The invention discloses a high-mechanical-property aluminum-based
composite material for shielding neutrons and gamma rays and a preparation method of the high-mechanical-property aluminum-based
composite material for shielding the neutrons and the gamma rays, 6-series aluminum
alloy is used as basic
alloy, and
tungsten boride with the
volume fraction being 9-20% or mixed
powder of
tungsten and
boron with the
volume fraction sum being 9-20% is added, so that the high-mechanical-property aluminum-based
composite material for shielding the neutrons and the gamma rays is obtained. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing
raw material powder, putting the weighed
raw material powder into a stainless steel tank, adding a ball milling medium and a
lubricant, putting the obtained raw materials into the stainless steel tank, putting the stainless steel tank on a
ball mill, carrying out vacuum ball milling to obtain a mixture, putting the mixture into a
graphite mold, and carrying out
hot pressing to obtain the high-strength
graphite material. And heating and pressurizing in a vacuum environment or a protective
atmosphere, carrying out hot pressed
sintering under the conditions of heat preservation and pressure preservation, and cooling to
room temperature to obtain the compact sintered block of the
tungsten-
boron-
gadolinium-aluminum composite material. The tungsten-
boron-
gadolinium-aluminum composite material can achieve good
neutron and
gamma ray shielding at the same time, and has high application value.
