Laboratory Evaluation of Graphite Crucible Coatings for Vacuum Melting Uranium

Description: Oxide and carbide coatings and methods of applying them to graphite crucibles were evaluated on a laboratory scale. The objectives were to find a better crucible and mold coating than magnesia (Mgo), which is currently used in the remelt operation, and a better method of application than brushing. The evaluation consisted of the vacuum-melting of slug uranium charges and derby having different coatings, followed by studies of the appearance of the coatings and the metal quality (impurity levels… more
