Abstract:

Al/B composite is a new structural-functional integration material, which has a promising potential in future application due to their good combination of neutron shielding property and mechanical property. In order to obtain sintering process parameters of Al/B composite, the mold pressure, sintering temperature and the composition of powders were investigated and the physical properties of Al/B composite also systematically studied. In addition, the surface morphology of Al/B composite was analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the relative density will be higher when the mold pressure was bigger in appropriate pressure intervals, and when the mold pressure was more than 144MPa, the composites was difficult for molding because of the great internal stress. From the analysis of morphology, it shows that the best sinter temperature interval is 550-580°C. From the studies of composition of powders, it has been found that the percentage of Al affect the density and hardness. The density will be higher if the percentage of Al is higher.
