OSTI ID:4175065

BS>An electrolytic method for plating Mg on U is described. In an example, the U is cleaned in 50% H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, washed and dried in acetone. The U rod is attached to a rotator and immersed in a molten electrolyte of MgCl/ sub 2/ and KCl in equimolar amounts with 1 to 4% MgS which melts at 489 deg C. The graphite anodes are arranged about the U cathode, and a current density of 140 to 360 amp/ft/sup 2/ is applied while the U rod is rotated. After the proper coating is achieved the rod is removed, cooled, and washed with water. Magnesium anodes may be used. (T.R.H.)
