A uranium-10wt% molybdenum billet was cast using a vacuum induction meting furnace. The uranium was retrieved from ZPPR stockpiles and had previously been coated with a polymeric coating to prevent oxidation. The coating was removed by mechanically removing the exterior surfaces. After casting total carbon analysis, tensile testing, and microstructural testing was performed. Based on the characterization results ZPPR stockpile depleted uranium can be used as a source of depleted uranium if all coating materials are fully removed.
