Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic matrix composite material connection, and more specifically, relates to a SiC glass ceramic weld. f / SiC composite cladding tube-end plug weldment and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) has excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low neutron absorption cross section, low creep and low hydrogen production rate when reacting with high temperature water vapor. It has broad application prospects in the field of nuclear energy. f SiC composite materials are considered to be candidate materials for nuclear fuel cladding in the new generation of nuclear energy systems, in order to significantly improve the core's fault tolerance and power generation efficiency under accident conditions. f In the process of manufacturing nuclear fuel cladding components made of SiC composite materials, there are still many problems, such as SiC f The problem of high performance welding sealing at both ends of the / SiC composite cladding tube remains unsolved.

[0003] SiC f The material of the SiC composite cladding tube is different from the mature commercial zirconium alloy and cannot be homogenously connected by fusion welding or pressure resistance welding. It is usually necessary to introduce solder for welding. f In the field of SMD / SiC composite material connection, according to different solder types, several connection technologies have been developed, including metal brazing connection, diffusion welding, precursor connection, reaction connection, MAX phase connection, NITE phase connection and glass connection.

[0004] The advantage of glass connection technology is that the connection temperature is low, which helps to avoid SiC fiber degradation; in addition, through the design of solder composition, the thermal expansion coefficient of the solder can be controlled to be close to that of SiC, thereby significantly alleviating the thermal mismatch problem between the connection layer and the base material. However, most of the currently disclosed glass solder systems have poor high temperature resistance and cannot maintain sufficient strength to ensure the sealing of the cladding tube under LOCA accident conditions. In order to improve the high temperature resistance of glass solder, scholars have proposed to crystallize the glass solder to transform the connection layer from pure glass to glass ceramics. However, in the current public literature, the glass crystallization product and SiC are usually prone to thermal mismatch and may crack, resulting in an increase in the leakage rate of the welded parts. In addition, public literature reports that in order to convert a large amount of glass into glass ceramics, it is usually necessary to keep it warm at the crystallization temperature for a long time, which weakens the quick connection advantage of the glass connection technology and has a negative impact on the performance of the core block inside the cladding tube and the SiC f / SiC composite materials have adverse effects on the structural stability and seriously reduce the connection efficiency, which is not conducive to practical engineering and commercial applications.
