The Effects of Chemical Impurities on the Quality of Rolled Uranium Rod

Description: Abstract: "Thirty-four uranium ingots containing controlled amounts of carbon, nitrogen, and Mgl2 slag were cast, rolled, and examined to investigate the relation between these impurities and the quality of the rolled rod. Carbon in concentrations up to 1400 ppm and nitrogen up to 170 ppm, either singly or in combination, had no significant effect on the number of defects observed in the rolled rod. The quality of the rods, however decreased with increasing amount of slag necessary to cause obs… more

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During September, 1958

Description: A report about thermal-conductivity and electrical-resistivity measurements made on a uranium-1.5 w/o zirconium alloy surrounded by NaK enclosed in a Zircaloy-2 capsule which were in poor agreement with measurements made directly on a uranium-1.5 w/o zirconium specimen.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During April, 1956

Description: A report about elevated-temperature properties of dilute uranium-aluminum and uranium-zirconium alloys. Hot-hardness measurements show that small amounts of wither aluminum or zirconium increase the hardness of uranium at elevated temperatures.

Program Relating to Civilian Applications During October, 1958

Description: A report pertaining to the thermal-conductivity and electrical-resistivity measurements of uranium encapsulated in zircaloy-2 and surrounded with NaK as a heat-transfer material which is not in agreement with results obtained from unclad uranium.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During July, 1956

Description: A report based on a study about the factors which affect the amount of chemical reaction between water and Zircaloy 2 at high temperatures. Also, experimental programs for the measurement of radiation emissivity, chemical reaction rates, and diffusion rates have been completed.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During July, 1957

Description: A report about equipment which is assembled and tested to determine the feasibility of measuring the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of irradiated uranium rods clad with Zircaloy 2 with NaK as the heat-transfer medium.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During May, 1956

Description: A report about mechanical properties of dilute uranium alloys are being investigated in an effort to develop a high-strength alloy for fuel elements. Elevated temperature tensile tests were made on two dilute uranium-aluminum alloys, and several ternary alloys were arc melted.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During December, 1956

Description: A report about thermal conductivity measurements which are made on uranium, uranium-1.5 w/o zirconium, and zircaloy 2 for a program that aims to determine the feasibility of using clad specimens. Results from the measurements indicate that the difference in thermal conductivity values between uranium and uranium-1.5 w/o zirconium is less than the anticipated 5 percent.

Progress Relating to Civilian Applications During February, 1957

Description: A report about the design and construction of equipment for thermal-conductivity measurements of irradiated encapsulated uranium. Metallographic techniques used to confirm solubility limits of uranium in thorium, previously determined by electrical resistivity and X-ray data, have been unsuccessful.
