Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal composite material processing technology, and specifically relates to a processing method for composite heat sink components for nuclear fusion devices. Background Technology
[0002] Heat sink components are metal components with internal through channels that open onto the surface. Their basic structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. In practical applications, heat sink components are typically installed outside the high-temperature cavity or directly serve as the shell structure of the high-temperature cavity. Heat within the cavity is transferred to the component via conduction / radiation, and then carried away by the flow of cooling medium within the channel, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the high-temperature cavity. Therefore, heat sink components are mainly used in industrial applications for cooling enclosed or semi-enclosed high-temperature cavities, such as furnaces, reactors, and engine chambers.
[0003] In recent years, with the continuous increase in plasma heating power inside nuclear fusion reactors, their core temperature has also risen significantly, further increasing the heat flux density accumulated on the divertor. This will jeopardize the stability and safety of reactor operation, thus requiring optimized design of the nuclear fusion device's shell structure and performance. Copper alloys possess excellent thermal conductivity, good high-temperature strength, and processing performance, making them the preferred material for heat sink components in nuclear fusion devices. However, copper alloys have poor impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and are relatively expensive. Austenitic stainless steel possesses moderate strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, good processing performance, low cost, and aesthetic appearance. Therefore, if certain technical means can be used to connect copper alloys and stainless steel to create composite heat sink components, the respective performance advantages of both materials can be utilized, making them ideal materials for the shell structure of nuclear fusion devices. Currently, a certain nuclear fusion device shell structure design scheme is as follows: Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, this component is a plate-shaped composite structure made of a CrZrCu copper alloy layer and a 316L stainless steel layer. Its shape is part of a conical surface, belonging to a spatial curved surface. See details... Figure 2a The heat sink component has a thickness of 20mm to 40mm, a width of 300mm to 400mm, and a length approaching 1000mm, classifying it as a large-scale composite heat sink component. The internal channels of this heat sink component are distributed in an S-shape (but not limited to this), and its cross-sectional shape is rectangular. See details... Figure 2b During use, the component itself must have a certain strength, and the CrZrCu / 316L interface must have a certain bonding strength, while also meeting the airtightness requirements.
[0004] Currently, the processing method for CrZrCu / 316L composite heat sink components is as follows: First, a copper alloy / stainless steel bimetallic composite plate is processed using explosive welding. Then, straight channels are machined inside the composite plate using drilling, reaming, and drawing techniques, with copper tubes embedded at the edges for connection. Next, the edges of the plate are sealed using conventional welding methods such as arc welding, MIG welding, and TIG welding. Finally, a plate rolling machine is used to roll it into the required shape. The advantages of this method are that the size of the composite heat sink component is not limited by equipment, allowing for the processing of large-scale composite heat sink components; the entire processing involves only cold working, and the strength of the composite heat sink component itself is not affected. However, on the other hand, the copper / steel composite plate is produced using explosive welding, which easily leads to microscopic defects such as pores and cracks near the interface, affecting the airtightness of the composite heat sink component; this method can only process straight channels, and cannot complete processing when the channel distribution is complex; the material at the edges of the component cannot be fully penetrated, resulting in uneven strength distribution; in terms of machining, it requires processing ultra-long channels, which is difficult and costly; and the component has a rough appearance, affecting its aesthetics. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a processing method for composite heat sink components for nuclear fusion devices, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art. This method involves processing a preliminary channel structure on the surface of a CrZrCu copper alloy plate, assembling it with a 316L stainless steel plate, and then achieving composite molding through vacuum hot pressing and diffusion bonding. This eliminates pores and cracks in the microstructure near the interface of the copper / steel composite plate, improves the airtightness of the composite heat sink component, and obtains various complex structures and channel distributions, solving the problem of difficulty in processing and molding complexly distributed channels within the composite heat sink component.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for processing a composite heat sink component for a nuclear fusion device, characterized in that the method includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Material preparation: Select CrZrCu copper alloy raw material plate and 316L stainless steel raw material plate, level and cut them respectively, and then machine them according to the shape, structure and size of the target product composite heat sink component to obtain CrZrCu copper alloy plate and 316L stainless steel plate with channel prototype structure.
