Abstract: Aluminum powder, neutron absorber, and third particle composed of oxide, nitride, carbide or boride are mixed, and preformed by cold isostatic pressing (CIP). Successively, by canning the preformed material, this preformed material is sintered by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). After sintering, the can outside and end face are machined by grinding, and the billet is taken out. Square pipes are formed by extruding this billet.
