Manufacturing and Properties of Radiation Resistance Aluminum Alloys and Composites with Addition of Gadolinium

Abstract:

In this work, the technology of Al-Gd alloys production has been developed, in which gadolinium is added as an alloying element during induction melting or in the composition of Gd₂O₃ disperse particles in the complex use of powder metallurgy and foundry technologies. The design of Vibration-jet agitator (VJA) and technology of its use for introduction of disperse particles into aluminum melts were developed. Aluminum alloys and dispersion-strengthened composites containing gadolinium have been obtained, their structure and neutron absorption properties has been studied.
