Avec le développement des techniques nucléaires, de nombreuses recherches ont été menées à travers le monde pour concevoir et fabriquer des absorbeurs de radiations efficaces et compétitifs. Pour atteindre ce but, il faut que les matériaux mis en oeuvre pour les réaliser répondent aux critères suivants :

Parmi tous les matériaux utilisés pour absorber les neutrons, les plus connus sont le cadmium, la samarium, l'europium, le bore et le gadolinium.Among all the materials used to absorb neutrons, the best known are cadmium, samarium, europium, boron and gadolinium.
Le cadmium a l'inconvénient d'être un produit très toxique et d'avoir une température de fusion (321°C) et une température d'ébullition (765°C) très basses. Le samarium et l'europium n'ont pratiquement pas donné lieu à un développement industriel à cause de leur prix trop élevé.Cadmium has the disadvantage of being a very toxic product and of having a very low melting temperature (321 ° C) and a boiling temperature (765 ° C). The samarium and europium have practically not given rise to industrial development because of their too high price.
Le plus largement répandu d'entre eux est le bore qui est utilisé sous différentes formes : bore élémentaire, borures, carbure de bore, acide borique, etc... D'ailleurs, de nombreux brevets ont été déposés à ce sujet. Toutefois, ce matériau a de très mauvaises propriétés mécaniques et doit être fortement dilué dans une matrice métallique telle que l'alumi nium, par exemple, afin d'acquérir les qualités nécessaires pour pouvoir prendre la forme requise par chaque type d'absorbeur. Mais ainsi, son pouvoir absorbant se trouve grandement diminué et doit être compensé par une augmentation du volume de matériau utilisé ce qui, en définitive, élève sensiblement le prix de l'absorbeur. De toute façon, le bore étant pratiquement insoluble dans l'aluminium, le matériau obtenu est un produit composite dont la réalisation nécessite de recourir à des procédés de fabrication très élaborés si on veut obtenir une dispersion régulière du bore dans la matrice d'aluminium et éviter une hétérogénéité de la capacité d'absorption.The most widely used of these is boron, which is used in different forms: elemental boron, borides, boron carbide, boric acid, etc. Besides, numerous patents have been filed on this subject. However, this material has very poor mechanical properties and must be strongly diluted in a metallic matrix such as aluminum, for example, in order to acquire the qualities necessary to be able to take the shape required by each type of absorber. But thus, its absorbency is greatly reduced and must be compensated by an increase in the volume of material used which, ultimately, significantly increases the price of the absorber. In any case, since the boron is practically insoluble in aluminum, the material obtained is a composite product, the production of which requires the use of very elaborate manufacturing processes if it is desired to obtain a regular dispersion of the boron in the aluminum matrix and avoid heterogeneity of absorption capacity.
Le gadolinium et son oxyde sont déjà utilisés depuis de nombreuses années dans diverses installations nucléaires où, mélangés au combustible, ils jouent le rôle de modérateurs. Mais, leur application à la confection d'absorbeurs de radiation pose des problèmes.Gadolinium and its oxide have already been used for many years in various nuclear installations where, mixed with the fuel, they act as moderators. However, their application to the manufacture of radiation absorbers poses problems.
En ce qui concerne l'oxide, généralement disponible sous forme de poudre, il doit être mélangé à d'autres produits en utilisant des technologies très complexes et ses propriétés mécaniques très mauvaises rendent son application, lors de la réalisation d'absorbeurs de forme complexe, à la fois délicate et coûteuse. De plus, cet oxyde a une mauvaise conductibilité thermique et sa capacité d'absorption est relativement réduite par rapport à celle du gadolinium élémentaire.Regarding the oxide, generally available in powder form, it must be mixed with other products using very complex technologies and its very poor mechanical properties make its application when producing absorbers of complex shape. , both delicate and expensive. In addition, this oxide has poor thermal conductivity and its absorption capacity is relatively reduced compared to that of elementary gadolinium.
Quant au métal lui-même, son prix reste élevé et sa mise en oeuvre difficile à cause de sa très grande oxydabilité.As for the metal itself, its price remains high and its implementation difficult because of its very high oxidability.
Cependant, le gadolinium présente dans le spectre de neutrons lents la section efficace de capture la plus élevée de tous les absorbeurs connus. Notamment, comparée au bore, sa section pour des neutrons thermiques d'énergie 10-2 eV est 100 fois plus grande. Quant aux neutrons rapides, son efficacité est aussi bonne que celle du bore.However, gadolinium has the highest capture cross section of all known absorbers in the slow neutron spectrum. In particular, compared to boron, its cross-section for thermal neutrons of energy 10 -2 eV is 100 times greater. As for fast neutrons, its efficiency is as good as that of boron.
