard and brittle phase, and the base material tungsten and low-activation steel also have high strength, so the thermal stress between the reaction layer and the base material is difficult to be released, and cracks are easy to initiate and propagate from here, which will reduce Joint connection strength and plasticity, especially will reduce the thermal fatigue resistance of the interface
In addition, during the post-weld heat treatment of the joints and the high-temperature operation of the fusion reactor, the thickness of the reaction layer will further increase, and the connection performance of the joints will further decrease

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of metal diffusion welding, and in particular relates to a diffusion connection method of tungsten and low-activation steel. The structure of vanadium (or titanium) / iron / low activation steel is combined, and vacuum hot pressing or hot isostatic pressing is used for diffusion bonding of the combination. The temperature of diffusion bonding is controlled at 700‑1000℃, and the time of diffusion bonding is controlled at 0.5‑4 Hour. The invention controls the brittle reaction layer between the soft intermediate layers, forming a hard / soft / hard / soft / hard interface structure, and the interface stress can be fully released through the plastic deformation or viscoplastic deformation of the soft intermediate layer. , which inhibits the initiation and propagation of cracks in the brittle tungsten and reactive layers, resulting in the as-prepared tungsten / low activation steel joints with high connection strength, good plasticity and excellent thermal fatigue resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metal diffusion welding, and in particular relates to a diffusion bonding method of tungsten and low-activation steel. Background technique [0002] The plasma-facing component is one of the most critical components in a thermonuclear fusion reactor. It directly faces the high-temperature plasma of hundreds of millions of degrees, and needs to withstand extremely high thermal load and high-energy fusion neutron irradiation, so it must have good Excellent thermal fatigue resistance and neutron radiation resistance. Plasma-facing components typically consist of a plasma-facing material and a structural material (or heat sink material). Tungsten and its alloys have the advantages of high melting point, high thermal conductivity, low vapor pressure, and low sputter corrosion rate, and are considered to be the most likely plasma-facing materials to be fully used in future tokamak fusion reactors; low-activation ferrite...
