Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
THE METHOD OF MAKING A CARBON BODY FOR USE IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR WHICH COMPRISES MAKING A FINELY DIVIDED MIXTURE OF CARBON, AND OF LESS THAN ABOUT 10 WEIGHT PERCENT OF A DIFFUSIONAL BONDING MATERIAL SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF ZIRCONIUM, NIOBIUM, MOLYBDENUM, TITANIUM, NICKEL, CHROMIUM, SILICON AND DECOMPOSABLE COMPOUNDS THEREOF, HEATING SAID MIXTURE TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 1500*C. AT WHICH TEMPERATURE DIFFUSIONAL BONDING WILL BE EFFECTED WHILE MAINTAINING IT UNDER A MECHANICAL PRESSURE OF OVER ABOUT 3,000 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH, THE ENTIRE BODY OF SAID MIXTURE BEING HEATED TO A SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM TEMPERATURE.
