SUMMARY "A" REPORT ON METALS RESEARCH PROJECT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4211145
Research was undertaken to find a means of making pre cision castings of U by the use of the Austenal technique for making molds coupled with vacuum centrifugal casting. The requirements in this operation were to be a pressure of better than one micron of mercury absolute to be maintained during casting and as rapid a method of melting and handling of the metals as could be obtained. The latter requirement, it was believed, could best be met by the use of induction heating in vacuum. (auth)