C'est pourquoi la demanderesse, consciente de l'intérêt du gadolinium, mais aussi de ses inconvénients, a cherché et trouvé le moyen d'en faire des absorbeurs de radiation nucléaires intéressants.This is why the plaintiff, aware of the interest of gadolinium, but also of its drawbacks, has sought and found a way to make it attractive nuclear radiation absorbers.
Cet absorbeur est caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par un alliage de gadolinium avec un aluminium choisi dans le groupe comprenant l'aluminium pur, l'aluminium allié, l'aluminium pur ou allié contenant une phase dispersée.This absorber is characterized in that it consists of an alloy of gadolinium with an aluminum chosen from the group comprising pure aluminum, alloyed aluminum, pure or alloyed aluminum containing a dispersed phase.
Il s'agit donc d'un alliage à base de gadolinium et d'aluminium dans lequel la proportion de gadolinium se situe entre 0,05 % et 70 % en poids. En-dessous de 0,05 % l'effet absorbant s'avère trop réduit et au-dessus de 70 % se produisent des difficultés d'élaboration de l'alliage. De préférence, cette fourchette se situe entre 0,1 et 15 % et dépend de la nature et du flux de radiations à absorber.It is therefore an alloy based on gadolinium and aluminum in which the proportion of gadolinium is between 0.05% and 70% by weight. Below 0.05% the absorbent effect proves to be too reduced and above 70% there are difficulties in developing the alloy. Preferably, this range is between 0.1 and 15% and depends on the nature and the flux of radiation to be absorbed.
L'aluminium utilisé peut. être pur soit qu'il ait été raffiné par un moyen quelconque tel que l'électrolyse trois couches ou la cristallisation fractionnée ou simplement tel qu'il est recueilli à la sortie des cuves d'électrolyse avec ses impuretés habituelles comme le fer et le silicium.The aluminum used can. be pure either because it has been refined by any means such as three-layer electrolysis or fractional crystallization or simply as it is collected at the outlet of the electrolysis cells with its usual impurities such as iron and silicon .
Mais cet aluminium peut aussi être un alliage classique tel que ceux désignés par les nombres 1000, 5000 et 6000 dans les normes de l'Aluminium Association, ce qui permet de renforcer les propriétés mécaniques des absorbeurs obtenus, ou encore un alliage d'aluminium avec au moins un autre métal ayant également des qualités absorbantes tel que le cadmium, le samarium, l'europium, le lithium, l'hafnium, le tantale, ces derniers alliages pouvant également être obtenus à partir d'alliage des types 1000, 5000 et 6000.But this aluminum can also be a conventional alloy such as those designated by the numbers 1000, 5000 and 6000 in the standards of the Aluminum Association, which makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical properties of the absorbers obtained, or alternatively an aluminum alloy with at least one other metal also having absorbent qualities such as cadmium, samarium, europium, lithium, hafnium, tantalum, the latter alloys can also be obtained from alloys of types 1000, 5000 and 6000.
De plus, l'aluminium allié ou non peut contenir une phase dispersée telle que des fibres de carbone ou autres destinées à renforcer la tenue mécanique des absorbeurs, ou encore, combiné ou non à ces fibres, un produit absorbant des radiations tel que, par exemple, le bore et ses dérivés qui peut représenter jusqu'à 30 % de la masse d'aluminium mise en oeuvre.In addition, aluminum, alloyed or not, may contain a dispersed phase such as carbon fibers or the like intended to reinforce the mechanical strength of the absorbers, or alternatively, combined or not with these fibers, a product absorbing radiation such as, for example. example, boron and its derivatives which can represent ter up to 30% of the mass of aluminum used.
Les alliages de gadolinium-aluminium ainsi réalisés permettent, en raison de leurs bonnes propriétés mécaniques, d'être facilement transformés en absorbeurs de forme quelconque par l'un au moins des procédés de fabrication choisi parmi le moulage, que ce soit en sable, en coquille, sous basse ou haute pression, le laminage à chaud ou à froid, l'extrusion et le forgeage.The gadolinium-aluminum alloys thus produced allow, due to their good mechanical properties, to be easily transformed into absorbers of any shape by at least one of the manufacturing processes chosen from molding, whether in sand, in shell, under low or high pressure, hot or cold rolling, extrusion and forging.
