EXTRUSION OF URANIUM FOR HANFORD CORED SLUG PROGRAM--VII

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4174870
;
Development of extrusion as a means of making Hanford cored slugs was continued. Eccentricities of the thick-wall tubes required were a major problem in meeting an arbitrary specification of 0.032-in. This eccentricity is defined as the difference between centers of the inside and outside diameters. A new method of insuring better concentricity is described which involves a special type of dummy block. A series of heat-treated uranium dingots were also extruded as rod and found to require lower pressures than normal vacuum cast uranium. (auth)
