A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF METALLIC URANIUM OR URANIUM ALLOYS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4175260
A prccess is described for the production of U metal or alloys by the thermal reduction of a U double fluoride. The U or U alloy is prcduced by reducing a U double fluoride by means of an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or Al and heating the mixture to a temperature between 110 tained C and its melting point to increase its density. After heating, the mixture is ground to a suitable grain size, mixed with the reducing element, and heated in a sealed vessel to cause the reduction to take place. (W.L.H.)
