Title: METALLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR BOND STUDY OF ALUMINUM-CLAD NICKEL-PLATED URANIUM FUEL ELEMENTS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4138473· OSTI ID:4138473

Various metallographic techniques were employed to determine the best method for the preparation of Al-clad, Ni-plated U fuel elements for bond studies. The quality of the final results and the speed of the preparation were the most important factors to be considered. The procedure presented was found to yield the most advantageous results in the minimum amount of time. (W.L.H.)
