In this work, the technology of Al-Gd alloys production has been developed, in which gadolinium is added as an alloying element during induction melting or in the composition of Gd2O3 disperse particles in the complex use of powder metallurgy and foundry technologies. The design of Vibration-jet agitator (VJA) and technology of its use for introduction of disperse particles into aluminum melts were developed. Aluminum alloys and dispersion-strengthened composites containing gadolinium have been obtained, their structure and neutron absorption properties has been studied.
