Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of dissimilar metal connection, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an oxidation dispersion strengthened tungsten / copper chromium zirconium monoblock (ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock) integral module with a gradient intermediate layer and an oxidation dispersion strengthened tungsten / copper chromium zirconium monoblock (ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock) integral module with a gradient intermediate layer prepared by the method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Controllable thermonuclear fusion energy is one of the ideal new energies to meet the future energy demand of mankind. In the tokamak device for fusion energy application, the divertor is one of the key core components, which can shield the impurities of the first wall, reduce the pollution to the central plasma, discharge the products (such as helium ash, etc.) of nuclear fusion reaction, withstand the high heat load of the plasma, and discharge the energy and particle flow generated thereby. Therefore, the preparation of high-performance divertor components is one of the great challenges faced by the current running and construction test devices (such as EAST and ITER) and the future CFETR.
[0003] The researches on W / CuCrZr Monoblock at home and abroad mainly focus on the optimization of the connection technology and the improvement of the interface bonding state of W / CuCrZr. Among them, the connection technology mainly includes brazing, diffusion welding, explosive welding and coating, and the improvement of the interface bonding of W / CuCrZr mainly adopts the introduction of an intermediate layer and the nanocrystallization of the surface of W. Overall, these technologies have made some progress, but there are still some deficiencies and limitations. For example, brazing can cause grain coarsening of the joint at high temperature, diffusion welding takes a long time, explosive welding can easily cause cracking of W, and the introduction of an intermediate layer can easily produce brittle metal compounds at the interface of the joint. At present, the divertor target plate for ITER and EAST mainly adopts W / oxygen-free copper (OFCU) / CuCrZr Monoblock components. The introduction of OFCU intermediate layer between W and CuCrZr can improve the interface bonding strength, but due to the large difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between W and Cu, stress concentration can easily occur at the interface between W and the OFCU connecting layer, leading to interface cracking and affecting the stability and reliability of the Monoblock module. Therefore, it is proposed to use W-Cu functional gradient material (W-Cu FGM) as an intermediate layer between W and CuCrZr instead of OFCU, that is, the side with high W content is combined with W, and the side with high Cu content is combined with CuCrZr, which is a possible solution to the high-performance connection problem of W / CuCrZr Monoblock, but there is still a lack of systematic research. On the other hand, the brittleness problem of plasma-facing W materials cannot be ignored, and the addition of second-phase oxide particles, such as Y2O3, ZrO2, La2O3 and Sm2O3, can effectively reduce the DBTT of the material and improve the toughness of the material, thereby improving the performance of the W material.
[0004] In summary, the preparation of the W / CuCrZr Monoblock module has the problems of low connection efficiency, complicated process, long time consumption and the like, and the overall component cannot be obtained directly in one step. At the same time, the inventors believe that optimizing the composition design of the W-Cu gradient layer in the W / CuCrZr Monoblock module and improving the W / Cu interface bonding state can effectively alleviate the thermal stress at the W / Cu interface, which is still one of the key problems of high-performance connection of W / CuCrZr in the Monoblock module. In addition, replacing pure W with ODS-W as a plasma-facing material is also one of the solutions to improve the Monoblock module. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a preparation method of a W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module with high efficiency, high performance, repeatability and integrated forming. SUMMARY

The ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integrated module directly prepared by the specific compaction forming process and SPS connection technology has excellent bonding strength and thermal load performance, and can better meet the performance requirements of the divertor material in the service environment of the fusion reactor.

[0068] Step seven: the ODS-W plate formed with the green body obtained in step six and the sixth annular gasket and the fifth die are placed into a spark plasma sintering furnace for sintering treatment to obtain an ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module with a gradient intermediate layer, and the sintering conditions are as follows: the SPS sintering temperature is 1050℃, the sintering time is 10min, the pressure is 60MPa, and the heating rate is 100℃ / min, wherein the pressure head applies pressure to the compacted green body of the through hole through the sixth annular gasket.
[0069] Figure 4 The SEM morphology of the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module with a four-layer W-Cu gradient intermediate layer prepared according to embodiment 1 of the present application is shown in (a), which is the SEM morphology along the cross-section of the Monoblock integral module, (b-f) are the SEM morphologies along different regions of the cross-section, and (g-l) are the EDS spectra of the corresponding different regions. From the SEM morphology of the Monoblock integral module along the cross-section, it can be seen that the Monoblock integral module has a four-layer W-Cu gradient intermediate layer, and the W content of the Monoblock integral module gradually decreases from the W layer to the Cu layer. Figure 4It can be seen that the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module only contains two elements of W and Cu, the morphology and organization of each region are uniformly distributed, and W and Cu are gradiently distributed along the cross-sectional direction, the content of W gradually decreases (100-0wt.%), and the content of Cu gradually increases (0-100wt.%); the EDS detection results can be seen that in region I (ODS-W region): the content of Cu is 0wt.%; in region II (intermediate layer region formed by the first W-Cu mixed powder): the content of Cu is 31.4wt.%; in region III (intermediate layer region formed by the second W-Cu mixed powder): the content of Cu is 46.5wt.%; in region IV (intermediate layer region formed by the third W-Cu mixed powder): the content of Cu is 68.3wt.%; in region V (intermediate layer region formed by the fourth W-Cu mixed powder): the content of Cu is 78.9wt.%; in region VI (region formed by CuCrZr powder): the content of Cu is 100wt.%. Since the addition amount of Y2O3 in ODS-W and Cr and Zr elements in CuCrZr is small, the spectrum peak of the spectrum is not detected. The above results are consistent with the composition and size structure of the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module designed in advance.
[0070] Figure 5 The EDS line scanning analysis of the cross section of the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module with four-layer W-Cu gradient intermediate layer prepared according to embodiment 1 of the application is shown in FIG. 6. Figure 5 It can be seen that the contents of W and Cu are gradually distributed, the combination between each layer is good, and the thickness of each layer basically meets the size of each layer designed in advance.
[0071] Figure 6 The microhardness distribution diagram of the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module with four-layer W-Cu gradient intermediate layer prepared according to embodiment 1 of the application along the cross section is shown in FIG. 7. Figure 6 It can be seen that the microhardness of the ODS-W / CuCrZr Monoblock integral module gradually changes along the direction from ODS-W to CuCrZr, the microhardness of the ODS-W layer is about 550HV, the microhardness of the first W-Cu layer is about 277HV, the microhardness of the second W-Cu layer is about 201HV, the microhardness of the third W-Cu layer is about 157HV, the microhardness of the fourth W-Cu layer is about 118HV, and the microhardness of the CuCrZr layer is about 56HV. The continuous change of the microhardness is conducive to relieving the residual stress of the Monoblock integral module, making the heterogeneous connection of ODS-W and CuCrZr more reliable, and prolonging the service life of the Monoblock module.
