The Corrosion of 1100 Aluminum in Oxygen Saturated Water at 70° C

Description: In oxygen-saturated distilled water at 70°, the rate and amount of corrosion during short exposure are influenced by experimental conditions. One noteworthy effect is that contamination of the water by the reaction increases the corrosion rate.

Neutron Radiography as an Inspection Technique

Description: The differences in absorption characteristics between neutrons and X-rays have been pointed out by a number of investigators. Such inspection situations would include the possibility of greater radiographic discrimination for certain materials, the inspection of heavy metals with reduced exposure times, and the relatively easy inspection of light materials by themselves or even when they are in an assembly with much heavier materials.

Literature Search on Chemical Reduction of Uranium Oxides

Description: Reduction of the oxide formed in the slagging operation has been suggested as a possible means of increasing the overall ingot recovery. The various reduction methods which have been investigated are reduction with calcium, magnesium, and carbon. Details of each method are discussed in this paper.
