Effects of Preferred Orientation and Grain Size On Dimensional Stability of Uranium on Thermal Cycling and Irradiation : Final Report -- Metallurgy Program 5.1.7
Description:
The growth of alpha-rolled uranium rods on thermal cycling has been shown to depend on both preferred orientation and grain size. Preferred orientation appears to be a necessary condition for growth to occur; the extent of the growth depends upon the sharpness and type of texture developed and on the grain size. The highest growth rates occur in specimens with highly developed textures coupled with small grain sizes. The growth rates increase with cycling level, particularly in specimens of lar…
