neutron absorption

neutron absorptionCeradyne recently formed a manufacturing division that offers two leading materials for neutron absorption applications: BORAL® and Aluminum/Boron Carbide Metal Matrix Composite (AL/B4C MMC). Our new division, Ceradyne Canada, is based in Chicoutimi, Quebec and is the result of two acquisitions: BORAL® purchased from AAR Manufacturing Company in Livonia, Michigan and the former Alumiform plant in Chicoutimi. Ceradyne Canada is also extruding and rolling MMC shapes using a proprietary MMC cast AL/B4C material.

Ceradyne’s BORAL® and AL/B4C MMC products provide market leading performance for neutron absorption in both wet and dry spent nuclear fuel storage and/or transport applications.

BORAL®
BORAL® has the longest continuous service history of any neutron absorbing material.

Aluminum/Boron Carbide MMC
New dense and high thermal conductivity composite to absorb neutrons in both wet and dry nuclear storage applications.

Boron Products
Ceradyne Boron Products supplies neutron absorbing and reflecting components in materials utilizing enriched 10Boron and 11Boron isotopes.
