Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of refractory metal alloy pipe processing technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing high-precision molybdenum-rhenium alloy large-diameter thin-walled pipes by hot and cold alternating rolling. Background Technology
[0002] Due to its excellent processing performance and superior room temperature and high temperature mechanical properties, molybdenum-rhenium alloy has a wide range of applications as a structural and functional material in fields such as nuclear industry, electronics industry, and medical implants.
[0003] As high-melting-point alloys, especially molybdenum-rhenium alloys with high rhenium content, are typically prepared using powder metallurgy. However, powder-metallurgical alloys suffer from problems such as high impurity content and poor weldability. Furthermore, industries like nuclear power, electronics, and medicine have high purity requirements for materials, making it difficult for high-rhenium-content molybdenum alloys prepared by powder metallurgy to meet the application requirements of these fields. In addition, in these fields, such molybdenum-rhenium alloys are mainly used in the form of tubular materials, such as fuel cladding tubes in nuclear reactors, heat pipes, and cardiovascular stent substrates in the medical field. These tubular materials require extremely high dimensional accuracy and excellent mechanical properties, generally requiring multiple passes of precise high-temperature deformation (forging, rolling, etc.) to achieve this.
[0004] Existing patented technologies struggle to simultaneously meet the requirements of precision and excellent mechanical properties in the fabrication of large-diameter, ultra-thin-walled molybdenum-rhenium alloy pipes. For example, patent CN111036893A uses powder metallurgy to prepare billets, followed by forging and extrusion to obtain molybdenum-rhenium alloy pipes. This technique suffers from low material purity and micro-defects due to the powder metallurgy method, and the extruded pipes also exhibit low dimensional accuracy. Patent CN108213440A similarly uses powder metallurgy to prepare billets, followed by hot isostatic pressing to obtain molybdenum-rhenium alloy pipes. This technique also suffers from low alloy purity, and the lack of pressure processing after hot isostatic pressing results in insufficient material mechanical properties. Although patent CN111014654A employs rolling for multi-pass pressure processing of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy, the powder metallurgy method used for preparing the billet also results in low material purity. Inappropriate matching of outer diameter and wall thickness deformation parameters during pipe rolling leads to pipe cracking, making it difficult to manufacture large-diameter thin-walled pipes. A comparison with existing patents reveals that all of these patents use hot rolling to manufacture pipes. Hot-rolled pipes have poor dimensional accuracy and surface roughness, requiring subsequent processing to obtain pipes that meet dimensional requirements. However, no examples of cold rolling for manufacturing molybdenum-rhenium alloy pipes have been found.
[0005] Meanwhile, existing hot-cold alternating rolling processes exist, but they are all designed for magnesium alloys. Magnesium alloys exhibit good plasticity at medium temperatures and soften easily at high temperatures. Their hot-cold alternating rolling processes use medium-temperature hot rolling at 420-450℃ with fixed-pass deformation and no special atmosphere protection. This process is unsuitable for the low-temperature brittleness and high-temperature oxidation characteristics of molybdenum alloys. Direct application would lead to severe oxidation and cracking of molybdenum alloy tubes, making them unusable for forming. Furthermore, existing magnesium alloy hot-cold alternating rolling processes are mostly for plates, using flat rolls without mandrel support structures. However, tube rolling requires ensuring dimensional accuracy of both inner and outer walls. The material of the mandrel, preheating temperature, and fitting clearance directly affect the rolling effect. The die design for magnesium alloy rolling cannot meet the high-precision rolling requirements of molybdenum alloy tubes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a hot-cold alternating rolling process adapted to the characteristics of molybdenum alloys to solve the problems of cracking, oxidation, and low dimensional accuracy in molybdenum alloy tube rolling. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for preparing high-precision large-diameter thin-walled molybdenum-rhenium alloy tubes by alternating hot and cold rolling, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art. This method employs an alternating rolling process of hot rolling-warm-cold transition rolling-controlled cold rolling to improve the low-temperature plasticity of the tube, ensure continuous tube forming, and achieve efficient and high-precision rolling of molybdenum-rhenium alloy tubes. This results in large-diameter thin-walled molybdenum-rhenium alloy tubes with higher dimensional accuracy and surface quality, solving the technical problems of easy cracking, low dimensional accuracy, and poor low-temperature plasticity in existing molybdenum-rhenium alloy tube rolling processes, while avoiding the process compatibility defects of alternating hot and cold rolling of magnesium alloys.

Polish the inner and outer surfaces of the final cold-rolled tube blank and cut it to length to obtain the finished molybdenum-rhenium alloy large-diameter thin-walled tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention involves multiple vacuum electron beam melting processes on sintered molybdenum-rhenium alloy billets, resulting in high-purity finished molybdenum-rhenium alloy large-diameter thin-walled tubes with a total impurity content ≤150wppm (testing for more than 60 impurity elements). This meets the high-purity requirements of molybdenum-rhenium alloy materials in the nuclear power and medical fields.

At the same time, by precisely controlling the rolling temperature, deformation, and rolling speed at each stage, continuous forming of molybdenum alloy tubes is achieved, resulting in higher dimensional accuracy and surface quality, and producing high-precision large-diameter thin-walled molybdenum-rhenium alloy tubes.

This results in a large deformation, a more uniform microstructure, and higher strength. The final finished pipe has a room temperature tensile strength of over 900 MPa and an elongation at break of over 20%.
