Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of superconducting phase preparation process optimization, and relates to a method for quickly realizing bronzeization of Nb3Sn superconducting wire based on electric pulse processing. Background Art

[0002] The Nb3Sn superconducting wire produced by the internal tin method has an extremely high critical current density, up to 3000A / mm 2 Therefore, the internal tin method has become the preferred way to commercially prepare Nb3Sn wire. The process flow of the internal tin method can be divided into two stages. The first stage is the preparation stage of Nb3Sn wire precursor: the Cu tube, Nb rod and Sn rod are assembled and bundled to obtain Cu / Sn / Nb billet. The second stage is the long-range phase heat treatment stage of Nb3Sn wire precursor: the Nb3Sn precursor first undergoes a Cu-Sn chemical reaction at medium and low temperature (185℃~445℃) for more than 100 hours to generate the Cu-Sn compound Cu6Sn5 required for Nb3Sn phase formation, completing the bronze heat treatment stage; finally, at a higher reaction temperature (600℃~750℃), the Cu6Sn5 generated in the medium and low temperature stage reacts with the Nb rod for more than 50 hours to generate Nb3Sn with superconducting properties, completing the Nb3Sn phase heat treatment. Therefore, the key to achieving Nb3Sn phase formation and improving Nb3Sn superconducting properties is to perform bronze heat treatment on Nb3Sn wire precursor, generate Cu6Sn5 and increase its content. However, the total bronze heat treatment time of Nb3Sn wire precursor can reach more than 100 hours, which makes the phase formation of Nb3Sn wire precursor have the limitations of long time and low efficiency. In addition, the long-range bronze heat treatment also makes the Cu-Sn chemical reaction process difficult to control, resulting in the Cu-Sn phase formation process with defects such as uncontrollable product phase composition, easy generation of harmful phases, and large grain size of the organization, which reduces the Cu6Sn5 content, affects the subsequent Nb3Sn phase formation ability, and weakens the superconducting properties of the finished wire.

[0003] Electric pulse treatment has the characteristics of rapid temperature rise and fall. Through this treatment, a large amount of Joule heat and electron wind effect generated by pulse current can be applied to the metal to achieve the regulation of the type, morphology and size of the ordered phase. Introducing a pulsed electric field during the bronze heat treatment of the Nb3Sn wire precursor can accelerate the diffusion of elements in the Cu-Sn system. The pulse energy can achieve the regulation of the Cu6Sn5 phase content through element distribution, promote the nucleation of Cu6Sn5, increase the thickness of the Cu6Sn5 diffusion layer, and provide sufficient reaction sources for the subsequent Nb3Sn phase formation. Therefore, accelerating the bronze heat treatment time by electric pulses plays an important role in improving the preparation efficiency of Nb3Sn wire, regulating the microstructure morphology of the bronze stage, and preparing high-current-carrying Nb3Sn wire superconductors. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for quickly realizing bronze treatment of Nb3Sn superconducting wire based on electric pulse treatment, which solves the problem of long phase heat treatment time in the existing internal tin method for preparing Nb3Sn wire.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a method for quickly realizing bronze treatment of Nb3Sn superconducting wire based on electric pulse treatment, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1, preparing Nb3Sn precursor wire by internal tin method; Step 2, subjecting the Nb3Sn precursor wire prepared in step 1 to an electric pulse treatment to obtain a wire sample after the electric pulse treatment; Step 3, heat-treating the electric pulse sample obtained in step 2 in a vacuum atmosphere heat treatment furnace to obtain a Nb3Sn wire after bronze heat treatment.

[0006] The present invention is also characterized in that: The specific process of step 1 is: Step 1.1, a circular hole A and four circular holes B are respectively opened along the axial direction of the copper rod, wherein the circular hole A is located at the center of the copper rod, and the four circular holes B are evenly distributed around the circular hole A; Step 1.2, pickling the copper rod, and then ultrasonically cleaning the niobium rod, the tin rod and the pickled copper rod together and then drying; Step 1.3, placing the dried tin rod into the circular hole A, and placing four dried niobium rods into four circular holes B respectively, to obtain a Cu / Sn / Nb assembly; Step 1.4, use a cold drawing machine to perform a multi-pass drawing process, so that the overall deformation of the Cu / Sn / Nb assembly reaches 80%-85%, that is, the Nb3Sn precursor wire is obtained.

