Zr-rich U-xZr (x = 40.5, 52 & 75 wt%) alloys were prepared by arc melting technique to improve homogeneity and microstructural attributes. The solidus-liquidus temperatures, phase transformation, and crystallographic growth were studied using spot technique, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results showed different solidus-liquidus temperatures for each Zr content, and the presence of different phases depending on the Zr content. The composition analysis revealed low uncertainties in determining the U and Zr composition.
Zr rich U-xZr (x = 40.5, 52 & 75 wt%) alloys were prepared by arc melting technique that improved the ho-mogeneity and microstructural attributes of the alloys. The solidus-liquidus temperatures, phase transformation and crystallographic growth of these alloys were studied with spot technique, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) techniques. The solidus-liquidus temperatures were determined as 1895, 1948, 2015 K and 1951, 1996, 2046 K for 40.5, 52 and 75 wt% Zr alloys, respectively. In addition, the peritectoid transformation for 40.5 wt% Zr alloys was obtained at 868 K and the eutectoid transformation for 75 wt% Zr alloy was obtained at 864 K. Lattice parameters of the alloys were estimated through Reitveld refinement of the XRD patterns, and the variations of lattice parameters as a function of Zr content were compared with the existing literature data. It was observed that U-Zr alloys with 40.5 and 52 wt% Zr consisted of hexagonal 6-UZr2 phase only, however, alloy with 75 wt% Zr showed the presence of both 6-UZr2 and & alpha;-Zr phases. The compositional analysis by Davies and Gray method revealed that the maximum uncertainties in determining the composition for U and gravimetry for Zr were less than 0.5 wt% and 1 wt%, respectively.
