Experiments on the plastic behavior of magnesiumreduced alpha-uranium above 300 deg C are reported. The first part describes the results of uniaxial creep tests under isothermal conditions and presents a relation between secondary creep rate, stress, and temperature which applies at 450 to 650 deg C. The second part describes the effects of thermal cycles on the plastic deformation under load. Experimental results are given, and a theory is developed to relate the plastic deformation to the applied stress and the amplitude of the cycle. (auth)