Ces alliages donnent des structures parfaitement homogènes avec des sections efficaces de capture très régulières. De plus, leur densité, qui est variable en fonction du pourcentage de Gd donne, pour des teneurs en Gd allant jusqu'à 30 % en poids, une valeur proche de celle de l'aluminium, ce qui permet la réalisation de barrières neutroniques très légères. Le Tableau donne des valeurs de densité pour deux alliages binaires AI-Gd, l'un à 11 % de Gd, l'autre à 23 % de Gd.
Le matrice aluminium confère aux produits finis une excellente conductibilité thermique (de 120 à 180 W/mo K2 suivant la matrice aluminium choisie) permettant ainsi d'évacuer rapidement la chaleur créée par l'absorption vers des systèmes refroidisseurs extérieurs.The aluminum matrix gives finished products excellent thermal conductivity (from 120 to 180 W / m o K 2 depending on the aluminum matrix chosen), thus allowing the heat created by absorption to be quickly dissipated towards external cooling systems.
Le point de début de fusion des alliages AI-Gd testés est très élevé, dans la plupart des cas supérieur à 620°C; cette caractéristique permet aux barrières neutroniques ainsi fabriquées de supporter aisément l'échauffement provoqué par l'absorption des neutrons ou d'autres rayonnements.The starting point of melting of the AI-Gd alloys tested is very high, in most cases greater than 620 ° C; this characteristic allows the neutron barriers thus manufactured to easily withstand the heating caused by the absorption of neutrons or other radiation.
La masse atomique de Gd étant très élevée (156,9 g), les rayons y et X notamment sont fortement absorbés.The atomic mass of Gd being very high (156.9 g), the rays y and X in particular are strongly absorbed.
La résistance à la corrosion, d'une manière générale, n'est pas ou peu affectée par la présence de gadolinium, et les propriétés de corrosion sont proches de celles des matrices aluminium utilisées. Les alliages de série 1000, 5000 et 60 résentent une excellente tenue à la corrosion contre les agents atmosphériques ou en atmosphère marineCette tenue peut encore être améliorée par des traitements de surface appropriés (anodisation, alodin, peinture, revêtements plastiques).Corrosion resistance, in general, is not or little affected by the presence of gadolinium, and the corrosion properties are close to those of the aluminum matrices used. The alloys of the 1000, 5000 and 60 series have excellent resistance to corrosion against atmospheric agents or in a marine atmosphere. This resistance can be further improved by suitable surface treatments (anodization, alodin, paint, plastic coatings).
Les caractéristiques mécaniques sont élevées et sont fonction de la matrice aluminium choisie. Dans le cas d'alliages aluminium-gadolinium binaires, les propriétés mécaniques varient avec la teneur en gadolinium; le tableau Il donne des résultats obtenus sur alliages moulés, l'un avec une teneur en Gd de 12 % en poids, l'autre avec un pourcentage pondéral de 25 %.
Le Tableau III présente les résultats obtenus sur alliages laminés à 11% de Gd en poids.
L'usinage de ces alliages métalliques ne pose aucun problème, les paramètres et les vitesses de travail à prendre en compte étant les mêmes que celles généralement utilisées pour les alliages d'aluminium.The machining of these metal alloys poses no problem, the parameters and the working speeds to be taken into account being the same as those generally used for aluminum alloys.
Les applications de cette invention sont multiples et touchent tous les domaines où un problème d'absorption de rayonnement se pose (neutrons, rayons y, rayons X, que ces domaines soient militaires ou civils.The applications of this invention are multiple and touch all the fields where a problem of absorption of radiation arises (neutrons, y rays, X rays, whether these fields are military or civil.
A titre d'exemples d'application on peut citer : les paniers de transport et de stockage de déchets nucléaires, les racks de piscine pour le stockage des éléments combustibles de réacteurs nucléaires, le blindage d'installation de décontamination, le blindage de véhicules militaires, les abris anti-atomiques, les éléments de réacteurs nucléaires, le blindage d'appareils de contrôle utilisant des rayonnements ou des sources radioactives, etc... Cette liste ne saurait en aucun cas être limitative.Examples of applications include: baskets for transporting and storing nuclear waste, pool racks for storing the fuel elements of nuclear reactors, shielding decontamination installations, shielding military vehicles , atomic shelters, nuclear reactor components, the shielding of control devices using radiation or radioactive sources, etc. This list cannot in any way be limiting.
