FUEL BEARING FIBERGLAS IN ALUMINUM BASE FUEL ELEMENTS. Monthly Progress Letter No. 11 for April 1, 1960 to April 30, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4180647
Fabrication techniques designed to eliminate the ripple effect produced in clad plates containing uranium-bearing fiberglas-core sections were investigated. The variables contributing to the rippled appearance are: edges of the pressed compacts, temperature of open and clad rolling and reduction ratio. The reduction in area of clad tensile specimens taken transverse to the rolling direction varied from 36 to 55% from room temperatare to 1000 deg F. (See also ORO-247). (C.J.G.)
