ABSTRACT

New diffusion experiments were performed at 340ºC between U-Mo and Al6061 and Al A 356 alloys. Better concentration measurements and XRD identification of crystal structures were possible. Experiments to study eventual changes of the interaction-layer due to the consumption of Si while diffusion is taking place are also presented. (U, Mo)(Al, Si)3 with a concentration of approximately 55 at% of Si, is proposed to be the only component of the interaction layer. The zone, surrounding the interaction layer, where Si precipitates are dissolved, already reported at 550ºC, is also very noticeable at 340ºC.
Results for new temperatures were added to the TTT diagram for g U-7wt%Mo. The influence of Pt as g-stabilizer is also shown.
