Özet

The radiation shielding properties of the Co – Cr – Mo alloy subjected to the boriding process at different boriding temperatures and times in Ekabor HM and Ekabor III boron sources were investigated. It was found that although the boriding process slightly increases the linear attenuation coefficient, which represents radiation shielding, this increase, averaging 1 – 4%, is much lower compared to the values obtained for other materials. It was concluded that the Co – Cr – Mo alloys, which have high mechanical properties after boriding, do not satisfy the radiation shielding characteristics either before or after boriding.
