Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of radiation protection and thermal spraying, in particular to a sealing agent penetration device for thermally spraying a tungsten-based shielding coating on the surface of a nuclear power plant pipeline. Background Art

[0002] Plasma spraying is a technology that uses high-temperature plasma as a heat source to heat powdered materials to a molten or semi-molten state, and then sprays them onto the surface of the substrate at high speed to form a coating with specific properties. However, during the spraying process, the molten and deformed particles are stacked in an interlaced manner. Due to the different flight speeds and temperatures, the stacked coatings present obvious irregularities, resulting in gaps or holes between the stacked particles. For tungsten-based materials, which have a high melting point and high hardness, there are many semi-molten or slightly melted particles during plasma spraying, making it difficult for plastic deformation to occur during the stacking process, resulting in a large number of pores, which seriously affects its shielding performance.

[0003] In order to improve the shielding performance of tungsten-based shielding coatings, high-hydrogen organic shielding filling materials are used to seal the pores of the tungsten-based shielding coatings so that their pores are filled. Because there is a large amount of hydrogen in the sealing material, the tungsten-based shielding coatings can have gamma and neutron shielding properties.

[0004] At present, the sealing method used for conventional plasma coating is manual brushing, which is simple to operate and highly efficient, but has disadvantages such as shallow sealing penetration depth and long curing time, resulting in poor sealing effect, which is difficult to meet the sealing effect of tungsten-based shielding coating. Vacuum sealing is an improved sealing technology, but the existing vacuum sealing device is large in size and complex in structure. The sealing process requires different tanks such as sealing, curing and cleaning. It is suitable for sealing large parts, but not for small-sized samples. It has problems such as complex operation and waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0024] See also Figure 1 , is a sealing agent penetration device for thermally spraying tungsten-based shielding coating on the surface of nuclear power plant pipelines in some embodiments of the utility model, which includes a sealing container 1, a sealing agent storage tank 2 and a vacuum generator 3. The sealing container 1 is used to accommodate the shielding coating sample, and the sealing agent storage tank 2 is connected to the sealing container 1 through a sealing agent input pipeline 41 and is used to place the sealing agent. The first end of the vacuum generator 3 is connected to the sealing container 1 through a first connecting pipeline 42, and the second end of the vacuum generator 3 is connected to the sealing agent storage tank 2 through a second connecting pipeline 43. The vacuum generator 3 can exhaust the air in the sealing container 1 for vacuuming. The shielding coating sample can be specifically a plasma tungsten-boron coating sample with a porosity of about 29%.

[0025] It can be understood that the sealing agent penetration device for thermally spraying tungsten-based shielding coating on the surface of nuclear power plant pipelines transports sealing agent to the shielding coating sample contained in the sealing container 1 through the sealing agent storage tank 2, and by setting up a vacuum generator 3, vacuum sealing treatment of the shielding coating sample can be achieved. The process is simple, the sealing efficiency is improved, and the sealing agent can also penetrate deeply, thereby improving the shielding performance of the tungsten-based shielding coating.

[0026] The sealing container 1 is provided with a heater, which can heat the inside of the sealing container 1 to solidify the sealing agent in the shielding coating sample. The sealing container 1 is provided with a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature inside the sealing container 1. The sealing container 1 is connected to a pressure gauge 11 for measuring the pressure inside the sealing container 1.

[0027] The pressure gauge 11 is connected to the sealing container 1 through a connecting piece 14, and an exhaust control button 15 is provided on the connecting piece 14. When the exhaust control button 15 is turned on, the air pressure in the sealing container 1 can be restored to normal pressure.

[0028] In addition, the sealing container 1 includes a container body 12 and a container cover 13 covering the container body 12. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the container body 12 is circular. In some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the container body 12 may also be elliptical, rectangular or other shapes, which are not specifically limited here. The container body 12 is made of metal material, which can withstand high temperature and is corrosion-resistant. The container cover 13 is made of glass material, which is easy to observe the shielding coating sample.

[0029] Preferably, the sealing agent is a high-hydrogen organic shielding filling material. The high-hydrogen organic shielding filling material contains a large amount of hydrogen elements, which can make the shielding coating sample have gamma and neutron shielding properties.

[0030] Specifically, the specific use steps of the sealing agent penetration device for thermally spraying tungsten-based shielding coating on the surface of nuclear power plant pipelines are as follows:

[0031] 1. Put the shielding coating sample into the container body 12, then cover the container cover 13, and deliver the sealing agent into the sealing container 1 through the sealing agent input pipe 41 to submerge the surface of the shielding coating sample;

[0032] 2. Turn on the vacuum generator 3 to evacuate the air in the sealing container 1, so that the pressure value of the pressure gauge 11 is below "0". Bubbles will appear on the surface of the shielding coating sample at first, and stop after a while. Keep the vacuum for 15 minutes;

[0033] 3. Turn off the vacuum generator 3, and rotate the exhaust control button 15 to start exhaust, restore the air pressure in the sealing container 1 to normal pressure, and discharge the sealing agent through the sealing agent input pipe 41;

[0034] 4. Deionized water is introduced into the sealing agent input pipe 41, and the heater inside the sealing container 1 is turned on to start heating to 80°C-90°C to solidify the sealing agent inside the pores of the shielding coating sample. Meanwhile, during the water flow process, the excess sealing agent on the surface of the shielding coating sample can be removed;

[0035] 5. Deionized water is continuously heated for 10-20 minutes and then discharged from the sealing container 1;

[0036] 6. Remove the shield coating sample and wipe it clean.

[0037] After taking out the shielding coating sample, the penetration depth of the sealant can be measured. The microscopic morphology and component distribution of the coating cross section can be detected. If the composition of each pore is similar to that of the high-hydrogen organic shielding filling material, it indicates that the sealant has penetrated and filled all the pores in the shielding coating sample. The neutron shielding performance test can also be carried out on the shielding coating sample after penetration.

[0038] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
