摘要/Abstract

摘要： 伴随着核材料的深入发展,铀及铀合金作为结构材料和功能材料的性能要求不断提高。材料性能强烈依赖于组织变化,而组织由成分设计和生产工艺进行调控。因此,梳理了近年来国内外关于形变、热处理及合金化对铀及铀合金组织演变影响的研究情况,并对未来铀及铀合金的发展方向进行了展望。

关键词: 铀, 铀合金, 合金化, 变形, 组织演变, 热处理

Abstract: With the in-depth development of nuclear materials, the performance requirements for uranium and its alloys as structural and functional materials are constantly increasing. Material properties strongly depend on microstructural changes, which are regulated by composition design and production processes. Therefore, recent domestic and international research on the effects of deformation, heat treatment, and alloying on the microstructural evolution of uranium and its alloys were reviewed, and the future development direction of uranium and its alloys were prospected.

Key words: uranium, uranium alloys, alloying, deformation, microstructural evolution, heat treatment
