Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and relates to a titanium alloy shell component for storing tritium and solid helium at multiple grain boundaries and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, due to the continuous reduction of non-renewable energy such as fossil fuels, the demand for renewable new energy is becoming more and more urgent. Fusion energy generated by the fusion of deuterium and tritium, energy released by nuclear reactions or decay, and hydrogen energy are renewable clean energy. In order to ensure the safe and convenient storage and transportation of hydrogen, as well as the efficiency and safety of tritium production and use, the research on high-performance tritium storage materials is of great significance. To this end, my country has proposed to vigorously develop nuclear energy and solve nuclear safety issues. Pure titanium and titanium alloys are one of the metal materials with the highest hydrogen absorption density discovered and used so far, and the room temperature equilibrium pressure of titanium tritium is extremely low, and it is often used as a target material or hydrogen storage material for storing tritium.

[0003] Tritium decays during storage and produces helium that is insoluble in tritiated compounds. The different tritium concentrations in titanium tritiated compounds, as well as the helium generated by the decay of tritium, will affect the structural stability of tritium storage components. As tritium decays, helium will continue to deposit in the tritiated compound system and gather at the grain boundaries, gradually gathering into helium bubbles, causing the tritiated compound system to expand in volume and change in mechanical properties. When the concentration exceeds the critical threshold (the He / Ti atomic ratio reaches about 0.27), the pressure inside the bubble increases sharply, and the helium bubbles expand and connect and move toward the metal surface or grain boundaries, eventually causing the material to fail. Previous studies have shown that increasing the number of interfaces in the material by refining the grain size can significantly improve the material's tritium and helium storage performance.

[0004] At present, the commonly used large-scale titanium materials for tritium and solid helium storage have the disadvantages of coarse grains, few grain boundaries, uneven organization, low purity, and low material utilization rate, or cannot take into account the cleanliness and material utilization rate while ensuring fine grains and uniform organization. For example, obtaining fine-grained organization by rapid cooling is an effective means in current industrial production, but for large-scale structures, it is extremely difficult to achieve high-speed cooling of parts. In addition, in the solidification process, promoting grain nucleation and inhibiting grain growth through inoculation or modification treatment to obtain fine casting grains is a widely used method in industrial production, but this method cannot achieve the molding of large-scale shell parts, and the addition of inoculants and inhibitors deteriorates the purity of the parts. Physical methods such as mechanical stirring and electromagnetic stirring are used to promote the fracture and crushing of dendrites to increase the number of grains, which can effectively control the solidification organization, but it is impossible to achieve the organization control of large-scale shell parts. For example, combined with molding processes such as die forging on the basis of casting, it is impossible to achieve uniform distribution of organization, and the material utilization rate is low. If the forging or precision casting forming process is used for segmented processing and then welded, there will be a risk of failure due to the inherent performance difference between the weld and the matrix. None of the above existing processes can achieve the net near-forming manufacturing of high-purity large-sized tritium storage titanium alloy shell parts with uniform structure, fine grains, and multiple crystal boundaries while ensuring the material utilization and purity of the parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and provide a titanium alloy shell component for storing tritium and solid helium with multiple grain boundaries and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] This method for preparing titanium alloy shell components for multi-grain boundary tritium and helium storage adopts the PREP powder making process (plasma rotating electrode atomization powder making process) and selects narrow particle size, fine particle powder as raw material powder after vibration screening; after hot isostatic pressing and low-temperature sintering treatment, the fine grain structure inside the raw material powder is retained in the titanium alloy shell component, and the tritium and helium storage performance of the titanium alloy shell component is improved by increasing the helium aggregation points in the tritium decay process.

[0008] Specifically, the raw material powder is TA0 titanium alloy powder, and its chemical composition, measured by mass percentage, includes the following components: Fe<0.15%, C<0.05%, N<0.01%, H<0.005%, O<0.10%, and the balance is Ti.

[0009] Specifically, the cooling rate of the molten droplets in the PREP powder making process is 10 4 ℃ / s~10 5 ℃ / s.

[0010] Specifically, the narrow particle size powder has a particle size range of 30 μm to 50 μm.

[0011] Specifically, an ultrasonic rotary vibrating screen is used and vibration screening is completed under an argon or helium protective atmosphere.

