ABSTRACT:
A powder compact of mixed zirconium, carbon and uranium monocarbide powders is heated to melt first the zirconium constituent. The liquid zirconium reacts with the solid phases by a diffusion controlled process to form zirconium carbide and a (U,Zr)C solution. The compact is then heated to a higher temperature to melt the uranium monocarbide to form additional (U,Zr)C solid solution whereby the final product is composed of a single phase homogeneous solid solution.
