Abstract
Uranium rods prepared by sintering-extrusion in the {alpha} or {beta} phase (at various extrusion ratios) using slightly oxidised powders have been subjected to the thermal cycling test. At the same time, dilatometric and X-ray techniques have made it possible to determine the structures produced in these materials during their fabrication. A relationship is then proposed linking the texture to the increase in length on thermal cycling. 1. Two types of rods have been studied: Sintered-extruded in the {beta} phase: low density (88 per cent theoretical density), large grain-size and no preferential texture. Sintered-extruded in the {alpha} phase: high density (96 per cent theoretical density), fine grain with pronounced preferential texture. 2. After 1000 thermal cycles between 20 and 550 C, the increases in length are the following: 2 per cent for a uranium sintered-extruded in the {beta} phase (with surface cracking). between 14 and 56 per cent according to the extrusion ratio for on uranium sintered-extruded in the {alpha} phase (with no surface effects). 3. In the case of rods sintered-extruded in the {alpha} phase, determination of the pole figure using the Schulz reflection method showed the existence of two preferential orientations parallel to the direction of extrusion: one close
