Abstract
The cleavage fracture of the two alloys U-1.4 mass % Mo and U-1.4 mass % Mo - 0.7 mass % Zr is investigated in the temperature range from -1 96 to 800 degrees C. The critical levels of shock-wave loading corresp onding to the nucleation of cleavage defects and total macroscopic fai lure of the sample are determined. Data on the failure of the alloy at different temperatures are obtained by metallographic analysis.
