Interactions Between Plutonium and Other Metals in Connection with Their Arrangement in Mendeleev's Periodic Table; VZAIMODEISTVIE PLUTONIYA S DRUGIMI METALLAMI V SVYAZI S IKH RASPOLOZHENIEM V PERIODICHESKOI SISTEME D.I. MENDELEEVA
Some general characteristics deduced from the study of the interaction between plutonium and other metals are considered. It is pointed out that plutonium does not interact with alkali and alkaline earth elements. Plutonium combines with the metals of the Ia and IIa subgroups of the periodic table to form a number of compounds. Plutonium and the elements of Group III are found to form solid solutions on the basis of xi and delta phases. The solubility of elements in plutonium is associated with their arrangement in the periodic table. Plutonium forms a number of compounds with the metals of groups IV and V. The study of interactions between plutonium and metals of the transition groups shows that plutonium combines with the transition elements to form solid solutions on the basis of xi and delta phases. In alloying plutonium with elements of groups V and VII of the transition metals, the ability to form solid solutions decreases, whereas the ability to form intermetallic compounds increases. The phase diagrams of plutonium with copper, beryllium, aluminum, lead, bismuth, zirconium, chromium, iron, molybdenum, osmium, thorium, and uranium are given. (auth)
