| Abstract |
| Microstructural development in sintered uranium dioxide
pellets was studied with reference to (1) origin of the powder
and (2) time, temperature and other conditions of sintering.
Changes in the microstructure of the sintered pellets when
reheated at temperatures below and above sintering temperature
for various periods of time have also been studied.
It was found that a judicious choice of the powder with
desired characteristics and a judicious choice of optimum
conditions for sintering of the powder have to be utilized to
attain controlled microstructure. The grain size can be
increased and grain development made more perfect by an
appropriate thermal treatment of the sintered pellets. |
