Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of neutron shielding materials, and particularly relates to a cermet shielding material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In view of different ray generation forms and application characteristics of nuclear technology, the traditional neutron shielding material has been difficult to meet the requirements. In many special small nuclear reactors (such as compact small fusion reactors and mobile small fission reactors) and nuclear facility application sites, it is usually a mixed field of multiple energy rays, and the radiation shielding material not only needs to have high comprehensive shielding efficiency of multiple rays, but also needs to have certain structural mechanical properties, withstand extreme environmental tests, and have high-performance functional / structural integrated neutron / γ ray shielding materials to greatly simplify the shielding structure and realize the miniaturization of the shielding structure.

[0003] Among the typical metal-based functional / structural integrated ray shielding materials, only boron steel is relatively mature. It has good thermal neutron absorption performance, γ ray shielding performance and excellent mechanical properties. Since the addition amount of boron in boron steel is limited, if the ideal neutron absorption effect is to be achieved, the thickness of the boron steel must be increased to improve the neutron absorption capacity; aluminum-based boron carbide composite material, which can add a higher content of boron and also inherits the good mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum, is the most widely researched and applied neutron absorption material at present. However, it has almost no shielding ability for γ rays, and the use temperature is not high, which also limits its application, such as fusion reactor shielding cladding material. In recent research, W-B / Al composite material (201310176166.4, 201811591037.0) is prepared by adding tungsten and boron elements in the aluminum matrix. Due to the limited addition amount of boron and W, the comprehensive shielding performance of the composite material for fast neutrons and γ rays, high-temperature mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are not ideal. The MH-B-Al (MH: metal hydride) shielding material (201711336252.1, 202210992472.4) prepared by compounding aluminum with titanium hydride, zirconium hydride and boron has good fast neutron moderation and absorption performance, but the general hydride begins to decompose at 300-500℃, and the decomposition will be accelerated under irradiation environment.

[0004] In view of the application defects of the above-mentioned materials, the present application provides a high-density high-temperature functional / structural integrated neutron and γ ray comprehensive shielding material with high shielding performance for neutrons and γ rays in each energy segment, which is expected to be widely applied in various reactors and facilities with mixed energy rays to greatly simplify the shielding structure and realize the miniaturization of the shielding structure. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a cermet shielding material with simple structure and high shielding performance for neutrons and gamma rays in various energy ranges and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] The cermet shielding material for shielding neutrons and gamma rays provided by the present application is (W x Mo 1-x )AlB-MAB phase cermet shielding material, which is a 222 type MAB solid solution phase compound (bulk) with ternary layered nanometer. It is a monoclinic cubic crystal structure with a space group of Cmcm, and the unit cell is formed by alternately stacking MB units and A atoms. The compound is composed of elements W, Mo, Al (or 6061 Al alloy) and B. Mo is a solid solution atom of W at the M site, and the atomic concentration x of Mo is 5-40 at%. The alloy elements Si, Mg and other atoms in the 6061 Al alloy are mainly at the A site. (6061 Al alloy is an Al alloy product model, which is a standard known product.)

[0007] The compound cermet shielding material has extremely high W and B content, and has very excellent shielding performance for neutrons and gamma rays in various energy ranges. On the other hand, the unique structure endows the material with metal and ceramic double characteristics, i.e. good mechanical properties, excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, high thermal stability and high temperature oxidation resistance. The addition of solid solution atom Mo mainly improves the decomposition temperature of the compound phase. The replacement of Al with 6061 Al alloy forms a multi-element solid solution at the A site, which can improve the mechanical properties of the MAB phase.

[0008] There are few reports on the preparation of WAlB-MAB phase bulk material.

[0014] Step 5: the sintered block is cooled to room temperature at a predetermined cooling rate to obtain a high-purity and dense (W x Mo 1-x )AlB-MAB phase ceramic bulk material.

[0015] In step 1, the tungsten powder, the molybdenum powder, the boron powder and the aluminum powder (or the 6061 aluminum alloy powder) are in a molar ratio of W:Mo:B:Al=(0.6-0.95):(0.05-0.4):(0.8-1.2):(1.0-2.0), and the zinc stearate active agent accounts for 0.3-1 wt.% of the raw mixture.

[0017] In step 4, the pre-pressing pressure is 7-15 MPa, the vacuum environment pressure is 3x10 -3 ~ 5x10 -1 Pa.

[0018] In step 4, the predetermined heating rate is 5-20 DEG C / min, the predetermined sintering temperature is 800-980 DEG C, the predetermined pressure is 30-60 MPa, and the predetermined holding time is 1-15 h.

[0019] In step 4, after the sintering temperature reaches 200-400 DEG C, the pressure is increased at a predetermined pressurizing rate of 0.1-2 MPa / min to the predetermined pressure.

[0020] In step 5, the predetermined cooling rate is 100-200℃ / h.

[0021] The preparation method of the present application adopts initial materials which are economical and can save cost, and the raw materials used are simple and easy to obtain on the market; the obtained (W x Mo 1-x )AlB ceramic bulk material has high phase purity, and good mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and thermal stability.

[0022] The present application provides a (W x Mo 1-x )AlB-MAB phase cermet shielding material, which can be used as a functional structure integrated neutron shielding material at an environmental temperature of 500-800℃. The shielding material has moderate density, but has strong shielding function for neutrons and gamma rays of various energy segments, high mechanical strength, good thermal stability and corrosion resistance. The present application is particularly suitable for important occasions such as small and mobile reactors and shielding materials for radiotherapy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
