Multiscale study of the interfacial behavior of novel (B4C + TiZrNbTa)/Al6061 composites with synergistic neutron and γ-ray shielding properties
A novel (B4C + TiZrNbTa)/Al6061 neutron and γ-ray synergistic shielding material was fabricated by vacuum hot pressing method. The material demonstrates more comprehensive shielding capabilities compared to commercially available shielding materials with a neutron and γ-ray absorption ratio equal to 100 and 31 %, respectively. In addition, a multiscale investigation integrating computational simulations and experimental characterization was conducted to elucidate the interfacial diffusion behavior and intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formation mechanisms within the TiZrNbTa/Al system. The results demonstrate that the TiZrNbTa/Al interface comprises three distinct regions, within which three different IMCs are formed. Furthermore, the diffusion process of the TiZrNbTa/Al system was simulated by Molecular Dynamics (MD) and the results indicated that Ti and Zr atoms exhibited higher diffusion rates compared with Nb as well as Ta atoms, facilitating the formation of AlmTin and AlmZrn IMCs. This current study demonstrates a novel composite material that exhibit robust neutron and γ-ray shielding behavior with nanoscale interfacial reaction between the Al and TiZrNbTa phase occurred.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology.
