THE EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL IMPURITIES ON THE QUALITY OF ROLLED URANIUM ROD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4191946
Thirty-four uranium ingots containing controlled amounts of carbon, nitrogen, and MgF/sub 2/ slag were cast, rolled. and examined to elucidate the relation between these impurities and the quality of the rolled rod. Carbon at 1400 ppm and nitrogen at 170 ppm, either singly or in combination, had no significant effect on the number of defects observed in the rolled rod. The quality of the rods, however, decreased with increasing amounts of slag The amount of slag necessary to cause observable differences in the rod could not be detected on analysis, but was visible in the microstructure.
