BINARY CARBIDE-METAL SYSTEMS. Progress Report No. 5

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837458
UC--C--Fe mixtures were fired for study of the UC/sub 2/--Fe system, and metallographic evidence were obtained for a ternary compound with the probable composition of UC/sub 2/Fe. The eutectic between UC/sub 2/Fe and Fe was observed to lie between 60 and 62 wt% Fe. Metallographic examination of fired UC/sub 2/-- Cr mixtures indicate that UC/sub 2/-- Cr is not a tie line in the U--Cr--C system. Two methods of preparing UN are described. Studies of fired UN-- Fe mixtures revealed a eutectic occurring at 48.5 plus or minus 0.5% Fe and having a melting point between 1400 and 1450 deg C. (D.L.C.)
