Patent
·
OSTI ID:4837760
A method and apparatus are described for manufacturing molded objects (rods or hollow cylinders) consisting of U/sub 3/Si/sub 2/, USi, USi/sub 2/, or USi/sub 3/. A graphite mold is filled under vibration with a homogeneous mixture of uranium and silicon that has the desired composition and heated in a vacuum at 450 to 650 deg C to convert the mixture into uranium silicide. The object is then removed from the mold and sintered by induction heating at 1500 deg C in a vacuum. (NPO)
