Preparation Process of Li4SiO4 Pebbles as Tritium Breeding Materials

  • 摘要: 欧洲和中国聚变堆固态产氚包层(TBM)的氚增殖剂倾向于采用直径0.5~2 mm的Li4SiO4陶瓷小球填充床。本工作探讨锂陶瓷小球的性能指标设计,研究挤压-滚圆、烧结法制备Li4SiO4小球的工艺可行性,测试分析小球的密度、直径、球形度、晶粒尺寸、压碎载荷等性能。研究表明:挤压-滚圆成型、1 050 ℃无压烧结的Li4SiO4陶瓷小球密度为90.4%TD,堆积密度为52.9%TD;平均直径为0.95 mm,标准偏差为0.15 mm;球形度为1.10;平均压碎载荷为18.50 N,标准偏差为2.76 N;平均晶粒尺寸为14 μm;相结构由Li4SiO4主晶相、少量Li2SiO3和Li2Si2O5等组成。采用优化的挤压滚圆、烧结工艺可制备出合格的Li4SiO4陶瓷小球产品。

     

    Abstract: Li4SiO4 with a diameter of 0.52 mm has been candidated as solidstate tritium breeder material for the testing blanket module (TBM) of fusion reactor being developed in Europe and China. Performance designs of Li ceramics pebbles were discussed, extrusion-spheronisation-sintering process of Li4SiO4 pebbles were studied, and density, diameter, sphericity, grain size and crush load of pebbles were analyzed and characterized. Li4SiO4 pebbles sintered at 1 050 ℃ have a density of 90.4%TD, pebbled bed density 52.9%TD, diameter (0.95±0.15) mm, sphericity 1.10, crush load (18.50±2.76) N, average grain size 14 μm, phase structures of Li4SiO4 (main), Li2SiO3 and Li2Si2O5. Products of Li4SiO4 pebbles can be fabricated by the improved extrusion-spheronisation and sintering processes.
