Fuzzy Logıc Approach in the Evaluation of Radiation Shielding Behavıour of Borided Co-Cr-Mo Alloy

The present study investigates the radiation shielding behaviour of borided Co-Cr-Mo alloys. The investigation is conducted by utilising a fuzzy logic model, which is employed to analyse the relationship between the boriding temperature and boron content of the boriding powder. In order to achieve this objective, the linear attenuation coefficients of borided alloys were measured as a function of boriding temperature and boron content. Subsequently, a fuzzy logic model was applied to these measured values. The findings demonstrated that the outcomes derived from the measured and fuzzy logic methods exhibited strong concordance. The linear attenuation coefficient is contingent upon the boriding temperature and the boron content. Furthermore, the variation of the linear attenuation coefficient with boriding temperature is more significant than its variation with the boron content. It was concluded that the fuzzy logic model can be used to predict the radiation shielding behaviour of borided Co-Cr-Mo alloys without the need for further experimentation, even under conditions that have not yet been tested. The present study will contribute to the selection and development of radiation shielding materials by demonstrating practical applications of fuzzy logic.
