Abstract: The results of an investigation of the density, microstructure, thermophysical properties, and melting point of uranium-molybdenum pellets produced by powder metallurgy are reported. The obtained results were compared with similar data for uranium-molybdenum ingots. The properties of uranium-molybdenum pellets fabricated by powder metallurgy are shown to be in good agreement with the properties of ingots obtained by casting.