[0007] In step 1.2, the outer diameter of the copper rod is 30-50 mm; the diameter of the tin rod is 12-20 mm; and the diameter of the niobium rod is 5-10 mm.

[0008] In step 1.2, the ultrasonic cleaning time is 10 to 15 minutes.

[0009] In step 1.4, the diameter deformation in each pass is 0.5-1mm.

[0010] The specific process of step 2 is: a sample with a length of 80 mm is cut from the middle part of the Nb3Sn precursor wire produced in step 1, and clamped on an electric pulse device for electric pulse.

[0011] In step 2, the parameters of the electric pulse treatment are: pulse voltage 50-60V, pulse frequency 350-400Hz, and pulse time 50-60s.

[0012] The specific process of step 3 is: maintain the heating rate of the vacuum atmosphere heat treatment furnace at 5-10℃ / min in the heating stage, so that the heat treatment temperature is raised from room temperature to 190℃-215℃, and keep it at this temperature for 50h; then heat it to 405℃-420℃, keep it at this temperature for 25h, and cool the furnace.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the present invention provides a new process for the heat treatment of Nb3Sn wire phase formation by the internal tin method - electric pulse-short-time bronze heat treatment process. On the one hand, the electric pulse has the characteristics of rapid temperature rise and fall, and can perform bronze heat treatment on the Nb3Sn wire precursor in a short time, saving heat treatment time and improving the preparation efficiency of Nb3Sn superconducting wire. On the other hand, the pulse current can generate extremely high Joule heat and electric wind effect in a very short time, accelerate the diffusion of elements in the Cu-Sn system, promote the nucleation of Cu6Sn5, increase the thickness of the Cu6Sn5 diffusion layer, and provide sufficient reaction sources for the subsequent Nb3Sn phase formation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following is a detailed description in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0016] The present invention provides a method for rapidly bronzeizing Nb3Sn superconducting wire based on electric pulse treatment, which is specifically carried out in the following steps: Step 1: pre-treat the raw materials: pickling, ultrasonic cleaning. Dry and assemble the pre-treated samples, and perform multiple drawing on the assembly to obtain internal tin method Nb3Sn wire with suitable size and uniform structure; In step 1, the outer diameter of the copper rod is 30-50mm and the height is 150-200mm; the diameter of the niobium rod is 5-10mm and the height is 150-200mm; the diameter of the tin rod is 12-20mm and the height is 150-200mm. The copper rod is pickled, and the copper rod, niobium rod and tin rod are ultrasonically cleaned for 10-15 minutes. After drying, they are drawn using a cold drawing machine at a drawing speed of 0.5mm / s, and the diameter deformation of each pass is 0.5-1mm. Multiple drawing passes are performed until the deformation reaches 80%-85%, and the final outer diameter of the copper rod is reduced to 6-7mm.

[0017] Step 2, the wire obtained by drawing in step 1 is cut to obtain the middle part, and then subjected to electric pulse treatment to obtain a wire sample after electric pulse treatment; In step 2, the specific process of electric pulse is: a sample with a length of 80 mm is cut from the middle of the drawn wire, and clamped on the electric pulse device for electric pulse. The electric pulse process parameters are: pulse voltage 50-60V, pulse frequency 350-400Hz, and pulse time 50-60s.

[0018] Step 3: The sample after electric pulse obtained in step 2 is heat treated in a vacuum atmosphere heat treatment furnace for the Cu-Sn bronze reaction stage. Compared with the conventional process, the bronze heat treatment time is shortened to 75 hours, and the Nb3Sn wire with shortened bronze heat treatment time is obtained.

