The effects of iron additions to a uranium-0.74 weight percent titanium (U-0.74Ti) alloy on mechanical properties were studied over the range of 20 to 350 ppM iron. High strain rate (1 s/sup -1/) tensile tests and instrumented unnotched Charpy tests were made on alloys that had been vacuum induction cast, hot rolled to plate, vacuum water quenched from 800/sup 0/C, and aged at 350/sup 0/C for 16 hours. Tensile yield and ultimate strengths and impact yield strengths increased with increasing iron content. Impact energy absorbed in a Charpy test decreased dramatically at only 60 ppM iron. Tensile elongation decreased from 20 percent at low iron levels to about 6 percent at 150 ppM iron.
