Definitions

  • This invention relates to the quenching of metals, and more particularly to a novel method of quenching zirconium and alloys thereof to inhibit the formation of blocky alpha structure during subsequent heating into the alpha temperature region.
  • the blocky alpha structure has properties which are different from the interior of the material, and is therefore objectionable, requiring removal of the blocky alpha layer by machining, grinding, etc.
  • the time involved in the machining and the magnitude of the loss of material resulting therefrom represent a significant cost factor in the production of usable metal.
  • this invention involves the quenching of zirconium and its alloys in water having a temperature of at least about l40F., to inhibit the formation of an alpha structure layer.
  • zirconium and its alloys are quenched in water having a temperature of at least about l40F.
  • the preferred water temperature is in excess of l60F., and as close to the boiling point of water as is practicable.
