Abstract

1321092 Uranium based alloys COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE 21 Aug 1970 [2 Sept 1969] 40320/70 Headings C7A and C7D [Also in Divisions B3 and G6] An alloy consists in per cent by weight of: one metal from: and optionally the remainder being U and impurities. Preparation may be by melting the constituents except the carbon by induction under a pressure of 10<SP>-4</SP> - 10<SP>-5</SP> torr. The carbon may be introduced by means of a carbide of one of the metal constituents, as CO 2 or by melting in a porous lined carbon crucible at 1350-1500‹C. for a time sufficient to yield the desired carbon content, at 10<SP>-4</SP> torr, and then pouring at below 10<SP>-3</SP> torr into refractory lined pre-heated moulds. Cooling at 15-50‹C. to below 750‹C. is preferred, either in the treatment furnace or after reheating in a salt bath or by induction.
