JSC “Chepetsky mechanical
plant” is the enterprise with wide experience in producing of depleted
uranium articles.
Depleted uranium is left
after extraction of U235 from natural uranium. U235
is used in enrichment of nuclear reactor fuel. The level of depleted uranium
irradiation can be compared with Earth's crust radiation background.
Depleted uranium has unique
properties: - high density - 17 -19
g/cm3; - melting point - more
than 1130o C; - tensile strength - to
150 kgs/mm2. - fast neutron absorption
is better than that of lead; - simple mechanical treatment; - possibility of producing
articles with complex configuration by means of casting and stamping; - in combination with stainless
steel high resistance to corrosive medium. All these properties favour
the producing of articles with complex configuration of this metal and
the manufacturing of various devices and instruments for science and industry. Application of our depleted
uranium by your company will be an important step forward in producing
first-rate articles: flaw-detectors, freight containers, scientific and
medical equipment - all apparatus which need reliable biological protection
while operation.
We possess the latest depleted
uranium machining methods which allow us to represent the wide range of
uranium base a11oys with necessary physical, mechanical and service properties;
we are ready to produce the required quantity of various depleted uranium
articles in the shortest time at purchaser's request.
Our enterprise is interested
in expansion of home and international deliveries of depleted uranium finished
articles, rods and sheet. Thorough control of our production quality guarantees
high level of all articles. Methodical check-up and satisfaction of changing
purchasers' requirements is our principal task. We guarantee high quality
of our production!
