Extrusion cladding of Uranium fuel plates
Description:
Two methods for extrusion cladding were investigated and evaluated. In the coaxial method, the component parts of the extrusion assembly are concentric, and the fuel plate moves in the same direction as the hydraulicpress ram. In the right-angle method, the fuel-plate metion is perpendicular to that of the ram. Ribbed sheaths of aluminum were extruded satisfactorily on 3-in.-wide uranium plates in lengths up to about 10 ft. Lowest extrusion pressures were achieved with the most streamlined desiā¦