[0019] In step 3, the bronze heat treatment process is to place the electric pulse sample into a vacuum atmosphere heat treatment furnace and control the vacuum degree to 10 -2 Heat treatment parameters are: keep the vacuum atmosphere heat treatment furnace at a heating rate of 5-10℃ / min in the heating stage, so that the heat treatment temperature rises from room temperature to 190℃-215℃, and keeps at this temperature for 50h; then heat it to 405℃-420℃, keep at this temperature for 25h, and cool the furnace.

[0020] The present invention ensures the grain size and provides deformation energy storage, laying a foundation for the subsequent improvement of the performance of Nb3Sn superconducting wires. Through this fine process control, the present invention not only shortens the bronze heat treatment time of Nb3Sn superconducting wires, but also increases the diffusion layer thickness of Cu6Sn5, providing a reaction source for the subsequent generation of high-current-carrying Nb3Sn superconducting wires, laying a foundation for improving the superconducting performance of Nb3Sn superconducting wires.

[0043] The present invention is based on a method for quickly achieving bronzeization of Nb3Sn superconducting wires by electric pulse treatment, and provides a new process for the heat treatment of Nb3Sn wire phase formation by the internal tin method - electric pulse-short-time bronzeization heat treatment process. On the one hand, electric pulses have the characteristics of rapid temperature rise and fall, and can perform bronze heat treatment on Nb3Sn wire precursors in a short time, saving heat treatment time and improving the efficiency of Nb3Sn superconducting wire preparation. On the other hand, pulse current can generate extremely high Joule heat and electric wind effect in a very short time, accelerate the diffusion of elements in the Cu-Sn system, promote Cu6Sn5 nucleation, increase the thickness of the Cu6Sn5 diffusion layer, and provide sufficient reaction sources for subsequent Nb3Sn phase formation.

[0044] The present invention is based on a method for rapidly achieving bronzeization of Nb3Sn superconducting wires by electric pulse treatment. After multiple drawing passes of the Cu / Sn / Nb assembly, the maximum deformation is limited to 80% to 85%. For the assembly, the deformation within this range can ensure the coordinated deformation of each component during the plastic deformation process and generate a uniformly deformed Nb3Sn precursor wire; on the other hand, it can prevent the grain size from being too large while providing sufficient driving force for the diffusion of Cu-Sn elements during the subsequent bronze heat treatment of the Nb3Sn wire precursor.

[0045] The present invention is a method for quickly realizing the bronzeization of Nb3Sn superconducting wire based on electric pulse treatment. In the bronzeization heat treatment process, a heating rate of 5-10°C / min is selected, and the Nb3Sn superconducting wire precursor is heated to 190°C to 215°C for heat preservation; then the same heating rate is maintained, and the temperature is raised to 405°C to 420°C for continued heat preservation. For the Nb3Sn superconducting wire precursor, the heating rate can prevent the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the workpiece from being too large, and the multi-component structure from thermal cracking due to stress concentration, thereby reducing the temperature gradient; on the other hand, it prevents the grain size of the generated phase from being too large during the heating process, thereby reducing the plastic toughness of the Nb3Sn wire in subsequent practical applications. The selection of a phase formation temperature range of 190°C to 215°C provides sufficient driving force for the diffusion of each component, and the diffusion capacity of the Cu-Sn element is improved, thereby generating a CuSn binary ordered phase. Selecting 405℃~420℃ to continue the phase heat treatment can regulate the organization of the CuSn binary ordered phase, avoid the formation of harmful phases, and provide nucleation conditions for the formation of Cu6Sn5. Furnace cooling prevents oxidation of the sample during the cooling process and avoids fracture of the sample during cooling.

[0046] The electric pulse-short-time bronze heat treatment process adopted in the present invention can effectively shorten the heat treatment time of Nb3Sn phase formation, break through the limitations of long conventional heat treatment time and low efficiency, generate CuSn compound matrix in a shorter time, achieve bronze, regulate the bronze structure, provide sufficient reaction source for the final phase formation of Nb3Sn at high temperature, increase Nb3Sn content, and improve the current carrying capacity of Nb3Sn wire.
