A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF FABRICATING CONDITIONS ON SOME PROPERTIES OF SINTERED URANIUM MONOCARBIDE

摘要

In a supplementary study for the AEC Division of Research, the effect of initial particle size (6.2 and 14.7p.), forming pressure (50,000 and 100,000 psi), temperature (1600 and 1800 C), and time at temperature (1 and 3 hr) on the bulk density, grain size, and porosity of sintered uranium monocarbide compacts was studied..[Apparatus and procedures were described in BMI-1223 and-BMl-1313.nWithin the Units of the variables studied, there appeared to be no significant changes in these properties of the sintered material attributable to the changes in the fabricating conditions.
