These two reports were issued separately but are cataloged as a unit. The following investigations of Zircaloy were made hydrogen analysis, vacuum vs. atmosphere melting, microstructural appearance of stringers, alpha to alpha- plusbeta transformation temperature, cold-swaging, metallographic etchant, sulfuric acid rinsing after pickling; occurrence of excessive grain growth, anodizing as a technique for determining the origin of stringers; calculation of the diffusion of gaseous contaminants, and effect of removal of surface metal.
