Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing processes for low-activated ferrite / martensitic steel components in nuclear fusion reactors, and in particular to a heat treatment process for additively manufactured RAFM steel. Background Art
[0002] Low-activation ferrite / martensitic steel (RAFM steel) has become the most promising candidate structural material in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and future thermonuclear demonstration fusion reactors due to its high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, irradiation activation and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties. The first wall (FW), as a component directly facing the plasma, bears long-term aging effects such as neutron irradiation, high thermal and mechanical loads, tritium breeder corrosion, etc. The RAFM steel structural material used in the first wall should meet quite severe environmental requirements.
[0003] The design of FW structure is limited by complex geometric shapes, and its processing and manufacturing are very challenging. Traditional manufacturing methods mainly include bending, milling, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), fusion welding, machining and heat treatment, with long manufacturing cycles and low processing accuracy. Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has attracted widespread attention from scholars due to its advantages in manufacturing complex three-dimensional structures. Compared with traditional processes, selective laser melting (SLM) based on powder bed fusion has the advantages of high material utilization, short production cycle, high molding accuracy, good surface quality and excellent mechanical properties.
[0004] The specimens formed by SLM are affected by heat accumulation and have large thermal stress inside after forming. Overall, the material has high strength and high brittleness, so heat treatment is required to regulate the microstructure and mechanical properties. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a heat treatment process for additively manufactured RAFM steel. The present invention refines the grains through a laser selective melting and rapid melting cooling process, and improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of RAFM steel through normalizing and tempering heat treatment.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0011] Preferably, the method for preparing RAFM steel in step (1) comprises the following steps:
[0012] S1: The RAFM steel raw materials are melted, refined and degassed in a vacuum induction furnace, and the molten alloy is placed in a gas atomization nozzle system, where an inert gas flow is used to atomize the alloy liquid into small droplets, which are then rapidly solidified to form RAFM steel powder;
[0013] S2: The RAFM steel powder is placed in an oven for drying and then subjected to SLM powder bed fusion molding to produce RAFM steel.
[0014] Preferably, in S1, the rate of the inert gas flow is 1000-1500 Nm 3 / h.
[0015] Preferably, the RAFM steel raw material comprises the following components in percentage by mass:
[0016] C: 0.08-0.15%; Cr: 8.0-9.6%; Mn: 0.3-0.8%; W: 1.0-2.5%; V: 0.1-0.5%; Ta: 0.05-0.2%; the rest are Fe and impurity elements.

[0019] Preferably, in S2, the drying temperature of the RAFM steel powder is 100-120° C., and the holding time is 2-5 h.

[0024] In the present invention, if the heating rate is too fast, the RAFM steel will be heated unevenly; if the heating rate is too slow, the heat treatment efficiency is low and the time is too long. Moreover, too long a heating time will coarsen the grains and affect the performance of the RAFM steel. Therefore, the present invention is beneficial to improving the comprehensive performance of the RAFM steel by controlling the heating rate during tempering within the above range.

[0027] The present invention obtains fine-grained high-performance RAFM steel by combining SLM technology with a heat treatment process, and obtains fine martensitic structure by utilizing the rapid melting and cooling characteristics of laser. The process of laser selective melting is 3D modeling → slicing → scanning path planning → printing. By controlling the laser scanning path, nearly two-dimensional planes are superimposed to form a three-dimensional structure. No mold is required and the cost is low, the cycle is short, and the precision is high. It has unique advantages in the preparation of complex and precise metal structural parts. Subsequently, the structure is homogenized through a heat treatment process to obtain higher ductility, thereby solving the problem of loose pores and defects formed during the casting process of large metal components.

[0114] 2. Yield strength: Yield strength is the yield limit of metal materials when yielding occurs. For RAFM steel without obvious yield phenomenon, the stress value that produces 0.2% residual deformation is specified as its yield strength, and σ s express.
[0115] 3. Elongation: Elongation is the ratio of the elongation after the original gauge length breaks of the metal material during quasi-static stretching to the initial gauge length, expressed as δ.
[0116] 4. Static toughness: Static toughness is used to reflect the material's ability to resist fracture during stress, which can be expressed as 0.5*(σ b +σ s )*δ to approximate.
[0117] The above indicators are obtained by tensile test, and the tensile test of metal materials is carried out in accordance with the GB / T228.1-2021 test standard.
[0118] 5. Impact energy: Impact energy is an indicator to measure the toughness of materials. It is the ability of materials to absorb plastic deformation work and fracture work under impact load. k The Charpy impact test is carried out in accordance with the GB / T229-2007 test standard.
[0119] 6. Vickers hardness: It is used to describe the ability of a material to resist a hard object from pressing into its surface. It is expressed as HV. The Vickers hardness test is carried out in accordance with the GB / T4340.1-2009 test standard.
[0120] The above test results are shown in Table 1.
[0121] Table 1
[0122]
[0123] According to Table 1, after normalizing and tempering heat treatment, the tensile strength and yield strength of RAFM steel decrease. This is because after heat treatment, dislocations are absorbed and the dislocation strengthening mechanism is weakened, so the strength decreases. During the heat treatment process, fine grains grow and the strength decreases. However, the elongation of RAFM steel increases after heat treatment. In addition, the present invention can make RAFM steel have higher plasticity and toughness by controlling the temperature and holding time during normalizing heat treatment and tempering heat treatment, thereby greatly improving the comprehensive performance of RAFM steel.
[0124] According to Examples 1-10, the present invention refines the grains through the rapid melting and cooling process of laser selective melting, and effectively improves the plasticity and toughness of RAFM steel through normalizing and tempering heat treatment. Moreover, according to the calculation of static toughness, the normalizing and tempering heat treatment process has a significant effect on improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of the material.
[0125] according to Figure 1-4 It can be seen that the fine-grained high-performance RAFM steel provided by the present invention regulates the internal microstructure through the heat treatment process. The microstructure before heat treatment is chessboard-shaped, with coarse columnar crystals and fine equiaxed crystals arranged in an orderly manner, and the growth of the grains has <101> The preferred orientation of the steel direction makes the structure anisotropic. After heat treatment, the grain orientation becomes more uniform. With the recrystallization process, the grains are refined, the alloy elements gather, and carbides are continuously precipitated. According to the strength theory, the refinement of grains and the precipitation of carbides have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of RAFM steel.
[0126] According to Examples 4-10 in Table 1, when the tempering temperature is kept constant at 740 °C and the normalizing temperature changes from 940 °C to 980 °C to 1020 °C to 1050 °C, the static toughness is 8500.17 MPa∙%, 9839.51 MPa∙%, 9740.70 MPa∙%, and 9338.80 MPa∙%, respectively. When the normalizing temperature is kept constant at 980 °C and the tempering temperature changes from 650 °C to 700 °C to 740 °C to 780 °C, the static toughness is 8349.12 MPa∙%, 9446.80 MPa∙%, 9839.51 MPa∙%, and 9764.44 MPa∙%, respectively. This is significantly improved compared to the static toughness (3345.73 MPa∙%) of the unheat-treated RAFM steel sample.
[0127] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
