In ferrous alloys, uranium increases the elastic limit and the tensile strength. In high speed steels, it has been used to increase toughness and strength in amounts between %. Uraniumalloyed steels can be used at very low temperatures; nickeluranium alloys are resistant to even very aggressive chemicals, including aqua regia.

Finely divided uranium is pyrophoric; therefore machining chips and grinding residue must be handled carefully to avoid the danger of fire. These hazards can be minimized by using liberal amounts of machining fluid, keeping machining waste submerged in water or oil, removing chips from tools and work areas frequently, and avoiding mixed metal chips.
A process is described for electroslag refining of uranium and uranium alloys wherein molten uranium and uranium alloys are melted in a molten layer of a fluoride slag containing up to about 8 weight percent calcium metal. The calcium metal reduces oxides in the uranium and uranium alloys to provide them with an oxygen content of less than 100
Thoriumuranium alloys were studied with the aim of developing alloys with improved irradiation behavior by control of microstructure. The effect of thorium purity, melting technique, hot and cold working, and heat treatment on microstructure was investigated. The most signifi . cant microstructural differences occurred as a result of casting
Recycling scrap uranium materials, including alloys thereof such as uranium wt. % niobium wt. % zirconium; uranium 6 wt. % niobium; uranium wt. % titanium; uranium wt. % niobium, is very attractive for economic reasons since such materials, especially some of the alloying constituents, are relatively expensive.

Nov 01, 2020#0183;#32;1. Introduction. Uranium and its alloys have been widely used in nuclear power and other industries. The oxidation corrosion of uranium is one of the key issues in the longperiod storage [1,2].It has been known that the corrosion of uranium in anoxic conditions ( N 2 and Ar) would be more serious than that in oxygenous conditions, since the corrosion rate of uranium by water vapor is much

be machined by most normal cutting and grinding techniques, but special tools, cutting conditions, and safety precautions are recommended. Uranium is frequently alloyed to improve its corrosion resistance and/or modify its mechanical properties. These alloys can be fabricated hot, warm, or cold similar to unalloyed uranium.

This article focuses on the basic metallurgy and machining parameters of classes of depleted and enriched uranium alloys. It provides information on the health precautions applicable to the machining of depleted uranium alloys. The article also discusses tool wear and the types of tools used in uranium alloy machining.
Uranium alloys have been used in the fuel elements in the CO 2cooled, firstgeneration nuclear power plants in the UK (Calder Hall or Magnox reactors) and France. The Dounreay fast reactor (DFR) in the UK used UMo alloy fuel and tried UCr alloy. The fuel of mark I and mark IA EBRII was uranium with the addition of 5 wt.% fissium.
