Popis: Dynamic Young's modulus (E) and mechanical damping (Q−1) measurements were made for three microstructures (γ, α + δ, and α′) of a depleted uranium-0.75 wt% titanium alloy. The temperature range covered was 298 to 1123 K. The apparatus was the piezoelectric ultrasonic composite oscillator technique (PUCOT) operated at 80 kHz. The ranges of values for E and Q−1 were 193 to 99 GPa and 3×10−3 to 8×10−2, respectively. Correlations for E of each heat treatment as functions of temperature are presented. In addition, the mechanical damping against strain amplitude plots generated from PUCOT data were analysed using the Granato-Luecke zero Kelvin and high-temperature theories of dislocation damping. Computed dislocation densities ranged up to 1016m−2.
