A METHOD FOR ROLLING URANIUM FOIL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4355825
Uranium-buttons may be rolled in a simple process by breaking and firing, plating, annealing at 600 deg C for 1/2 hr in a low pressure vacuum furnace, rolling immediately while still hot and then annealing. If cross rolling is done, the piece can be given two passes 90 deg to each other at the same reduction without being annealed between passes. If a 10 to 20% reduction is wanted on every 90 deg turn, the piece should be annealed between each pass. Four passes at 5% with 200 deg heat treatmert between each pass is not as good as one 20% reduction pass. (F.S.)
