  • Processable high thermal neutron absorbing Fe-base alloy powder
    Patent number: 9267192
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant, neutron absorbing, austenitic alloy powder is disclosed having the following composition in weight percent. C 0.08 max. Mn up to 3 Si up to 2 P 0.05 max. S 0.03 max. Cr 17-27 Ni 11-20 Mo + (W/1.92) ??up to 5.2 BEq 0.78-13.0 O ?0.1 max. N ??up to 0.2 Y less than 0.005 The alloy contains at least about 0.25% B, at least about 0.05% Gd, and the balance of the alloy composition is iron and usual impurities. BEq is defined as % B+4.35×(% Gd). An article of manufacture made from consolidated alloy powder is also disclosed which is characterized by a plurality of boride and gadolinide particles dispersed within a matrix. The boride and gadolinide particles are predominantly M2B, M3B2, M3X, and M5X in form, where X is gadolinium or a combination of gadolinium and boron and M is one or more of the elements silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, iron.
