Effect of Gadolinium Addition on Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Titanium Alloys for Spent Fuel Storage and Neutron Shielding
Journal of Rare Earths(2024)
Abstract
Ti-Gd alloys with Gd contents of 2 wt%–8 wt% were prepared, and the influence of Gd content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, neutron absorption property and density of the alloy weas investigated. The microstructure changes from full lamellar α phase to fine equiaxed crystals, and the area fraction of Gd-rich phase decreases from 3.2% to 1.8% and then increases to 9.1%. Gd has three existing forms: pure Gd, compound oxide of Gd2TiO5 and/or Gd2O3 and solidifies in the Ti matrix. Ti-4Gd exhibits the best mechanical properties, its tensile strength and elongation is 102 MPa and 49%, respectively. The neutron transmittancy of Ti-8Gd alloy in water is the lowest, which is 3.75%. The corrosion rate of Ti-Gd alloy is 0.00097–0.00238 mm/a, which meets the corrosion standard of small-scale nuclear reactors and containers for spent fuel.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
