Abstract

Uranium-carbon alloys are prepared by contacting molten uranium with carbon at 1800-2000 DEG C. for 30 mins. Uranium may be melted and transferred to a carbon crucible, the crucible and melt is maintained at the desired temperature for the desired time, and the melt may be stirred. Depending on the increased temperature in the range, the carbon content increases, and may be up to 9%. Alternatively, powdered uranium and carbon are mixed and pressed into blocks at 20-50 tons/sq. in. The blocks are heated at the desired temperature in a beryllia, or zirconia, crucible, or in a graphite crucible on a false bottom of U2C3.ALSO:Uraniumcarbon alloys are prepared by contacting molten uranium with carbon at 1800-2000 DEG C. for 30 minutes.
