Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of metal material oxidation corrosion detection, and particularly relates to a calculation method of corrosion weight gain of metal material caused by irradiation after ion irradiation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Safe and efficient development of nuclear power is the energy strategy of our country, and the service safety of nuclear power key materials is the core element of long-term safe and efficient operation. Nuclear power key component materials such as reactor pressure vessels, fuel cladding and in-core components are subjected to high temperature, high pressure, corrosion, irradiation and other adverse factors during service, which comprehensively leads to the decline of material performance and the damage of structural integrity, affects the service life of the corresponding materials, and increases the safety hidden danger of nuclear power. Among them, the corrosion performance research of nuclear power materials is an important part of the aging failure evaluation of nuclear power key components, such as the corrosion of fuel cladding in the primary loop environment, and the irradiation effect of neutron irradiation causes the change of material microstructure, thereby affecting the corrosion process and mechanism of the material. In order to simulate the actual working environment, the corrosion mechanism research of nuclear power key materials under irradiation conditions needs further in-depth research.

[0003] Due to the radioactivity of neutron irradiated samples, it brings many inconveniences to the research of material performance, and ion irradiation is relatively inexpensive and efficient. At present, ion irradiation is used to simulate the damage effect caused by neutron irradiation at home and abroad. On the one hand, ion irradiation experiments are often designed only on one side of the sample, and the surface of the sample is required to be high. At present, the corresponding fixture of the terminal of the main domestic irradiation platform is fixed by pasting the sample. If double-sided irradiation is carried out, the sample after irradiation needs to be turned over, pasted again and irradiated again, which will cause the irradiation surface to be contaminated due to pasting, affecting the micro corrosion behavior, and all surfaces of the sample will produce corrosion weight gain during the corrosion process. Direct measurement of the weight gain of the single-side irradiated sample cannot quantitatively characterize the corrosion weight gain of the irradiation surface. On the other hand, the existing characterization of high temperature and high pressure corrosion weight gain of metal materials after ion irradiation is mainly qualitative comparison of the difference of corrosion performance before and after irradiation, and the corrosion weight gain of the irradiation surface cannot be obtained.

Attached Figure Description

[0031] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the geometric parameters of the sample prepared in a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

[0033] Figure 2 This is a corrosion weight gain curve of a zirconium alloy sample before and after irradiation in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] This invention provides a method for calculating the corrosion weight gain of metallic materials after ion irradiation, comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step 1) Sample preparation

[0037] The initial metal material is wire-cut into a thin sheet with a rectangular geometric shape, with a length of A, a width of B, and a thickness of H, wherein the length A and the width B are both not less than 10 mm, and the thickness H is not greater than 1.5 mm.

[0038] For samples of rectangular thin plates, 10% of the sum of the front and back surface areas must be greater than the surface area of ​​the four sides, i.e., 10% × 2A × B > 2(A + B) × H.

[0039] A through-hole, penetrating the thickness of the sample, is made to facilitate suspension during corrosion experiments. The inner diameter of the through-hole is no greater than 1 mm, and the weight gain due to corrosion on the hole wall surface can be neglected in the calculation.

[0040] Step 2) Sample processing

[0041] The surfaces of the samples, including the front and back surfaces and the four side surfaces, are polished with 400-mesh, 800-mesh and 1200-mesh sandpaper in sequence, and each sandpaper is polished until the scratches are uniform and cover the polishing traces of the previous sandpaper. Then, according to different materials, the surfaces are cleaned or pickled to remove the surface oxide film, and the cleaned samples are polished and the geometric parameters a, b and h of the samples after surface treatment are measured, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0042] Step 3), obtaining the irradiated sample and the non-irradiated sample and obtaining the initial weight

[0043] One of the polished surfaces is selected for ion irradiation with a corresponding dose to obtain a single-side irradiated sample under a specific condition. The irradiated sample and the non-irradiated sample after irradiation are weighed to obtain the initial weight before corrosion, which are denoted as W 0,irr. and W 0,unirr. , respectively.

[0044] Step 4), performing a corrosion experiment and obtaining the weight after corrosion

[0045] The non-irradiated sample and the irradiated sample after ion irradiation are placed in the same autoclave for oxidation corrosion experiment. The corrosion conditions can be different according to different experimental designs. After a corresponding time t of corrosion, the samples are taken out and dried, and then weighed. The weight of the non-irradiated sample after corrosion is denoted as W t,unirr , and the weight of the irradiated sample after corrosion is denoted as W t,irr. .

[0046] Step 5), calculating the corrosion weight gain per unit area of the non-irradiated polished surface

[0047] The corrosion weight gain ΔW t,unirr. of the non-irradiated sample is calculated as follows:

[0048] ΔW t,unirr. = W t,nuirr. -W 0,unirr. = X t抛光面 · S 抛光面,unirr.

[0049] In the formula, X t抛光面 is the corrosion weight gain per unit area of the polished surface of the non-irradiated sample under the corrosion time t, and S 抛光面,unirr. is the area of the polished surface of the non-irradiated sample, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0050] S 抛光面,unirr. = 2·a unirr. ·b unirr. + 2(a unirr. +b unirr. )·h unirr.

