Abstract

The invention relates to compact 10 B boron carbide-rich ceramics, which is prepared from the following raw materials in part by mass: 84 to 95 parts of 10 B boron carbide-rich powder, 1 to 6 parts of europium oxide, 0 to 4 parts of samarium oxide, 0 to 3 parts of gadolinium oxide, 1 to 3 parts of zirconium oxide and 1 to 3 parts aluminum oxide. The ceramics is prepared by the following steps of:ballmilling and molding the raw materials; and sintering the raw materials at the highest sintering temperature of between 2,000 and 2,250 DEG C. The compact 10 B boron carbide-rich ceramics has the characteristics of high neutron absorptivity, high strength and high compactness, and can be used as ceramic materials of control rods, regulating rods, emergency rods, safety rods, and shielding rodsof nuclear reactors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dense rich 10 B boron carbide ceramics and a preparation method thereof belong to the technical field of nuclear industry protective materials. Background technique [0002] In nuclear reactor core assemblies, neutron absorbing materials are important functional components next to fuel components. Boron carbide has a high neutron absorption cross-section and a wide absorption energy spectrum. After absorbing neutrons, there is no strong secondary radiation of γ-rays, so the waste is easy to handle. Therefore, it is an important neutron-absorbing material, and it is also the only one commonly used in the world. fast neutron absorbing material. As a neutron absorbing material, boron carbide ceramics should have the following properties: 1) sufficient strength and relative density; 2) high thermal conductivity; 3) high neutron absorbing capacity. [0003] The neutron absorption capacity of boron carbide mainly depends...
