Description

A kind of norbide neutron absorber
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of neutron absorber for absorbing stray neutron, the cartridge that espespecially a kind of, originate wide raw material low by cost is made also realizes not affecting the detection of detector and in radial neutron howitzer, absorbing a kind of norbide neutron absorber of stray neutron target.
Background technology
Neutron and X-ray are all the powerful measure that the mankind explore material microstructure, neutron is not charged, there is magnetic moment, penetrance is strong, light element can be differentiated, isotropic substance and neighbour's element, and have the nondestructive feature to sample, therefore neutron not only can explore the static microtexture of material, its kinetic mechanism can also be studied, at present, Neutron scattering technology is at biology, life, the research fields such as medicine play the effect that X-ray cannot replace, Neutron scattering technology carries out in neutron spectrometer, for the raising of the performance perameters such as the normal operation of neutron spectrometer and the resolving power of spectrometer, neutron howitzer as one of its key part plays an important role.
One of Main Function of radial neutron howitzer is exactly the loss of the neutron being reduced by collimator internal cavity, and the method realizing this effect vacuumizes or pass in cavity certain atmosphere surrounding (helium or argon gas) at cavity; Its another main method utilizes the neutron absorber be attached on collimator inwall to absorb background neutron, therefore to ensure that the vacuum deformation of cavity can't impact the attachment of neutron absorber, and inserted sheet can not be caused to depart from physical plane, stop effective neutron.
Conventional neutron absorber material comprises boron, gadolinium and cadmium etc., because the position sensitive detector of majority is more weak for the separating capacity of neutron and gamma ray, the nuclear reaction of neutron and gadolinium element is mainly n-gamma reaction, absorb neutron and release gamma ray, be unfavorable for the neutron detection of back-end location sensitive detector, and the nuclear reaction of neutron and boron is mainly n-alpha reaction, a lot of unfavorable factors can't be brought to the detection of detector, boron carbide material therefore can be selected as the neutron absorber material of radial neutron howitzer.
Conventional neutron absorber has boron carbide ceramics plate, norbide-aluminum composite plate, boron carbide powder colloid mixture is cold-pressed into template and boron carbide powder painting mode etc., but, boron carbide powder colloid mixture is cold-pressed into template and contains more epoxies colloid, form containing more hydrogen and oxygen element, cause spuious scattering; The mode of boron carbide powder painting needs to introduce epoxies colloid equally, and thickness is restricted, and easily loses efficacy by irradiation; Aluminium base boron carbide composite material, boron carbide ceramics material Weldability are still to be tested, the norbide content simultaneously adulterated is few, same restricted in thickness requirement, and present stage such material price costly, and the neutron absorber that fully can absorb stray neutron in collimator inside of the batch production that generally needs from external import, therefore need a kind of price appropriateness, is convenient to.
Summary of the invention
For solving the problem, the present invention is intended to openly a kind of neutron absorber for absorbing stray neutron, and the cartridge that espespecially a kind of, originate wide raw material low by cost is made also realizes not affecting the detection of detector and in radial neutron howitzer, absorbing a kind of norbide neutron absorber of stray neutron target.
For achieving the above object, the technical solution used in the present invention is: a kind of norbide neutron absorber, the raw material of described norbide neutron absorber mainly comprises boron carbide powder, colloid and solidifying agent, described colloid and the content ratio of solidifying agent are 5:2, and the ratio range of colloidal content and boron carbide powder content is 1:19-1:4.
Described norbide neutron absorber mainly comprises 70-85 part boron carbide powder, 4.5-17.5 part colloid and 1.8-7 part solidifying agent.
Have coarse grain powder in described boron carbide powder, the size range of coarse grain powder is 450-500 μm.
Have particulate powders in described boron carbide powder, the size range of particulate powders is 60-120 μm.
Described boron carbide powder to be mixed with the particulate powders of 15%-22% content by the coarse grain powder of 78%-85% content and forms.
Described norbide neutron absorber can casting be square, or be spherical shape.
Prepare a kind of norbide neutron absorber, the content ratio of described boron carbide powder, colloid and solidifying agent is 45:5:2, and the content ratio that is thick, particulate powders wherein in boron carbide powder is 4:1.
Norbide neutron absorber described in preparation comprises 81 parts of boron carbide powders, 9 parts of colloids and 3.6 parts of solidifying agent, and the coarse grain powder wherein in boron carbide powder is 64.8 parts, and particulate powders is 16.2 parts.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is: norbide neutron absorber of the present invention is mainly used in being attached to radial neutron howitzer inwall to absorb stray neutron, its raw material mainly includes boron carbide powder, colloid and solidifying agent, overcome the defect that too much protium affects neutron-absorbing, make can obtain the abundant stop of neutron absorber and absorb during the scattering of neutrons of collimator inside, the present invention selects to adopt 4.5-17.5 part colloid mixing 70-85 part boron carbide powder, both the composition of protium had been controlled, the thickness of norbide neutron absorber can be made again to reach controllability effect, both can reach the object not affecting neutron-absorbing, colloid and boron carbide powder can be made again to stir, again because the collocation of norbide coarse grain powder and norbide particulate powders controls, protium is reduced, form because adopting the coarse grained boron carbide powder of 78%-82% to mix with the fine grain boron carbide powder of 18%-22%, the colloid of boron carbide powder and low levels is made fully to stir rightly, while being conducive to stirring, more can reach effect shaping smoothly.
The raw material of norbide neutron absorber of the present invention easily obtains, the formula adopted solves the problem that protium affects neutron-absorbing, and cost reduces greatly, overcome the boron carbide ceramics material price of present stage use costly, the shortcoming of the more difficult acquisition of raw material, and the norbide neutron absorber of gained of the present invention can reach effect that boron carbide ceramics material can reach or reach better effect, the neutron-absorbing body thickness prepared as boron carbide ceramics material is generally 4mm, and the neutron-absorbing body thickness of formula preparation of the present invention is generally 8mm, but cost of material of the present invention is boron carbide ceramics material 1/10th, therefore the present invention a kind ofly can be mass widespread use and can bring the neutron absorber of long-term economic benefit.
