The Corrosion of 1100 Aluminum in Oxygen Saturated Water at 70° C (open access)

The Corrosion of 1100 Aluminum in Oxygen Saturated Water at 70° C

In oxygen-saturated distilled water at 70°, the rate and amount of corrosion during short exposure are influenced by experimental conditions. One noteworthy effect is that contamination of the water by the reaction increases the corrosion rate.

Development of Zirconium Clad Uranium Plates for Reactor Fuel (open access)

Development of Zirconium Clad Uranium Plates for Reactor Fuel

In this investigation a method has been developed for production of Zrclad uranium plate based upon previous investigations at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, and preliminary in investigations in their present work. The present preliminary investigations included experimental studies of the effect of interface atmosphere upon roll bonding and led to the conclusion that thin layers of air between bonding surfaces could be tolerated.