[0008] Step 2, Surface treatment: Electroplating is performed on the CrZrCu copper alloy plate obtained in Step 1 to form a Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating on the surface to be laminated, thus obtaining the treated CrZrCu copper alloy plate.
[0009] Step 3, diffusion bonding: The surface of the CrZrCu copper alloy plate to be composited obtained in Step 2 is stacked with the 316L stainless steel plate obtained in Step 1 and assembled to obtain a copper / steel composite with channels. Then, the copper / steel composite is placed in a vacuum hot pressing sintering furnace for diffusion bonding to obtain a copper / steel composite.
[0010] Step 4, One-time molding: The surface of the copper / steel composite obtained in step 3 is coated with paint, then heated and kept warm in an air resistance furnace, and after the heat preservation is completed, it is quickly transferred to a one-time molding mold for molding to obtain a one-time molded body;
[0011] Step 5, Solution treatment: The one-piece molded body obtained in step 5 is placed in an air resistance furnace for heating and holding at that temperature, and then cooled with oil;
[0012] Step 6, Secondary molding: Transfer the primary molded body after solution treatment in step 5 to the secondary molding mold for molding to obtain the secondary molded body;
[0013] Step 7, Aging Treatment: Place the secondary molded body obtained in Step 6 into an air resistance furnace for heating and holding at that temperature, and then air cool it.
[0014] Step 8, Finished Product Machining: Remove the residual coating adhering to the surface of the secondary molded body after the aging treatment in Step 7, and then use a vertical machining center to process it to the finished size to obtain the composite heat sink component.
[0015] This invention utilizes a vacuum hot pressing method to connect a CrZrCu copper alloy plate with a 316L stainless steel plate. A specialized mold is then designed, a molding process is established, and machining is employed to achieve precise forming of the composite heat sink component. Heat treatment further enhances its strength. The processing involves interleaving molding, vacuum hot pressing, and solution treatment followed by aging. This fully utilizes the good plasticity and ease of large deformation of the copper / steel composite after vacuum hot pressing to complete the first molding. The rapid cooling during the subsequent solution treatment causes partial distortion in the first-molded body, which is corrected through a second molding. During the subsequent aging process, stress release and microstructure changes cause slight distortion in the second-molded body. Therefore, by reserving machining allowances during material preparation and combining this with precision machining, the precise forming of the composite heat sink component is achieved.

By controlling the composition and thickness of the Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating, a complex metallurgical process occurs at the interface between the Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating on the surface of the CrZrCu copper alloy plate and the 316L stainless steel plate during vacuum hot pressing sintering, generating Fe-Ni-Cu-Ag, which is beneficial for the diffusion bonding of the two.

Figures 3a-3b and Figures 4a-4b As shown; the target product composite heat sink component is a fan-shaped body with dimensions (CrZrCu copper alloy plate thickness / 316L stainless steel plate thickness × width × length) of 12mm / 8mm × 300mm × 600mm, and the channel cross-section is a 4mm × 4mm rectangle, with the channel orientation distributed in an S-shape.
[0048] The processing procedure for the CrZrCu copper alloy plate is as follows: First, the cut CrZrCu copper alloy raw material plate is machined into a fan-shaped component with a thickness of 14mm and a machining allowance of 5.0mm around the perimeter. Then, a channel prototype, namely a rectangular groove with a cross-section of 4mm×4mm, is machined on one surface of the fan-shaped component. The rectangular groove is distributed in an S-shape. This surface is used as the composite surface. At the same time, four circular positioning holes with a diameter of 4mm are machined at the four corners of the fan-shaped component to obtain the CrZrCu copper alloy plate. The overall flatness of the CrZrCu copper alloy plate is 0.8mm and the surface roughness is Ra0.4.
