Metallurgy Division Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending January 31, 1951
Description:
The stability and corrosion resistance of thorium exposed to eutectic NaK were investigated. Satisfactory results on thorium tube or rod fabrication by means of extrusion were obtained. Rolling and swaging thorium presented no difficulty but drawing proved unsuccessful. Strainhardening values of iodide thorium were about half of those of Ames thorium. The fubrication of unanium tubing by extrusion was successful in the alpha but not in the gamma nange. By increasing the extrusion ratio, an incr…
