Mercury Amalgam Bonding of Uranium and Copper (open access)

Mercury Amalgam Bonding of Uranium and Copper

Technical report summarizing one phase of work done to develop methods of bonding uranium to a metal which is a good conductor of heat. Silver was chosen for contact with uranium because it is easy to plate on uranium and there is no danger of brittle Ag-U compounds being formed at elevated temperatures. [From Abstract]
