Abstract
A process for the production of depleted uranium metal particles comprising heating depleted uranium metal to red heat, rapidly chilling the heated metal, grinding the resulting brittlized metal to form powder size particles, annealing the particles and coating the particles with silver, copper, or lead, wherein the grinding and annealing are carried out in an inert argon atmosphere. The invention also contemplates the resulting depleted uranium metal powder, compositions containing the same as well as the liners for shaped charges formed therefrom.
