Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature oxidation and quenching experimental performance testing of structural materials, and in particular to a high-temperature water vapor oxidation and quenching behavior experimental system and method for cladding materials under severe nuclear reactor accidents. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear fuel elements are the energy source of nuclear power plants and the core components of reactors.

[0003] In order to improve the inherent safety of fuel elements, the concept of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) was proposed and has become a research hotspot at home and abroad. In order to apply ATF to commercial light water reactors, domestic and foreign scholars have carried out a lot of theoretical and experimental research, and focused on the development and selection of new cladding. The most promising new cladding for commercial use is Cr-coated Zr cladding. However, when an accident beyond the design basis occurs, the reactor core temperature may rise to above the Cr-Zr eutectic temperature. Therefore, in the CEA-Framatome-EDF nuclear fuel joint program, the concept of "Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel" (EATF) for light water reactors (LWRs) was proposed. In order to expand the database to better understand the response time and temperature of EATF, the research has been extended to lower and higher oxidation temperatures, including "design extension conditions" (DEC) up to 1500℃. Existing studies have shown that the eutectic reaction between the chromium coating and the zirconium substrate occurs in the temperature range of 1300 to 1330°C. The temperature at which the Cr-Zr eutectic reaction occurs in the Cr-coated Zr alloy cladding is related to the preparation method and thickness of the coating. After the eutectic reaction, the Cr coating and Zr form a liquid phase, which will cause the Cr coating to be consumed at a much faster rate, and may cause the Cr coating to lose its oxidation resistance in a short period of time. Research on the potential impact of this reaction on high-temperature oxidation behavior and related embrittlement / failure behavior is still in its infancy. There is no suitable experimental system that can reasonably control the heating rate in a high-temperature water vapor environment and achieve rapid quenching after oxidation to simulate the accident environment of the cladding.

Close the sealing ring 20, and the mixed gas of argon and water vapor will flow upward along the quartz glass tube 13 and flow out from the gas outlet 14. Use the hanging platinum-rhodium wire 15 to connect the cladding sample with the upper track slider fixture 16, and start the upper track slider fixture 16 of the track bracket 17 to move the cladding sample to the bottom of the infrared focusing heating area 21. Start the infrared radiation heating furnace 12 to set a certain heating rate and target temperature to start heating; start the chiller 11 to dissipate heat and cool the stainless steel gold-plated reflective wall of the infrared radiation furnace 12; start the data acquisition system 18 to use the fast-responding exposed No. 5 thermocouple 205 to collect the temperature information of the cladding sample and transmit it to the infrared radiation heating furnace temperature control system 19 to achieve the heating rate and temperature control of the infrared heating furnace. When the high-temperature water vapor oxidation time is about to end, open the sealing ring 20 at the lower end of the quartz glass tube 13. Start the lower track slider fixture 7 of the slide rail bracket 17 to move the quenched quartz glass tube 8 to the bottom of the infrared focusing heating area 21. At the moment when the high-temperature water vapor oxidation time is over, turn off the infrared radiation heating furnace 12 and quickly start the lower track slider fixture 7 to move the quenched quartz glass tube 8 upward, and quickly quench the cladding sample after the high-temperature oxidation experiment. Start the upper track slider fixture 16 of the slide rail bracket 17 to move the cladding sample to the upper end and take it out, and close each pipeline valve and experimental instrument in turn. After the experiment, the taken out cladding sample is measured three times again using a high-precision electronic balance to take the average value. Use metallographic preparation materials to prepare cross-sectional characterization parts of the cladding sample, and use advanced characterization methods such as EDS, SEM, and TEM to characterize the oxidation behavior.