[0049] The processing of the 316L stainless steel plate is as follows: First, the cut 316L stainless steel raw material plate is machined into a fan-shaped component with a thickness of 9mm and a machining allowance of 5.0mm around the perimeter. Then, a through hole with a diameter of 4mm is machined at the position corresponding to the channel prototype of the fan-shaped component to serve as the inflow and outflow ends of the channel. At the same time, four circular positioning holes with a diameter of 4mm are machined at the corner of the fan-shaped component at the position corresponding to the four circular positioning holes in the CrZrCu copper alloy plate, thus obtaining the 316L stainless steel plate. The overall flatness of the 316L stainless steel plate is 0.8mm, and the surface roughness is Ra0.4.
[0050] Step 2, Surface Treatment: Electroplating is performed on the CrZrCu copper alloy plate obtained in Step 1 to form a Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating with a thickness of 25μm on the surface to be laminated, thus obtaining the treated CrZrCu copper alloy plate; the Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating is composed of the following mass fractions: Ni 36.4%, Ag 4.2%, and the balance Cu;

[0054] Step Six: Secondary Molding: Transfer the primary molded body after solution treatment in Step Five to the secondary molding mold and determine its position. Then, start the hydraulic system and use the oil cylinder to push the upper mold of the secondary molding mold downward until the primary molded body is completely in contact with the working surface of the mold and hold for 4 minutes. Lift the mold and hold for 1 minute. Continue to move the upper mold downward until the primary molded body is completely in contact with the working surface of the mold and hold for 15 minutes to obtain the secondary molded body.

Figures 3a-3b and Figures 4a-4b As shown; the target product composite heat sink component is a fan-shaped body with dimensions (CrZrCu copper alloy plate thickness / 316L stainless steel plate thickness × width × length) of 18mm / 12mm × 360mm × 800mm, and the channel cross-section is a 6mm × 6mm rectangle, and the channel orientation is U-shaped.
[0072] The processing procedure for the CrZrCu copper alloy plate is as follows: First, the cut CrZrCu copper alloy raw material plate is machined into a fan-shaped component with a thickness of 21mm and a machining allowance of 8.0mm around the perimeter. Then, a channel prototype, namely a rectangular groove with a cross-section of 6mm×6mm, is machined on one surface of the fan-shaped component. The rectangular groove has a U-shaped distribution in the plane. This surface is used as the surface to be composited. At the same time, four circular positioning holes with a diameter of 4mm are machined at the four corners of the fan-shaped component to obtain the CrZrCu copper alloy plate. The overall flatness of the CrZrCu copper alloy plate is 1.0mm and the surface roughness is Ra0.4.
[0073] The processing of the 316L stainless steel plate is as follows: First, the cut 316L stainless steel raw material plate is machined into a fan-shaped component with a thickness of 14mm and a processing allowance of 8.0mm around the perimeter. Then, a through hole with a diameter of 4mm is machined at the position corresponding to the channel prototype of the fan-shaped component to serve as the inflow and outflow ends of the channel. At the same time, four circular positioning holes with a diameter of 4mm are machined at the corner of the fan-shaped component at the position corresponding to the four circular positioning holes in the CrZrCu copper alloy plate, thus obtaining the 316L stainless steel plate. The overall flatness of the 316L stainless steel plate is 1.0mm, and the surface roughness is Ra0.4.
