Microstructure Analysis of Neutron Absorber Al/B4C Metal Matrix Composites
The microstructure of Al/B4C metal matrix composites (MMCs) used as neutron absorbers in both dry storage casks and wet storage pools of spent nuclear fuel was analyzed by SEM and TEM. A polishing method of a focused Ga+ ion beam was used to obtain an ideal sample surface with very low roughness, wh...
