Abstract

An aluminium alloy with superior thermal neutron absorptivity contains 0.2-30 wt. % of Gd. An aluminium alloy for an wrought material with high-temperature strength contains 0.2-20 wt. % of Gd and 0.5-6 wt. % of Mg. An aluminium alloy for casting contains 0.2-10 wt. % of Gd and 6-12 wt. % of Si.
