EFFECT OF TRANSFER TIME ON THE RECRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF BETA-COOLED URANIUM
A study was made of the recrystallization behavior of beta-quenched uranium by incorporating the effects of transfer time from the beta heat-treating bath to the quench media. A critical transfer lime which relates to the time required to immerse samples at a temperature above the beta-alpha transformation in a quench media directly affects the beta-cooled structure and its ease of recrystallization upon alpha phase annealing. Within the critical transfer time, the ease of recrystallization and degree of grain refinement of beta-cooled samples as measured by alpha-phase annealing temperatures and times are superior to samples quenched beyond the critical transfer time.