[0012] Specifically, the preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: Utilize the PREP powder making process to make powder, and select powder with a particle size of 30 μm to 50 μm as raw material powder through vibration screening;

[0014] Step 2: Design the corresponding sheath and core according to the specifications of the titanium alloy shell for storing tritium and solid helium, and then use micro-plasma welding to complete the sheath production;

[0015] Step 3, heat treating the sleeve and the core;

[0016] Step 4: Vibration powder loading and degassing, electron beam sealing after degassing, degassing vacuum ≤ 1.0×10 -4 Pa;

[0017] Step 5, hot isostatic pressing the powder bag after welding to obtain a hot isostatic pressed blank; wherein the hot isostatic pressing temperature is 820°C to 850°C, the pressure is 100MPa to 150MPa, and the holding time is 150min to 180min;

[0018] Step 6, chemically corroding the hot isostatic pressed blank to obtain a processed blank;

[0019] Step 7: finishing the processed blank to obtain a titanium alloy shell component.

[0020] Specifically, the process parameters of the PREP milling process in step 1 are as follows:

[0021] The speed of titanium alloy rod is 30000r / min~32000r / min, the feed speed is 20mm / min~50mm / min, the distance between titanium alloy rod and plasma arc (PV value) is 30mm~50mm, the powder making current is 1000A~1400A, the powder making voltage is 80V~90V, and the powder making vacuum is <5×10 -3 Pa. In addition, before powder making, 3 to 5 rods are needed to wash the furnace to consume the residual gas components in the atomization chamber.

[0022] Specifically, the process parameters of the micro-plasma welding in step 2 are as follows: welding current is 10A~20A, arc voltage is 15V~30V, and welding speed is 0.5mm / s~2.5mm / s.

[0023] Specifically, in step 2, the outer diameter of the sheath is φ450mm~φ650mm, the inner diameter is φ420mm~φ620mm, and the height is 800mm~1200mm.

[0024] Specifically, step 3 includes:

[0025] The package is first cleaned with anhydrous ethanol, and then the package and the core are heat treated in a vacuum furnace. The temperature is set at 900°C~1100°C and the insulation time is 5h~8h.

[0026] Specifically, the electron beam current of the electron beam sealing welding in step 4 is 50mA~100mA, the acceleration voltage is 20~60kV, and the welding speed is 500mm / min~1500mm / min.

[0027] Specifically, the components and volume ratio of the etching solution used in the chemical etching in step 6 are as follows:

[0028] Water: sulfuric acid: nitric acid = (40%~50%): (20%~30%): (20%~30%), the corrosion liquid temperature is 40℃~60℃.

[0029] In addition, the present invention also provides a titanium alloy shell component prepared by the preparation method described in part or in whole above, wherein the titanium alloy shell component has a grain size of 5 μm to 10 μm, a thickness of 20 mm to 50 mm, and a length of 800 mm to 1200 mm.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1) The present invention adopts the PREP powder making process and selects narrow particle size powder as raw material powder after vibration screening. During powder making, the molten droplets are rapidly cooled and solidified, and the cooling rate is 10 4 ℃ / s~10 5 ℃ / s, the raw material powder particles prepared are fine and of comparable size. After hot isostatic pressing and low-temperature sintering, the fine grain structure inside the particles is retained in the titanium alloy shell parts, so that the titanium alloy shell parts have more grain boundaries, increasing the helium accumulation points in the tritium decay process, thereby improving the material's tritium storage and helium solidification performance.

[0032] 2) Powders with a particle size of 30μm~50μm are selected for powder filling and hot isostatic pressing. Compared with the traditional hot isostatic pressing process (selecting 50μm~250μm powder for hot isostatic pressing sintering), the powder particle size range is narrow, the powder particle size is similar, and the raw material uniformity is good. Therefore, after sintering, the grain size of the titanium alloy shell parts is fine grains of about 5μm, and the distribution is uniform, and the mechanical properties are better.

[0033] 3) The cladding is made by micro-plasma welding with specific process parameters, which can effectively avoid the high-density tungsten inclusion phenomenon in the weld metal; the raw material powder used is prepared by the PREP powder making process, which does not involve crucibles and other media; before powder making, the powder making vacuum degree is controlled to be less than 5×10 -3 Pa, and 3 to 5 rods are used for furnace washing to fully consume the residual gas inside the equipment, so that the oxygen increment is significantly reduced (less than 30ppm); the screening process uses high-purity argon gas protection, and the obtained raw material powder has high purity, so that the purity of the final titanium alloy shell parts can be effectively guaranteed. Before loading the powder, the sheath is cleaned with anhydrous ethanol and subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to ensure that the impurities, oil stains, and oxide scale on the surface of the sheath are fully decomposed and removed, ensuring the cleanliness of the titanium alloy shell parts.

[0034] 4) The use of the sheathing and core control process can achieve the net near-forming of the titanium alloy shell parts, and the material utilization rate can be increased to 70%. In addition, the present invention adopts the pickling and finishing treatment method, which can significantly shorten the processing cycle of the titanium alloy shell parts and improve production efficiency.
