高温气冷堆燃料颗粒SiC包覆层性质研究

Properties of SiC Coated Layer for HTGR Fuel Particles

  • 摘要: 高温气冷堆(HTGR)燃料颗粒中的SiC包覆层是阻挡裂变产物释放最为关键的一层。本文采用XRD、Raman光谱以及SEM等方法对不同温度下在大内径喷射流化床内通过化学气相沉积法制备的燃料颗粒SiC包覆层进行微观结构分析,研究SiC包覆层在不同制备条件下的微观结构、成分以及密度变化的影响因素。结果发现,在实验设定的MTS(三氯硅烷)浓度范围内,在1 520~1 600 ℃之间均可制备出C、Si等杂质不明显的β-SiC包覆层,密度略有差异。通过微观结构分析发现,SiC包覆层密度的变小主要是由包覆层内微孔引起,且此微孔在包覆层内呈线性分布,同时基本位于某一相同的沉积表面,因此,微孔的生成与颗粒流化状态密切相关。可见,改善流化质量应是下一步工艺改进的主要方向。

     

    Abstract: The SiC coated layer of HTGR fuel particles is the most critical layer in hindering the release of fission products. In this paper, SiC coated layer was prepared in the jetting fluidized bed by chemical vapor deposition method under different temperatures and the microstructure was studied using different characterization methods, including XRD, Raman and SEM analysis. It can be found that β-SiC without the doped C, Si and other impurities can be prepared in the experimental MTS concentration, in different temperatures from 1 520 ℃ to 1 600 ℃, and a slight change in density can be found. The microstructure analysis validates that the density change of the SiC coated layer is mainly due to the micro hole in the coated layer. The linear distribution of the micro hole is found, and all holes are located at the same deposition surface. It can be concluded that the formation of the micro hole in the coated layer is closely related to the particle fluidized state, which shall be focused on in the future.
