The invention belongs to the technical field of cladding tube surface treatment, and discloses a water boiling oxidation method of a nuclear-grade
extrusion forming aluminum material, which comprises the following steps: preliminarily cleaning a fuel element, immersing the fuel element in
nitric acid for immersion cleaning, regenerating a layer of uniform porous white oxidation preforming film, and removing
nitric acid on the surface of the fuel element, so as to obtain the nuclear-grade
extrusion forming aluminum material. The fuel element is immersed in
nitric acid for immersion cleaning, yellow / gray stripes formed by residual substances on the surface of the fuel element after high-temperature nitric acid immersion cleaning are removed, nitric acid on the surface of the fuel element is removed, the surface of the fuel element is repeatedly wiped in the cold running
water washing process, and impurities generated by reaction of the surface of the fuel element and aluminum are removed; the fuel element is immersed in deionized water with the
water temperature exceeding 80 DEG C to be sealed and stored, a nanoscale oxidation film is prepared through the reaction of aluminum and water, and the fuel element is dried. According to the method, the
bonding strength of impurities and an aluminum matrix in the nitric
acid treatment process can be reduced, the impurities can be effectively removed, and large-area water marks on the surface of the aluminum material after automatic boiling oxidation are avoided.
