High performance Aluminum matrix composite for radiation shielding

Abstract
Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (Al-MMCs) reinforced with ceramic particles have garnered considerable attention due to their unique combination of low density, high mechanical strength, and good ductility. In this study, Al-MMCs reinforced with zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) particles were fabricated via the stir casting technique to evaluate their gamma-ray (γ-ray) shielding capabilities. Three...
