Welding processes and microstructures of weld bead of Zr-Sn-Nb-Fe-Cr and Zr-Nb-Fe zirconium alloy

  • 摘要: Zr-1.0Sn-0.50Nb-0.50Fe-0.14Cr与Zr-1.30Nb-0.30Fe锆合金是目前正在研制开发核燃料组件用两种新型Zr(-Sn)-Nb-Fe系锆合金. 针对新型燃料组件骨架压力电阻点焊,采用不同的焊接工艺参数对Zr-1.0Sn-0.50Nb-0.50Fe-0.14Cr导向管与Zr-1.30Nb-0.30Fe焊舌片进行研究,并对较优焊接参数下的焊接接头力学性能、显微硬度、金相显微组织及熔核区形貌和析出相进行了分析. 结果表明,增大焊接电流和减小焊接压力,焊点剪切力和熔核尺寸随之增加,断裂方式由界面断裂转变为纽扣断裂;焊接电流对熔核尺寸及剪切力影响最大,焊接压力的增加,焊点剪切力和熔核尺寸均减小,但焊接压力的适当增大提高了形核稳定性. 在电阻点焊不平衡的急速冷却条件与电磁搅拌作用下,熔核区形成非平衡淬火针状板条状组织结构,析出的细小Fe2(Nb0.35, Zr0.65)和Fe2 (Nb0.3, Zr0.7)第二相粒子呈圆形或长条棒状分布于基体α-Zr与β-Zr晶粒内、晶界处及板条组织中,从而提高了熔核区及热影响区的显微硬度,含Nb的细小弥散析出FCC第二相增强了焊缝抗水侧腐蚀性能.

     

    Abstract: Zr-1.0Sn-0.50Nb-0.50Fe-0.14Cr and Zr-Nb-Fe alloys were the two new developed zirconium alloys which used in fuel assembly. In this paper, different welding parameters of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.50Nb-0.50Fe-0.14Crguide thimble welded toZr-1.30Nb-0.30Fe tab by using pressure resistance spot welding method were studied. The mechanical properties and microstructures of the optimum welding parameters of the weld bead were studied. The result showed that the shear strength and nugget size increased as the welding current increased and the welding force decreased. The Failure mode of the weld bead changed from junction surface fracture to button fracture as the welding current increased. The welding current was the key factors on the mechanical properties and microstructure. As the increasing of the electrode force, the welding shearing strength and the diameter of the welding core size decreased. Under the imbalance express cooling, the fusion zone consists of a mixture of α-Zr and β-Zr phases among which lamellar structure. The fine Fe2(Nb0.35, Zr0.65) and Fe2(Nb0.3, Zr0.7) second phases particles were precipitated inter and intergranular in the grains, so the mechanical and anti-water corrosion properties were improved.
