Would anyone in Radsafe have some details on
the shielding material Boral, that they could please send me ?
From my Handbook of Composite Materials, I have been
able to find that its almost certainly a metal matrix composite, with aluminum
as the matrix material, with some form of boron (particles or fibers) embedded
in it. According to the brief description, its supposedly a desirable type of
shielding due to its high strength and low thermal expansion coefficient. But it
doesn't even mention the name Boral -- presumably a commercial trade mark
?
Thanks very much, in advance.
