中国科学院合肥物質科学研究院の黄群英教授らは、低放射化マルテンサイト鋼(CLAM鋼)と酸化物分散強化(ODS)合金を対象に、熱間圧縮接合(HCB)法を用いて欠陥のほぼない高強度接合を実現した。成果はMaterials Characterizationに掲載された。CLAM鋼は製造技術が成熟する一方、9Cr-ODS合金は高温強度と耐照射性に優れるが量産が難しい。従来溶接ではナノ酸化物が粗大化し性能低下を招く。本研究では1050℃での変形量増加により、界面のCr・Mn富化粗大酸化物がTiTaO₄やY₂TiO₅などの微細ナノ粒子へ転換し、動的再結晶による界面治癒が進行、接合強度は母材CLAM鋼に匹敵することを示した。

Abstract

Both the China low activation martensitic (CLAM) steel and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy showed high potential applications in nuclear reactor system. In this study, the hot compression bonding (HCB) for CLAM steel and 9Cr-ODS alloy was carried out at the temperature 1050 °C and the strain rate 0.01 s−1 with different deformations among 5 % and 50 %. The results indicated that the interfacial oxides of HCBed CLAM and 9Cr-ODS samples underwent remarkable transformation with increasing deformation. There were a number of oxides larger than 500 nm enriched with Cr, Mn and Ti elements remained at the bonding interface of the sample with 5 % deformation. Under 10 % deformation, Cr- and Mn-rich oxides basically decomposed, and the interfacial oxides transformed into TiTaO4 and a small amount of Y2TiO5 with the average size of ∼200 nm. In addition, some nano-oxides with sizes smaller than 30 nm presented near the interface, which were mainly irregular TiTaO4 oxides and spherical Y2O3 and Y-Ti-O oxides. When the deformation increasing to 30 %, most interfacial oxides transformed into compound oxides with a core of TiTaO4 and a shell of Y2TiO5, and their sizes reduced to less than 100 nm. Moreover, there were Y-Ti-O nano-oxides near the interface, which were comparable to the nanoparticles in the 9Cr-ODS matrix. As deformation reached 50 %, the large-size interfacial oxides were converted to nano-oxides completely and the original flat bonding interface were replaced by dynamic recrystallized grains, the interface could complete the healing. Evolution of interfacial oxides and dynamic recrystallization promoted the interface healing of two dissimilar alloys. The performance evaluation on the bonding interface and corresponding fracture morphology analysis showed that tensile properties of HCBed dissimilar joints at 10 % deformation were comparable with CLAM steel. This study is expected to promote the future application of complex blanket structures for fusion reactor.
