AN INVESTIGATION OF TRANSFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THREE URANIUM BASE ALLOYS. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4708374
TTT (transformation temperature time) diagrams are presented and transformation kinetics is described for five alloys: U--10% Mo, U--8% Mo, U--8% Mo--1/2% Ti, U--8% Mo--1% Ti, and U--2% Mo--2% Nb--2% Zr--1/2% Ti. Metallographic, dilatometric, hardness, and x-ray techniques were utilized in establishing the TTT diagrams. Sensitivity and limitations of each technique are discussed. Metallographic techniques were perfected for the U-base alloys for nearly all conditions of heat treatment. Certain low temperature transformation structures and the identification of nonmetallic inclusions were not completely resolved. Metallographic structures of the specimens were interpreted where possible in terms of the established TTT diagrams. (P.C.H.)
