摘要

摘要: 为了优化国产Zr-4合金的耐腐蚀性能，在420℃、10.3 MPa的高温高压水蒸气加速腐蚀条件下，研究了合金元素Fe+Cr以及杂质元素Si对国产Zr-4合金耐腐蚀性能的影响。结果表明：在美国材料实验学会（ASTM）规定的Fe+Cr含量范围内（0.28 wt%~0.37 wt%，wt%表示质量分数），Fe+Cr含量越高，析出的第二相数目越多、尺寸越大，越有利于材料耐腐蚀性能提升。在420℃水蒸气中腐蚀126 d后，当Fe+Cr含量从0.28 wt%增加到0.37 wt%时，Zr-4合金的腐蚀增重降低约30%。Zr-4合金在1100℃淬火时，当Si含量低至10 mg/kg时，形成粗大的平行板条结构；而增加Si含量到100 mg/kg后，析出的细小Zr₃Si为α相提供形核位置，使得组织中出现网篮结构和细小的平行板条结构。网篮结构能促使组织中第二相分布更均匀弥散，因此，高Si含量的Zr-4合金表现出更优良的耐腐蚀性能。

Abstract: In order to optimize the corrosion resistance of domestic Zr-4 alloy, the effects of alloying element Fe+Cr and impurity element Si on the corrosion resistance of domestic Zr-4 alloy were studied under the accelerated corrosion condition of high temperature and high pressure steam at 420℃ and 10.3 MPa. The results show that within the range of Fe+Cr content specified by ASTM (0.28 wt%-0.37 wt%, with wt% representing mass percentage), the higher the Fe+Cr content, the larger the number and size of the precipitated second phases, which is beneficial to the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the material. When the content of Fe+Cr increases from 0.28 wt% to 0.37 wt%, the corrosion weight gain of Zr-4 alloy decreases by about 30% after 126 d of corrosion in steam at 420℃. When the Si content of Zr-4 alloy is as low as 10 mg/kg during quenching at 1100℃, the coarse parallel-plate structure is formed. When the Si content is increased to 100 mg/kg, the precipitated fine Zr₃Si provides nucleation sites for α phase, which leads to the appearance of basketweave structure and fine parallel-plate structure in the microstructure. The basketweave structure can promote the distribution of the second phase in the structure to be more uniform and diffuse, so the Zr-4 alloy with high Si content shows better corrosion resistance.
