Development of Gd-Si-O dispersed 316L stainless steel for improving neutron shielding performance

The low solubility of gadolinium (Gd) limits its application in iron-based neutron shielding alloys. In this study, a high content of Gd up to 7.87 wt.% was added into 316L stainless steel by mechanical alloying (MA) of Gd2O3 with 316L powder. Neutronics calculation results showed that the shielding...
