Physicsl Metsllurgy of Reactor Materials. Mechanical properties of a series of Th--C alloys ranging in C content from 0.02 to 0.22% wcre determined. The effect of quenching temperature on the hardness of pure Th was investigated. The effcct of aging temperature on the hardness of Th-- Cr alloys was determined. The effect of quenching temperature on the hardness of Th--Cr--C alloys is given. Data are given on the mechanical properties of Ames Th. The effect of cold work on the recrystallization of Th is described. Reactor Component Fabrication. A picture frame method of Zr cladding of U is described. A method of sealing the sheared edge of Zr clad U plate by edge welding is presented. Zirconium cladding of Th is described. Fundamental Physico-Metallurgical Research. A tentative phase diagram of the Ag--Zr system is prescnted. The preparation of In -- Zr alloys by arc-melting methods is described. (W.L.H.)