[0051] The corrosion weight gain per unit area X on the polished surface of the unirradiated sample at corrosion time t is calculated t抛光面 may be expressed as

[0052]

[0053] Step 6), the corrosion weight gain per unit area of the irradiated surface of the irradiated sample at the corresponding corrosion time is calculated

[0054] For the single-side irradiated sample, the unit area corrosion increment caused by the polished but unirradiated surface of the sample on the four sides is approximately equal to X of the unirradiated sample t抛光面 Therefore, the corrosion weight gain X caused by irradiation in the single-side irradiated sample is t辐照面 may be expressed by the following calculation formula, and thus the law of the difference in corrosion weight gain between the irradiated and unirradiated conditions of the sample is obtained.

[0055] ΔW t,irr. = ΔW 辐照 + ΔW 未辐照

[0056] S 辐照面,irr. = a irr. · b irr.

[0057] S 抛光面,irr. = a irr. · b irr. + 2(a irr. + b irr. )· h irr.

[0058] ΔW t,irr. = X t辐照面 · S 辐照面,irr. + X t抛光面 · S 抛光面,irr.

[0059]

[0060] In the above formula, unirr. means unirradiated, and irr. means irradiated.

[0061] Implementation case:

[0062] In this embodiment, a zirconium alloy (Zr-1 Nb) is subjected to corrosion for 3, 7 and 14 days under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure water in a simulated reactor primary loop environment at 360℃ and 18.6 MPa after ion irradiation, and then irradiation oxidation weight gain characterization measurement is performed, the steps are as follows:

[0063] 1) The initial zirconium alloy sample was wire-cut to a thin sheet with a geometry of about 15x15x0.7mm, a surface area satisfying 10% x 2 x 15 x 15 > 2(15+15) x 0.7, and a through hole with a diameter of 0.8mm was punched at a position above the surface of the sample to facilitate corrosion suspension of the grid.

[0064] 2) The surface of the sample was polished with 400 mesh, 800 mesh, and 1200 mesh sandpaper in sequence, and each sandpaper polishing was unified in the direction of scratches and covered the polishing marks of the previous sandpaper. Since the material is a zirconium niobium alloy, the surface was pickled with mixed acid according to the YS / T1308-2019 standard, and the pickled sample was electrochemically polished. After polishing, the geometric parameters a, b, h of the sample were measured, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0065] 3) One of the polished surfaces was selected for single-sided ion irradiation with a corresponding dose (Xe ion irradiation to 0.2dpa). The irradiated sample and the unirradiated sample were weighed to obtain the initial weight before high-pressure autoclave corrosion, denoted as W0, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0066] 4) The unirradiated zirconium alloy sample and the ion-irradiated zirconium alloy sample were placed in the same high-pressure autoclave for oxidation corrosion experiment. The corrosion conditions were 360°C, 18.6MPa, and 0.01mol / L LiOH solution. After corrosion for a corresponding time t (t=3, 7, 14), the sample was taken out, dried, and weighed, denoted as W t , and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Size parameters and weighing data of corrosion samples

[0068]

[0069] 5) For the unirradiated sample, the corrosion weight gain X on the polished surface of the unirradiated sample at time t was calculated using the following formula t抛光面 , and the actual data are shown in Table 2.

[0070] ΔW t,unirr. = W t,unirr. - W 0,unirr. = X t抛光面 · S 抛光面,unirr.

[0071] S 抛光面 = 2a unirr. b unirr. + 2(a unirr. + b unirr. )h unirr.

[0072]

[0073] 6) For single-sided irradiated samples, the side surface around the sample is approximated to the increase in corrosion per unit area caused by the polished but unirradiated surface of the sample X t抛光面 and the increase in weight due to irradiation in the single-sided irradiated sample is calculated using the following formula X t辐照面 .

[0074] ΔW t,irr. = ΔW 辐照 + ΔW 未辐照

[0075] S 辐照面,irr. = a irr. · b irr.

[0076] S 抛光面,irr. = a irr. · b irr. + 2(a irr. + b irr. )· h irr.

[0077] ΔW t,irr. = X t辐照面 · S 辐照面,irr. + X t抛光面 · S 抛光面,irr.

[0078]

[0079] The specific calculation data are shown in Table 2, and the corrosion weight gain curves before and after irradiation are shown in Figure 2 , thereby obtaining the difference in corrosion weight gain of Zr-1 Nb material after unirradiation and ion irradiation for 3, 7, and 14 days under high temperature and high pressure corrosion.

[0080] Table 2 Corrosion weight gain of the corrosion sample

[0081]

[0082] The present application provides a method for calculating the corrosion weight gain of the irradiated surface of a sheet-shaped metal material after single-sided ion irradiation by designing a corrosion experiment of an ion irradiated metal material sample. The method overcomes the problem that it is difficult to accurately measure the corrosion weight gain caused by irradiation in a high temperature corrosion experiment of a conventional single-sided ion irradiated metal sample. Based on the method, the influence of irradiation on the corrosion performance of some metal materials can be further studied, the corrosion weight gain data can be more effectively measured, the influence of irradiation effects on high temperature and high pressure corrosion of metal materials can be more effectively characterized, and theoretical method basis is provided.

[0083] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and to implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
