Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-temperature anti-oxidation material preparation, and in particular to a high-temperature-bearing, erosion-resistant, anti-oxidation tungsten-based alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tungsten-based alloys have a melting point of up to 3000°C and have the advantages of good high-temperature performance, good plasticity after recrystallization, and good welding performance. They are widely used in non-ferrous metal metallurgy, aerospace, aviation, nuclear energy and other fields. However, during use, tungsten-based alloys do not have antioxidant properties and will undergo severe oxidation above 500°C, so they cannot serve in extreme environments. One of the available methods to improve the oxidation resistance of tungsten-based alloys above 2000°C is surface modification, that is, preparing an antioxidant surface coating with moderate thickness that meets the requirements of use on the surface of the tungsten-based alloy. Common ones include ceramic and metal antioxidant layers. Preparing a ceramic antioxidant coating on the surface of a tungsten-based alloy is currently a more common method. However, since the thermal expansion coefficient of ceramics is larger than that of tungsten-based alloys, the thermal shock resistance is poor, and the interface is easy to separate during use, which will lose its protective effect. Selecting a metal antioxidant layer with a matching thermal expansion coefficient can hopefully improve the performance of tungsten-based alloys in high-temperature oxidizing environments. At present, there are few reports on the preparation of metal anti-oxidation layers on the surface of tungsten-based alloys. CN201510925325.5 adds antioxidant elements to the prepared tungsten-based alloy to improve the antioxidant performance of the substrate, but it only reduces the oxidation rate and cannot solve the problem of substrate oxidation well; CN202111059137.0 prepares a high-temperature and erosion-resistant surface coating on the surface of tungsten or tungsten alloy. The coating system is relatively simple, but it does not synergistically improve the overall performance of tungsten alloy from the perspective of tungsten matrix optimization. In high-temperature environments, tungsten alloys are prone to failure due to grain boundary merging and growth, reduced strength, and other reasons. Summary of the Invention
