From conference on physical metallurgy of uranium alloys; Vail, Colorado, USA (12 Feb 1974). A review of the state of the art is presented on the fabrication and properties of U-rich alloys in which the alloying elements are highly miscible in gamma -U (Nb, Zr, Ti, Mo). Processing of both low alloys (which will not retain a metastable gamma phase when quenched) and high alloys (which will retain a metastable gamma phase, usually greater than 6% Mo or Nb) is treated. Forging, extrusion, deep drawing, shear spinning, single-point turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and electrical discharge machining are discussed. Heat treatments (metastable, solution treatment, age hardening) to yield the desired mechanical properties are also discussed. (18 figures, 6 tables, 57 references) (DLC)
