Examinations of uranium samples from the Nr 683 NRX uranium rod

Creators

Description

The authors report metallurgical examinations of three pieces of an uranium rod. They also assessed the rod core temperature. After a brief description of the general visual aspect of the rod, they report the micrographic examinations performed after mechanical and electrolytic polishing. Sample hardness is discussed. X ray analysis examinations are reported. Based on micrographic examinations, micro-hardness measurements and density measurements, the authors discuss the effect of thermal treatments. Microstructure observations are commented as well as the effect of annealing treatments
