A Modification of the Norelco Diffractometer for the Identification of Phases in Metallographic Specimens (open access)

A Modification of the Norelco Diffractometer for the Identification of Phases in Metallographic Specimens

A modification of the specimen support for the Norelco diffractometer permits X-ray diffraction studies to be made of specimens prepared for metallographic examination. The unit has been successfully used to identify phases present in specimens of plutonium-uranium alloys.

Preparation of Uranium-Columbium Alloys by Bomb Reduction (open access)

Preparation of Uranium-Columbium Alloys by Bomb Reduction

High purity, homogeneous alloys of uranium and columbium have been produced by adding powdered columbium metal or columbium/sub 2/O/sub 5/ to a regular reduction charge. Alloys up to 20.0 at.% columbium were produced. The preparation of the alloys, some of their properties, and casting results are described.
