The Effects of Chemical Impurities on the Quality of Rolled Uranium Rod

Description: Abstract: "The effects of nitrogen, slag, and hydrogen additions on the surface quality of rolled uranium rod were studied. The addition of 400 ppm of nitrogen resulted in severe striations. Slag inclusions elongated during rolling and produced short open seams in the etched surface. The effects of 9 to 10 ppm of hydrogen were obscured by defects in the original costings. These defects were caused by oxide films entrapped in the ingot."
