This study investigates the design and experimental evaluation of Fe–B–Si-based bilayer composites engineered for dual shielding against gamma rays and thermal neutrons. The materials integrate a boron-enriched amorphous Fe matrix with surface coatings of high-Z fillers—lead (Pb) and tungsten (W)—dispersed in an epoxy resin. W or Pb powders (20–40 µm) were dispersed in epoxy resin at a high filler loading (60–70 wt% metal, approximately several tens to one by weight). This ensured a dense and uniform coating structure. The metallic fillers were high-purity (≥99.9%) powders. Gamma-ray attenuation was examined using 137Cs and 60Co sources at photon energies of 661.7, 1173, and 1332 keV, while thermal neutron shielding was assessed with a moderated Am-Be neutron source. The effects of boron concentration (13–21 at%) in the matrix and coating thickness (80–400 μm) were systematically evaluated. Increasing boron content markedly enhanced thermal neutron attenuation, reaching up to 29%, whereas Pb- and W-filled coatings achieved more than 85% gamma-ray attenuation at 661.7 keV. All measurements were repeated three times; standard deviations were below 2% across conditions, confirming reproducibility and indirectly indicating uniform coating dispersion. At 661.7 keV, the half-value and tenth-value layers (HVL/TVL) were derived from the measured linear attenuation coefficients to benchmark performance. Notably, W coatings delivered shielding efficiency comparable to Pb while offering advantages in environmental safety, mechanical robustness, and regulatory compliance. These results highlight the potential of Fe–B–Si bilayer composites as lightweight, scalable, and lead-free shielding materials for aerospace electronics, portable radiation protection devices, and modular panels for satellites and nuclear facilities.
