Boron Products, LLC has produced a true alloy incorporating boron as a second phase in standard
aluminum compositions. Current programs utilize one of two alloys in several spent fuel storage and
transportation applications. Non-structural applications typically use 1100 alloy + boron which are
available in a variety of sheet and plate forms. Applications requiring structural alloys most
frequently use 6351 + boron that combines the neutron absorption of 10B with the strength and
thermal conductivity of a standard alloy.
