Examination of Factors Affecting the Quality of Vacuum Induction-Melted Uranium (open access)

Examination of Factors Affecting the Quality of Vacuum Induction-Melted Uranium

The following report examines primarily water and air factors that affect the quality of vacuum induction-melted uranium, yet follows experiments with other factors such as graphite and zirconium crucibles under dry and wet conditions, usage of hydrogen, oxygen, CO and other subject admitted to determine pressure-time relationships and residual gas compositions, as well as a study of water-gas reaction within the furnace.

Theoretical Studies of the Solidification of Uranium Castings (open access)

Theoretical Studies of the Solidification of Uranium Castings

Report discussing a method of evaluating factors relevant to the creation of sound uranium castings. From abstract: "A mathematical model has been developed to calculate the time-temperature relationships in a cylindrical uranium casting during its solidification. Finite-difference equations are used, and the solution is obtained by use of a digital computer."

Properties of Arc-Melted Chromium-Base Alloys

From abstract: "Twelve binary chromium-base alloy systems were screened for hot workability, oxidation resistance, and hot strength using small ore-melted ingots...Experiments with the preparation of large chromium-base alloy ingots showed that cold-mold ore melting was not suitable for preparing ingots containing over about 1 w/o of alloy addition."
