Microstructural, thermal, and radiation shielding properties of Al50B25Mg25 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying

Abstract

Aluminum, boron, and magnesium are one of the most common aerospace infrastructure materials. Therefore it is important to know their effectiveness in radiation shielding. In this study, Al-B-Mg powder alloy with a nominal composition of Al 50 B 25 Mg 25 was synthesized by using a mechanical alloying

Gamma-ray, fast neutron and ion shielding characteristics of low-density and high-entropy Mg–Al–Ti–V–Cr–Fe–Zr–Nb alloy systems using Phy-X/PSD and SRIM programs

“…Furthermore, Pb shields exhibit limited absorption capability within the 40 to 88 keV energy range, referred to as the lead feeble absorption region [11] . A plethora of research including those on various ceramics [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , polymer composites [16] , [17] , [18] , glass systems [19] , [20] , [21] , and metal alloys [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] has been conducted in a search of efficient materials that could replace conventional shielding facilities offered by Pb-based materials and different types of concretes. In our previous work [27] , we investigated and compared the radiation shielding properties of lightweight Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with traditional Pb and heavy concrete materials.…”
