Preliminary Report on Low Columbium: Uranium Corrosion Resistant Alloys

Description: Uranium alloys containing 3 and 6 w/o niobium have been prepared in which the impurity content is rather low. These alloys show very promising resistance to corrosion by water at 260 and 300 degree C. The corrosion resistance is exhibited in degassed water and in water which is saturated with air or oxygen at room temperature before testing.

Comparative Analysis of ANL High Purity Uranium

Description: In the course of the development at Argonne of high purity uranium metal in ingot form, some questions arose as to the validity of the chemical analyses of some of the impurities (particularly those for carbon, boron, and silicon), with one analytical laboratory reporting concentrations in some instances of an order of magnitude greater than another laboratory. Since the low concentrations of impurities in this material involved, in some cases, the development of modified analytical procedures … more
