Abstract: Based on the good shielding performance of B₄C and W against neutrons and gamma rays, a new type of double shielding (B₄C-W)/6061Al laminated composite was designed by using 6061 aluminum alloy as matrix. The composite was prepared by spark plasma sintering and then heated and rolled into a plate. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the prepared composite were studied. The results show that the shielding component B₄C and W particles are uniformly distributed in the 6061Al matrix, and the interlayer interface, B₄C/Al, and W/Al heterogeneous interface are well bonded without voids and cracks. The diffusion layers are formed at the interface between the particles and the matrix, and the thickness of the diffusion layers are about 6 μm (W/Al) and 4 μm (W/Al). The yield strength (109 MPa) and ultimate tensile strength (245 MPa) of the rolled (B₄C-W)/6061Al laminated composite are significantly better than those of the sintered (B₄C-W)/6061Al laminated composite, but the fracture toughness is reduced. The main reasons for the increase of strength are the secondary distribution and uniformity of particles and the interface bonding strength is increased after rolling, and the grain size of the matrix alloy decreases and the dislocation density increases. The fracture modes of the composite are ductile fracture of matrix alloy and brittle fracture of the particles.
