The Direct Production of Solid Ductile Zircaloy by Calciothermy without any Additive; ELABORATION DIRECTE DE ZIRCALOY MASSIF DUCTILE PAR CALCIOTHERMIE, SANS ADJUVANT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4282292
Solid ductile Zircaloy was prepared directly by the calcium thermal reduction of zirconium tetrafluoride without the presence of any additives except l% tin and iron. The oxygen content of the metal is approximately 1,000 ppm. An outline of the behavior of the alloy under forging, rolling, and machining is given. Data are presented on the conditions of the process, especially on the material used. The efficiency of the process is excellent. The ingot need not be cast prior to rolling, forging, or machining.
