Gamma-phase Mo-Nb-U alloy is offered as a corrosion-resistant fuel alloy. One example consisted of 7 wt.% Mo, 2 wt.% Nb, bal. U salt-bath treated to 1950 F, and forged into a flat sheet from which quarterinch thick specimens were prepared. Heating at 900 C for one day was followed by annealing 7 days at 400 C in He. Maximum corrosion resistance to water at 650 C was secured by a 9 wt.% Mo, 1.4 wt.% Nb composition. (T.R.H.)
