PHASE EQUILIBRIA IN URANIUM-RICH BINARY ALLOYS CONTAINING MOLYBDENUM AND ZIRCONIUM AND THE EFFECT OF TERNARY ADDITIONS OF CARBON

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Materials
The metallographic characteristics of the microstructures obtained when uranium rich alloys are slowly cooled to room temperature, with intervening step- annealing treatments at and below 950 deg C, are described. These alloys contain binary additions of molybdenum and zirconium and ternary additions of carbon with molybdenum or zirconium. The optical and particularly the replica electron microscope techniques adopted for the metallurgical examination of these alloys enabled distinction to be made between the constituent phases which are present in these alloys. The possible effects of the microstructural condition of these alloys during irradiation are discussed. (auth)
