Title: Mechanical Properties of Uranium Alloys

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/804673· OSTI ID:804673

Cavitational swelling in uranium-base fuel has been attributed to boundary sliding arising from internal stresses due to anisotrophic growth. This document presents the results of room-temperature tensile tests made on a series of alloys to explore the possibility of such a relation and isolate the specific properties of major importance.
