Plastic Flow During Extrusion of Tubing

Description: Abstract: "A study of plastic flow during the extrusion of tubing was made by extruding colored Plasticine billets in a small-scale extrusion press. Decreasing the included angle of the conical die and tapering the ram end of the billet decreased the amount of coextrusion of the backer block into the tubing, lubricating the billet also decreased coextrusion."

A Study of Fabricating Beryllia by Cold Compaction and Extrusion Techniques

Description: From introduction: "This report presents the results of the preliminary studies of two fabrication methods aimed at producing high density beryllia shapes more economically. The method were cold compaction and sintering, and extrusion and sintering."

Sodium Heat Engine Development Program

Description: The Sodium Heat Engine (SHE) is an efficient thermoelectric conversion device which directly generates electricity from a thermally regenerative electrochemical cell that relies on the unique conduction properties of {beta}{double prime}-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE). Laboratory models of a variety of SHE devices have demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of the system, engineering development of large prototype devices has been slowed by a series of materials and fabrication problems.… more

The Extrusion of Beryllium

Description: Abstract: "A method for the extrusion of beryllium into rods and tubing has been developed. The operation is carried out between 1500 and 1900 F and the billet is clad in a layer of soft iron to prevent contact between it and the die steals. Extruded beryllium has much more strength and ductility than cast metal due to the crystal refinement which occurs as a result of the fabrication operation."

Coextrusion of Powder-Compact Slugs

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "A process was developed for manufacturing aluminum-clad slugs containing UO2 or ThO2 dispersed in an aluminum matrix. In this process a mixture of the oxide and aluminum powder is cold compacted to form the billet core, which is then coextruded with an aluminum sheath to produce the clad slug."

Extrusion of Uranium Tubes

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "Several hundred long, thin-walled uranium tubes were extruded to close dimensional tolerance by a potentially low cost fabrication process in commercial facilities. The principal process steps were; forging uranium ingots, machining the forged ingots into billets, and extruding the billets into tubes. Some 750 tubes (maximum dimensions: 3.5 inches in diameter and 15 feet long) were fabricated by this process. Dimensional control was excellent in that 88% of th… more

Design and Fabrication of Coextruded Stainless Steel Clad UO2 Fuel Rods

Description: A process was developed in which stainless steel-clad UO2 fuel rods are fabricated by high-temperature coextrusion. The process has a potential of being a more economical method for the preparation of stainless steel-clad UO2 fuel rods than the conventional pellet process. Consequently, it was considered advantageous to evaluate the irradiation characteristics of fuel rods fabricated in this manner. Therefore, 24 coextruded fuel rods were manufactured for evaluation in a reactor. The required a… more

Kinetics of Erythroblastic Cell Populations in the Dog, Studied with Tritiated Thymidine

Description: In the erythroblastic series of several species, including man and dog, nuclear pyknosis in the last stages of maturation, before nuclear extrusion, is accompanied by a loss of the ability to synthesize DNA (1, 5). Cells of this group never appear labeled during the first hour after injection of tritiated thymidine. Less mature erythroblastic cells appear labeled or not on early samples, according to their functional status in the cell cycle. DNA synthesis indeed is not seen just before, during… more

Impact Extrusion of Uranium

Description: Uranium has been successfully impact extruded into typical cylindrical shapes of conventional design. Extrusion was carried out in the "gamma" region by heating cast uranium slugs to a temperature of approximately 1050 degrees C. Protection against oxidation was afforded by surrounding the slugs during heating with an inert atmosphere of argon gas. Impact extruded shapes possessed physical properties which are better than the properties of as-cast metal. Also, extruded shapes show a uniform int… more

Uranium Cold Extrusion

Description: Several hollow uranium cores of "C" size I & E diameters were fabricated by cold extrusion (550 to 750 F) at Hunter Douglas Aluminum Corporation. Results show diameter control and reproducibility are excellent. Preferred orientation induced by this process is completely removed by a single standard beta heat treatment.

Oxidation and Dislocation Mechanism in Fatigue Crack Formation

Description: A discussion concerning the mechanism of extrusion and intrusion formation is presented. A model involving dislocation motions is proposed by which experimental results are explained. In this first stage of fatigue defect formation, it appears that O₂ is not involved. While in the second stage, in which microcracks are formed oxidation is probably important. The effects of oxidation in the third stage, in which cracks of macroscopic size propagate steadily through the area and lead finally to f… more

Preparation of Plutonium Sheet by Extrusion

Description: Plutonium sheet of uniform thickness and good surface can be made by the extrusion of a tube which is then split and flattened. This report describes the equipment and the operating conditions for making sheet 0.005 to 0.055 in. thick with areas up to 24 in. square.
