THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE APPLICATION OF METALLIC COATINGS TO CHROMIUM PLATED URANIUM SURFACES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4111690

A method of applying an adherent metal coating to chromium-plated uranium is described in which the plated uranium is dipped into molten aluminum or aluminum alloys, with or without flux. This method can be used to produce final protective coatings for uranium or bonding means to unite the chromium surface to other metals. Possible variants of the method are illustrated by examples in which chromium-plated uranium, with or without copper or nickel coatings interposed between the chromium and the uranium, is dipped in Zn-1% Al, Al-- 12% Si, Zn-5% Al, and Al molten baths.
