IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO COATING OF URANIUM METAL AND URANIUM-BASE ALLOY

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4192682
A method is given for coating U and U alloys with a base for electrodeposited coatings. The U or U alloy is heated with a metal or oxide powder mixed with halide or oxyhalide. In an example U was cleaned and dried and immersed in a powdered mixture of Be and 25 wt.% BeCl/sub 2/ and heated to 500 deg C for 4 hr. Alternatively AlCl/sub 3/ may be substituted for the BeCl/sub 3/ and a shorter time at 420 to 450 deg is possible. (T.R.H.)
