Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of an enhanced magnesium alloy-based neutron absorbing plate, which belongs to the technical field of preparation and application of nonferrous metal alloys. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy is a non-ferrous light metal alloy with good shock absorption, machinability, and impact resistance. It is widely used in transportation, electronics, medical equipment, and aerospace industries; magnesium alloys are also used in the nuclear industry. In terms of application, the thermal neutron absorption interface of magnesium is small, only 1 / 4 of that of aluminum. Magnesium alloys have good heat resistance, surface heat flow resistance and γ-ray radiation resistance. 2 The compatibility limit temperature can reach 500 °C, and the UK has used magnesium alloys as cladding materials for natural uranium fuel in CO 2 Used in gas-cooled reactors.
