| Abstract: | The electrolytic polishing of uranium-rich U-Nb and U-Zr alloys was investigated. The Disa-Electropol'' electrolytic polisher was used in the tests with the electrolyte being a mixture based on perchloric acid and alcohol. The effects of the polishing time and the potential used and the relationships between voltage and time and between current and voltnge were determined for U-Zr alloys. The results showed that the electrolyte used gave relatively goed results for U-Zr alloys. The same technique was applied to Nb-U alloys, but poor results were obtained. (J.S.R.) |
