METALLURGY DIVISION ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING OCTOBER 10, 1957

Description: High-Temperatare Metallurgy. A series of Inconel loops were operated to study the variation with time of depth of corrosion, effect of flow rate on corrosion, and effect of temperature drop on corrosion using fused salts. The corrosive effects of fused salts on Hastelloy B and Ni--Mo alloys are discussed. A series of Inconel--Na and Inconel-NaK forced circulation loops was operated to study the mass transfer in the systems. The mass transfer between Na and forced circulation loop of stainless s… more

Preparation, Cladding, and Evaluation of Titanium-Boron Dispersions

Description: Powder dispersions of titanium--boron and titanium-boron carbide were prepared, clad, and evaluated for use as control materials. Compacts possessing up to 95 per cent of theoretical density were prepared by a hot-pressing technique. The relatively low temperatare of 1500 deg F was used to obtain the desired high density. There was no visible reaction between the boron dispersant and titanium. Excellent metallurgical cladding of the titanium-- boron dispersion with titanium was achieved by the … more

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT QUARTERLY REPORT. PART II. PILOT PLANT WORK

Description: ABS>The stoicbiometric HNO/sub 3/ concentrations required to digest feed materials to 200g U/I, 3N excess acid are tabulated. Stoichiometrically the minimum HNO/sub 3/ concentration required to dissolve feed materials to flowsheet conditions flowsheet tests is presented. The sensitivity of the Weldon Spring TBP-extraction system to process flow rates is discussed. A series of pilot plant experiments are deserined for removing TBP from raffinate. Steam distillstion of the raffinate slurries prov… more
