Neutron Absorbing Composite Material and Method of Manufacture
A method of producing a neutron absorbing plate constructed of a boron carbide aluminum matrix composite material is disclosed. The method includes mixing a 30-50 micron average particle size B4C powder with an aqueous organic binder component to form a slurry; then drying the slurry at a temperature from about 20 to about 90 degrees Celsius until a dried cake comprising 1-20 percent organic binder of the total weight of said dry cake is formed; then granulating said dried cake to yield a granule size from about 0.5 mm to about 3 mm; then compressing said granules under pressure to create a particulate preform having an interior open porosity; and finally infiltrating the preform under pressure with a liquid metal, to form a metal matrix composite with uniform B4C particle loading.
