Abstract

The present invention is directed to a process for fabricating laminated composites of uranium or uranium alloys and at least one other metal or alloy. The laminated composites are fabricated by forming a casting of the molten uranium with the other metal or alloy which is selectively positioned in the casting and then hot-rolling the casting into a laminated plate in or around which the casting components are metallurgically bonded to one another to form the composite. The process of the present invention provides strong metallurgical bonds between the laminate components primarily since the bond disrupting surface oxides on the uranium or uranium alloy float to the surface of the casting to effectively remove the oxides from the bonding surfaces of the components.

Method for fabricating load-bearing composites free from microbuckling deformation up to a predetermined load

Patent Application Dubois, N.J.

A method fabricating a continuous filament reinforced composite free from microbuckling deformation up to a predetermined load with a high degree of certainty is disclosed. A continuous filament is selected from among a group of appropriate types of filaments. A matrix material is selected from a group of appropriate types of matrix materials. Selected filaments are undirectionally embedded in the selected matrix to provide a uniaxially continuously reinforced composite. The Young's modulus and the shear modulus are calculated for the composite. Mathematical formulas are provided for calculation of upper and lower bounds of transverse stiffness, B.

Method for fabricating light weight carbon-bonded carbon fiber composites

Patent Wrenn, G.E. Jr.; Abbatiello, L.A.; Lewis, J. Jr.

Ultralight carbon-bonded fiber composites of densities in the range of about 0.04 to 0.10 grams per cubic centimeter are fabricated by forming an aqueous slurry of carbonaceous fibers which include carbonized fibers and 0-50 weight percent fugitive fibers and a particulate thermosetting resin precursor. The slurry is brought into contact with a perforated mandrel and the water is drained from the slurry through the perforations at a controlled flow rate of about 0.03 to 0.30 liters per minutes per square inch of mandrel surface. The deposited billet of fibers and resin precursor is heated to cure the resin precursor tomore »« less

Method for fabricating {sup 99}Mo production targets using low enriched uranium, {sup 99}Mo production targets comprising low enriched uranium

Patent Application Wiencek, T.C.; Matos, J.E.; Hofman, G.L.

A radioisotope production target and a method for fabricating a radioisotope production target is provided, wherein the target comprises an inner cylinder, a foil of fissionable material (low enriched U) circumferentially contacting the outer surface of the inner cylinder, and an outer hollow cylinder adapted to receive the substantially foil-covered inner cylinder and compress tightly against the foil to provide good mechanical contact therewith. The method for fabricating a primary target for the production of fission products comprises preparing a first substrate to receive a foil of fissionable material so as to allow for later removal of the foil frommore »« less
