Micro-Melt® NeutroSorb Plus® 

Micro-Melt® NeutroSorb Plus® alloys are similar to conventional Type 304 stainless except that they contain a boron addition which imparts a much higher thermal neutron absorption cross section than other austenitic stainless steels. Micro-Melt® NeutroSorb Plus® alloys are available with boron levels up to 2.25% as specified by customer requirements. Increasing boron content increases the thermal neutron absorption capability of the alloys. Increasing boron content also increases hardness, tensile strength and yield strength, but decreased tensile ductility, impact toughness and corrosion resistance.
