Abstract
The significance of radiation shielding is on the rise due to the expanding areas exposed to radiation emissions. Consequently, there is a critical need to develop metal alloys and composites that exhibit excellent capabilities in absorbing neutron and gamma rays for effective radiation shielding. Low-density Ti-based alloys with controlled structural properties can be used for radiation protection purposes. The present research investigates boron-doped Ti-based alloy, TiCuZrB, which is synthesized by arc melting technique, and its structural, mechanical properties, neutron, and gamma-ray transmission rate were investigated. Monte Carlo N-Particle simulation (MCNP6.2) code is used for calculating the Thermal (2.53 10 MeV) and fast (2 MeV) neutron transmission ratio (I/I) dependent on the sample thickness. The Phy-x program is employed for calculating the gamma-ray LAC, MAC, HVL, TVL, and MFP values. The calculated neutron shielding performance parameters of TiCuZrB alloy were compared with materials in the literature. It was found that TiCuZrB alloy demonstrated impressive physical characteristics, suggesting that it can serve as a promising alloy for neutron and gamma-ray shielding applications.
