Abstract
The effect of uranium on the transformation kinetics and the hardenability
of a low- alloy steel was evaluated . Isothermal transformation curves were
developed from metallographic studies , and hardenability was determined by
standard Jominy end- quench tests . For the steels investigated , the addition
of 0.15 weight- percent uranium was found to produce a significant shift in the
isothermal transformation curve and caused a related increase in hardenability .
These effects diminished rapidly when the uranium content was increased above
0.2 weight - percent .
