Titanium Diboride

Superior Neutron Shielding, Durability, and Thermal Efficiency

TITANIUM DIBORIDE

Bhukhanvala Industries TiB₂–B₄C Composite Neutron Shielding Rods are critical components in nuclear reactors and other facilities handling radioactive materials. Their role is to absorb neutrons, preventing them from interacting with the surrounding environment. While materials like boron carbide (B₄C) have excellent neutron absorption properties, materials like TiB₂–B₄C composites have additional advantages.

Enhanced Neutron Shielding: The high neutron absorption of B₄C is complemented by the moderate absorption of TiB₂, leading to a potentially stronger overall shielding effect.
Improved Mechanical Strength: The robust structure of TiB₂ can help mitigate the brittleness of B₄C, creating a more durable composite rod.
Thermal Management: The good thermal conductivity of TiB₄ can aid in heat dissipation generated by neutron absorption within the B₄C.
