Activities in a program to determine the effects of product size (or dimensions), composition, and heat treatment on beta-treated U are reported. Progress to date was chiefly confined to organizing the program and setting up equipment. A Jominy end-quench apparatus was constructed, and preliminary experiments were run on as-cast metal to test the Jominy-oscillographthermocouple system. Results are tabulated. The method to be used for characterization of beta-treated samples by determination of growth index and texture is also described. (J.R.D.)
