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 mass fraction range of magnesium in the composite material is 1-20wt%, and the mass fraction range of Gd 0.1-20wt%, the mass fraction range of TiB2 is 1-20wt%, and the balance is aluminum. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A, melting the Al-Mg-Gd (TiB2) raw material to obtain an ingot; B, atomizing the ingot and spraying powder to obtain a powder; C, sintering the powder by discharge plasma to obtain a sintered sample; D 1. The sintered sample is hot-extruded to obtain an aluminum-based titanium diboride composite material for neutron shielding. Through rapid solidification and other processes, nano-phases with dispersed distribution and strong neutron absorption capacity are formed in the composite material. This preparation method not only greatly improves the neutron shielding performance, but also ensures the excellent mechanical properties of the material, and realizes the material. Structural and functional integration.

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...