[0074] Step 2, Surface Treatment: Electroplating is performed on the CrZrCu copper alloy plate obtained in Step 1 to form a 20μm thick Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating on the surface to be laminated, resulting in the treated CrZrCu copper alloy plate; the Ni-Ag-Cu ternary alloy coating is composed of the following mass fractions: Ni 39.5%, Ag 5.8%, with the balance being Cu;
[0075] Step 3, Diffusion Bonding: The surfaces of the treated CrZrCu copper alloy plate (obtained in Step 2) and the 316L stainless steel plate (obtained in Step 1) to be bonded are cleaned with ethanol to remove surface oil. Then, the treated CrZrCu copper alloy plate is stacked on top of the 316L stainless steel plate (obtained in Step 1), aligned vertically, and assembled. Positioning pins are used to fix the four corresponding circular positioning holes on both surfaces, resulting in a copper / steel assembly with channels. Figure 5a and 5b As shown, the copper / steel composite is then placed in a vacuum hot-pressing sintering furnace, and the furnace is evacuated until the vacuum level is 6.0 × 10⁻⁶. -3 Pa, start the heating system, and when the furnace temperature rises to 820℃, start the hydraulic system and adjust the system pressure so that the pressure on the copper / steel contact surface is 3.9MPa, and maintain it at this temperature and pressure for 110 minutes. Then, cool it down to below 26℃ with the furnace and take it out of the furnace to obtain the copper / steel composite.
[0076] Step 4: One-time molding: Clean the copper / steel composite obtained in Step 3 with ethanol to remove surface oil stains, and apply a high-temperature anti-oxidation and decarburization metal coating (MP100) with a thickness of 0.8mm. After application, allow it to dry for 5.5 hours, then place it in an air resistance furnace and heat it at 860℃ for 50 minutes. Within 6 seconds after the heat treatment, quickly transfer it to the one-time molding mold and position it correctly. Then, activate the hydraulic system and use the cylinder to push the upper mold of the one-time molding mold downwards until the copper / steel composite is completely in contact with the mold working surface and hold for 5 minutes. Lift the mold and hold for 1 minute, then continue to move the upper mold downwards until the copper / steel composite is completely in contact with the mold working surface and hold for 8 minutes. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 In the middle F, it indicates the direction in which the upper mold of the primary molding die moves downward to obtain a primary molded body; the curvature of the working surfaces of the upper and lower molds in the primary molding die is the same as the curvature of the front and back surfaces of the target product composite heat sink component, respectively;
[0077] Step 5, Solution treatment: Place the one-piece molded body obtained in step 5 in an air resistance furnace and heat it to 1020℃ and keep it at that temperature for 80 minutes. Then, quickly transfer it to an oil tank for oil cooling within 4 seconds. The oil is introduced from the side, that is, the long side of the one-piece molded body contacts the oil surface first, and then the oil is introduced into the width direction for cooling.
[0078] Step Six: Secondary Molding: Transfer the primary molded body after solution treatment in Step Five to the secondary molding mold and determine its position. Then, start the hydraulic system and use the oil cylinder to push the upper mold of the secondary molding mold downward until the primary molded body is completely in contact with the working surface of the mold and hold for 5 minutes. Lift the mold and hold for 1 minute. Continue to move the upper mold downward until the primary molded body is completely in contact with the working surface of the mold and hold for 18 minutes to obtain the secondary molded body. The curvature of the working surfaces of the upper and lower molds in the secondary molding mold is the same as the curvature of the front and back surfaces of the target product composite heat sink component, respectively.
[0079] Step 7, Aging treatment: Place the secondary molded body obtained in step 6 in an air resistance furnace and heat it to 460℃ and hold it for 300 minutes. Then remove it from the furnace and cool it to room temperature in the air.
[0080] Step 8, Finished Product Machining: Remove the residual coating adhering to the surface of the secondary molded body after the aging treatment in Step 7, and then use a vertical machining center to machine it to the finished size, obtaining a composite heat sink component composed of CrZrCu copper alloy / 316L stainless steel, such as... Figure 7 As shown.
[0081] Figure 8 The image shows the interface morphology of the CrZrCu copper alloy and 316L stainless steel in the composite heat sink component prepared in this embodiment. Figure 8 It can be seen that the microstructure near the interface between the CrZrCu copper alloy and 316L stainless steel is dense and well bonded, without microstructural defects such as pores, inclusions, or brittle compounds.
