Russell, R B; Wolff, A K

Variables affecting the texture and grain size of uranium during beta treatment are summarized. The effects of composition (ingot versus dingot), prior delta condition, prior texture, pre-quenching air delay, rod or tube size, quenching medium and applied stress on grain size, distontion, and G/sub 3/ gradients in the final beta-treated shapes are described.
