A METALLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR URANIUM DIOXIDE

Journal Article · · Energia nucleare (Milan)
OSTI ID:4837817

A polishing and chemical etching technique is presented which, besides reducing the effect of straining, satisfies from a metallographic viewpolnt operation simplicity, reproducibility of results, and time saving and optimum etching conditions. The technique involves light grinding, under strong flow of water, over silicon carbide paper and polishing with diamond paste. White spirit is used throughout the process as the lubricant. (N.W.R.)
