Conversion of unalloyed Mo arc-cast ingots into a wrought form was successfully accomplished by a twotemperature technique. A series of Mo -Re, Nb- Re, TaRe, and W-Re alloys were prepared for hardness measurements. An investigation was made of two mechanisms of zirconium corrosion: failure of thick oxide films and incorporation of foreign ions into the oxide lattice. The relative irradiation-induced swelling characteristics of alpha- and beta-phase uranium were evaluated. Zonerefining operations were continued on 11/4-in.- diameter beryllium crystals for use in studies of prism plane slip. The electrical resistivity ratio is being correlated with chemical analyses and mechanical deformation behavior. (M.C.G.)
