Abstract

The invention discloses an aluminum-based titanium diboride composite material for neutron shielding and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of metal materials. The aluminum-based titanium diboride composite material comprises the following composite materials of, in percentage by mass fraction interval, 1%-20% of magnesium, 0.1%-20% of Gd, 1-20 wt% of TiB2, and the balance aluminum. The preparation method comprises the following steps of A, smelting Al-Mg-Gd (TiB2) raw material to obtain a cast ingot; B, atomizing and spraying powder on the cast ingot to obtain powder; C, performing spark plasma sintering on the powder to obtain a sintered sample; and D, performing hot extrusion on the sintered sample to obtain the aluminum-based titanium diboride composite material for neutron shielding. Through rapid solidification and other processes, a nano-phase which is dispersively distributed and has high neutron absorption capacity is formed in the composite material, and the preparation method greatly improves the neutron shielding performance, guarantees the excellent mechanical performance of the material, and realizes the structural function integration ofthe material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal materials, and relates to an aluminum-based titanium diboride composite material for neutron shielding and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a light-weight and high-strength aluminum-based titanium diboride for neutron shielding Composite materials and methods for their preparation. Background technique [0002] There is strong neutron radiation in the spent fuel storage grid of nuclear power plants. With the development of nuclear power plants, the protection of neutron radiation has become an urgent problem to be solved; in order to prevent nuclear radiation, neutron absorbing materials and technologies are often used for shielding and protection, which puts extremely strict requirements on the performance of neutron absorbing materials. At present, the most common lightweight and high-strength neutron shielding materials at home and abroad are a series of aluminum-based composite ma...
