NIBSORB?: A coating for the production of absorber elements subjected to corrosion

NIBSORB technology stands for an application-specific process for the production of absorber elements. An electrolytic plating process is used to incorporate the neutron poison boron carbide very homogenously and in high concentration into a thick nickel coating. Highly absorbent and corrosion-resistant coatings can be achieved in this way. Applied to base materials of any shape and size, these coatings allow absorbers to be developed which are carefully tailored to the requirements in any given case.
