In recent years, the research of boron carbide aluminum composite material is more extensive, aluminum raw materials are widely available, the price is cheap, and the composite material with boron carbide has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and high toughness. 

Boron carbide - aluminum composite material has good neutron shielding properties and resistance to elastic energy, the neutron protection device Armor materials and special purpose protection has been widely applied, especially in the field of nuclear power, with the development of China's nuclear power industry and the demand of the transport of spent fuel storage autonomous localization, BC/AL composite materials because of their excellent performance is more and more attention.
