National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Mechanical Properties of Uranium.

SAND766036

Publication Date	1959
Personal Author	Sergeev, G. Y.; Titova, V. V.; Savitskii, E. M.; Zhul'kova, A. A.; Nikolaeva, Z. P.
Page Count	14
Abstract	This paper describes results of mechanical investigations of uranium at room temperature and at higher temperatures. Data are presented on the hardness of uranium in the temperature range 20 to 600 exp 0 C, the pressing pressure for pressing in the alpha and gamma phases, the mechanical properties in tension and the notch impact strength at temperatures of the alpha , beta and gamma phases. Anisotropic behavior of individual grains in coarse-grained uranium is reported, as observed during mechanical studies. It turns out that the occurrence of allotropic transformations and the differences in the crystal structure of the modifications of uranium have a strong influence on its mechanical properties. The dependence of uranium's mechanical properties on the carbon content is also studied. (ERA citation 02:017719)
