Zircon Carburation Studies as Intermediate Stage in the Zirconium Fabrication; ESTUDIOS ENCAMINADOS A LA CARBURACTION DEL CIRON COMO ETAPA INTERMEDIA EN LA OBTENCION DE CIRCONIO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4162346

Zirconium carbide and carbonitride mixtures were obtained by Kroll's method. Reaction products were identified by micrography and x-ray diffraction analysis. The optimum graphite content in the initial charge for the carburization reaction was studied. Zirconium, silicon, and carbon content in the final product was controlled as a function of current in the furnace and reaction time. Further chlorination of the final product was performed successfully. (auth)
