Conditions of time, temperature, and pressure for hotpress bonding of aluminum-nickel and uranium-nickel disks were determined experimentally. A process for jacketing Hanford four-inch slugs, coated with nonporous nickel electroplates, in aluminum cans by cold-sizing and hot-pressing was developed and conditions of time, temperature, and pressure required for the actual canning process were determined.
