A note on the application of glass coatings to uranium

JSGT 1958 V42 T248-T252

A technique is described for the application of continuous coatings of a high expansion barium phosphate glass to uranium. The coatings were fired on at a temperature of 650°C in an atmosphere of purified argon. Best results were obtained when the coating was applied electro-phoretically and when metal of fine grainsize was used.
