Computer Simulation for Shielding Properties of SiC and TiC Reinforced Composites

Abstract

Composites are important materials and can be produced adding different types of materials on it. These are used in different kind of purposes and also radiation shielding purposes. In this study composites where SiC and TiC added, were produced and radiation shielding performance were investigated. The produced composites were formulated as (95-x) Al–5SiC–xTiC where x = 0, 5,10,15,20 (wt%). The results show that by increasing the TiC rate on composite from S-0 to S-20, the ascending trend is observed for the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC, cm− 1) of the studied composites, and the best shielding performance is seen for S-20.
