Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new materials, and in particular relates to a multilayer metal-ceramic composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the space environment, energy supply is the foundation for the realization of human deep space exploration projects. In this field, not only are there technical requirements for energy systems such as long life and high specific power, but also their safety, especially their performance in the event of accidents, is tested. Nuclear energy has a high energy density, and 1 kg of uranium 235 ( 235 U) fission can release energy equivalent to the combustion of 2,700 metric tons of standard coal. Space nuclear reactor systems offer advantages such as high power, long life, and strong environmental tolerance, making them the preferred energy supply for deep space exploration missions.
[0003] During reactor design and implementation, the selection of nuclear fuel cladding materials is a critical step in its successful application. Nuclear fuel cladding tubes contain nuclear fuel pellets and prevent the release of radioactive fission products through the coolant and ultimately into the external environment. The advent of microreactors has posed new challenges to the performance of nuclear fuel cladding, such as airtightness, high-temperature stability, and high-temperature mechanical strength.
[0004] Zirconium-based alloys are widely used as structural materials in second- and third-generation nuclear reactors, boasting advantages such as a small neutron absorption cross-section, high strength, and corrosion resistance. However, hundreds of ppm of dissolved hydrogen in zirconium alloys can form large amounts of zirconium hydride, significantly degrading the mechanical properties of the structural material. Furthermore, zirconium alloys undergo phase transformations at temperatures above 450°C and react with water at temperatures above 1000°C. This interaction forms zirconium oxide and hydrogen, leading to increased reactor pressure. The mixture of hydrogen and oxygen can cause explosions, seriously endangering the safety of nuclear power systems.
[0005] Accidents at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant (USA) and the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant (Japan) due to loss of coolant and reactivity surges demonstrated the true dangers of high-temperature zirconium. Steam reactions led to the formation of explosive hydrogen. These accidents have spurred accelerated development efforts across all nuclear power countries to improve the resistance of zirconium cladding to loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) and to develop more resilient fuels—accident-tolerant fuels (ATFs).
[0006] Compared with zirconium alloy, silicon carbide composite material (SiC f / SiC) has a smaller neutron capture cross section, a higher melting point, radiation resistance, and significantly higher high-temperature oxidation resistance (2-3 orders of magnitude higher), and the use of SiCf / SiC as a core structural material will eliminate the possibility of forming an explosive hydrogen mixture. f / SiC's high brittleness, high porosity and low density restrict its application as a structural material in nuclear reactors. Metallic rhenium has a large thermal neutron absorption cross-section and a small fast neutron absorption cross-section, and has a neutron spectrum shift property, which can protect the reactor from nuclear criticality safety issues in the event of a launch accident. Rhenium-molybdenum alloys with high rhenium content (rhenium content exceeding 50%) reduce the alloy's ductile-brittle transition temperature, giving the composite material an advantage in aerospace applications. However, the creep performance of metallic rhenium is relatively poor, and the introduction of silicon carbide (SiC), an important candidate for future nuclear reactor structural materials, into composite materials can effectively improve the creep performance of structural materials. In addition, both SiC and rhenium have excellent properties such as radiation resistance, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. The metal-ceramic composites composed of them have advantages and potential in use as space reactor ATF structural materials (such as cladding tubes, heat pipes, etc.). Summary of the Invention
