After a shear band has developed, dead zones form in both uranium and tungsten blocks; the size of the dead zone in the tungsten block is more than that in the uranium block. When the shear modulus for the tungsten is artificially changed so as to equal that for the uranium, the angle...

The corrosion rates of a tungsten reinforced depleted uranium alloy metal matrix composite have been measured, by immersion tests, in three environments (laboratory air, distilled water, and 3.5% NaCl) and compared to the rates of the matrix alloy (DU-0.75 Ti) alone. The corrosion rates of ...
