Description / Abstract:
Form:
This specification covers depleted uranium in the form of
castings.
Application:
Primarily for use as aircraft cast counterweights where it is
desirable to produce compound contours without machining and where
space limitations require the use of a high-density material.
Applications in oxidizing atmospheres necessitate a protective
coating.
Alloy covered by this specification is radioactive. All
applicable rules and regulations pertaining to handling of
radioactive material and all licensing provisions for use of such
material should be observed. It is the sole responsibility of the
user of this material to ensure familiarity with the safe and
proper use of hazardous materials and to take necessary
precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all
personnel involved.
