From conference on physical metallurgy of uranium alloys; Vail, Colorado, USA (12 Feb 1974). A review of the state of the art is presented on the fabrication and properties of U-rich alloys in which the alloying elements are highly miscible in gamma -U (Nb, Zr, Ti, Mo). Processing of both low alloys (which will not retain a metastable gamma phase when quenched) and high alloys (which will retain a metastable gamma phase, usually greater than 6% Mo or Nb) is treated. Forging, extrusion, deep drawing, shear spinning, single-point turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and electrical discharge machining are discussed. Heat treatments (metastable, solution treatment, age hardening) to yield the desired mechanical properties are also discussed. (18 figures, 6 tables, 57 references) (DLC).
Uranium Processing and Properties describes developments in uranium science, engineering and processing and covers a broad spectrum of topics and applications in which these technologies are harnessed. This book offers the most up-to-date knowledge on emerging nuclear technologies and applications while also covering new and established practices for working with uranium supplies. The book also aims to provide insights into current research and processing technology developments in order to stimulate and motivate innovation among readers. Topics covered include casting technology, plate and sheet rolling, machining of uranium and uranium alloys, forming and fabrication techniques, corrosion kinetics, nondestructive evaluation and thermal modeling.
This chapter presents the highlights of the fabrication and heat treatment of uranium with emphasis on HAPO type core material. For pile use three properties of uranium are of prime interest; grain size, type and degree of preferred orientation, and the mechanical properties.
