Abstract

A new type of austenitic stainless-steel composite with different B/Ti atomic ratios and Al contents have been fabricated by in situ synthesis techniques. The effects of the B/Ti atomic ratio and Al content on the microstructure and properties of the composites were investigated. All the designed composites with high B content (2.0 to 2.5 wt pct) had excellent hot workability. The new composite was mainly composed of austenite matrix, long strip-shaped (Fe,Cr)2B boride and a tremendous amount of dispersedly distributed TiB2 particles after hot rolling and annealing. The total elongation and ultimate tensile strength of the composite with a B/Ti atomic ratio of 1.77 were 9.12 pct and 758 MPa, respectively, and this positive result was mainly due to the formation of TiB2 particles avoiding the network distribution of (Fe,Cr)2B boride. The corrosion resistance in boric acid solution and shielding properties were also evaluated, and these austenitic stainless-steel composites are expected to be outstanding materials for neutron absorption.
