Additive manufacturing of composite neutron absorbing components
Abstract
Collimators and other components for use in neutron scattering experiments or to provide neutron shielding in nuclear reactors or accelerator based neutron sources are produced by additive manufacturing from multiple different types of material, such as boron carbide (B4C), steel, isotopically enriched boron carbide (10B4C), and blends thereof.
