Mechanical Metallurgy of Plutonium Metal, Alloys, and Allotropes [Slides]
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
This talk will highlight the mechanical properties of plutonium, but with some discussion of the governing (and often unusual!) underlying metallurgical fundamentals In the interest of time, this talk will focus on unalloyed plutonium metal, its temperature allotropes, and plutonium alloyed to stabilize the delta phase Most of the featured work is taken from the literature; references are provided for both attribution and further reading.
