To qualify for nuclear applications, materials must meet specific criteria, including mechanical properties, high-temperature behavior, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature oxidation resistance. High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are particularly suitable for these applications due to their unique properties. Consequently, we conducted a theoretical and simulation-based approaches to assess some critical properties including radiation shielding properties of some quinary FeNiCoCr HEAs. In this study, we focused on quinary FeNiCoCr HEAs, whose corrosion properties have been previously examined in the literature. We investigated the thermodynamic and radiation shielding properties of HEAs with sixteen different compositions. Our methodology included evaluating thermodynamic parameters such as Mixing Entropy (∆Smix) and Mixing Enthalpy (∆Hmix), as well as structural characteristics like Valence Electron Concentration (VEC) and Atomic Size Difference (δ). This allowed us to systematically deduce the phase behavior and stability of various HEAs. Through computational modeling, we assessed the radiation shielding capabilities of these alloys, particularly their effectiveness in attenuating gamma ray and fast neutrons. The results identified FeNiCoCrW as the alloy with the lowest fast neutron removal cross-section values, highlighting its potential for nuclear applications. Its high melting point and the synergistic interplay between its elemental composition and thermodynamic properties suggest broad applicability in extreme environments. Thus, FeNiCoCrW emerges as a promising HEA with multifunctional capabilities, warranting further exploration and potential integration into advanced engineering solutions.

This study explores the gamma-ray and neutron transmission properties of β-Titanium alloys pivotal for their performance in nuclear and biomedical applications. Utilizing the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP 6.3) simulations, we analyzed a spectrum of Ti-based alloys modified with elements like molybdenum (Mo), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), and hafnium (Hf) to determine their radiation attenuation properties. Key parameters such as mass and linear attenuation coefficients, half-value layers, exposure buildup factors, and fast neutron effective removal cross-section values were computed, revealing significant enhancements in attenuation with the addition of high-Z elements. Specifically, alloys like Ti50Hf50 and (TiZr)40Cu60 exhibited superior photon and fast neutron attenuation due to their high-Z constituents. For instance, Ti50Hf50 showed a mass attenuation coefficient of 0.217 cm2/g and a half-value layer of 2.97-cm at 0.1 MeV photon energy, while (TiZr)40Cu60 demonstrated similar performance with a mass attenuation coefficient of 0.198 cm2/g and a half-value layer of 3.26-cm. These alloys also exhibited effective neutron removal cross-section values of 0.115 cm-1 and 0.130 cm-1, respectively. Alloys with lower-Z elements showed less attenuation, which may be beneficial in scenarios requiring reduced radiographic contrast in biomedical applications. The MCNP outcomes were in strong agreement with standard data, affirming the accuracy of computational methods in predicting material behavior. In conclusion, tailored alloy development is crucial for improving radiation shielding and diagnostic visualization, with broader implications for patient safety and treatment efficacy.
