Title: PREFERRED ORIENTATION OF COLD-ROLLED AND RECRYSTALLIZED URANIUM PLATE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4329894

The preferred orientation induced in uranium plate by mild cold rolling after beta transformation was characterized by measurement of thermal expansion coefficients. From these data, it was estimated that cold reductions of five and ten% would cause elongations of one and two% per 1000 Mwd/T, respectively, during irradiation of the plate. Recrystallization following cold work did not significantly affect the preferred orientation, but relieved intergranular stresses in the metal. The cold work and recrystallization reduced the grain size of the metal. (auth)
