Internal hydrogen embrittlement in uranium alloys
Description
This paper describes the use of measured hydrogen solubilities and diffusivities to establish methods for heat treating uranium alloys under conditions such that predictable and homogeneous hydrogen contamination is obtained in alloy specimens having well-defined metallurgical histories. From such a series of specimens, correlations are drawn between theoretical hydrogen content and measured properties such as tensile elongation and reduction in area, tensile strength, hydrogen trace analysis, and fracture characteristics. Such correlations are presented for the following alloys: U-0.75Ti, U-2.3Nb, U-6Nb, U-8.5Nb, U-10Nb, U-10Mo, U-7.5Nb-2.5Zr, and unalloyed uranium
