CarTech® Micro-Melt® DuoSorb® 316NU Alloys
The alloys exhibit a substantially higher thermal neutron absorbing cross section than borated stainless steels and approach that of Boral® and other boron-containing composites, such as Metamic®. While boron remains the traditional thermal neutron absorber for containment of spent nuclear fuel materials, gadolinium has a higher thermal neutron cross section than boron.
The production of the CarTech Micro-Melt DuoSorb alloys is enhanced by the use of powder metal technology. PM processing yields a fine-grained, uniform microstructure, which improves hot and cold fabricability and facilitates consistent thermal neutron absorption capabilities throughout the product.
Applications:
These alloys can be considered for use in the nuclear industry for spent fuel storage racks and transportation casks, control rods, burnable poison, and shielding.
