Stress Corrosion Cracking of Uranium Alloys

Abstract

The study was carried out to determine the critical threshold intensity for stress corrosion cracking of several uranium alloys which are candidates for ballistic penetrator and nuclear shell applications. The data reported here are for alloys in the as-extruded condition only and will serve as base-line data for future studies involving the solution-treated-and-aged alloys.
