ABSTRACT: Cobalt-free alloy of constituent’s “0.045%C-12.73%Ni-6.53%Cr-3.2%Mo-0.02%Ti-0.01%V” has been
prepared by electro slag remelting technique. Mass attenuation coefficient, half value layer and
effective atomic number have been determined for the prepared sample at photon energies 235 -
2700 keV. The results are compared with the corresponding theoretical calculations based on
XCOM program and a fair agreement is obtained.
