Abstract

In this paper, the aluminum borate whisker (ABOw) and BaPbO3 particles (BPOp)/Al hybrid composite with radiation protection function was fabricated by squeeze casting technique. The microstructure and properties of the hybrid composite were investigated. The test results show that BPOp and aluminum matrix have a reaction, and this reaction forms a coating on the surface of ABOw. The introduction of BPOp increases radiation protection function of the matrix evidently, at the same time, the hybrid composite has better mechanical properties compared with the aluminum matrix and ABOw/Al composite.
