摘要
作为面向等离子体候选材料,金属W多晶材料具有低韧性的特点,表现出室温脆性行为和高的韧脆转变温度,极大地限制了其在工程上的应用。针对当前常用的改善W韧性的方法:细化晶粒,添加合金化元素、第二相颗粒和W纤维以及加工变形技术,本文从内韧化和外韧化2种韧化机制来阐述各种韧化方法,以加深对改善W韧性的理解。结合目前国内外研究现状,对改善钨基材料的方法进行讨论并对改善钨基材料发展方向进行简单展望。
As a candidate for plasma facing material(PFM) in nuclear fusion situation, polycrystalline W with a characteristic of bad low temperature ductility shows brittle behaviour at room temperature and possesses a high ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, which limits its engineering application. In this paper, several common methods of grain refinement, addition of alloying elements, second-phase particles and tungsten fibre, and deformation processing for improving ductility of W are illustrated. To indepth comprehend of how to improving W toughening, these toughening methods are discussed from intrinsic or extrinsic toughening mechanisms. Furthermore, the research status and development prospects for improving ductility of W materials have been presented.
