Uranium--niobium alloys were prepared by direct reduction with calcium of urardum tetrafluoride and niobium pentoxide. The reduction of potassium oxyfluoniobate did not give satisfactory results. Alloys containing up to 20% niobium have been successfully achieved. Ternary alloys containing chromium and vanadium have been prepared by simultaneous reduction of chromium anhydride and vanadium pentoxide. The preparation of the alloys is described and the results are discussed. (auth)
