System and method for controlling oxidation of metals during freeform casting
A system is disclosed for printing a component. The system may have a nozzle controlled for movement within a plane. The nozzle may be configured to dispense a molten metal. A substrate may be positioned within a reservoir. The substrate may receive the molten metal to form the component in a printing operation. A heated barrier material in a molten state may be contained within the reservoir for forming a liquid barrier between an atmosphere and the substrate. The nozzle has a tip which is submerged within the liquid barrier while dispensing the molten metal during the printing operation. The liquid barrier forms a barrier between an atmosphere in a vicinity of the substrate and the substrate.

Novel Synthesis and Characterization of Uranium-Zirconium Carbonitride by Direct Casting
UZrCN has exhibited thermophysical properties beneficial to high temperature reactor applications such as nuclear thermal rockets. The present work investigates a novel liquid phase synthesis method involving the admission of nitrogen gas during arc melting of uranium, zirconium, and carbon. Initial microstructural examinations using SEM indicated that the samples remain heterogenous with zirconium-rich cores in a uranium-rich matrix. Heterogeneity resulted from large differences in melting temperature of the major constituents and rapid solidification. Additional EDS, combustion analysis, and inert gas fusion analysis proved that the core regions have both uranium and zirconium and establish that carbon and nitrogen are retained during the fabrication process. XRD clarifies that the light elements did not form compounds with the uranium matrix but rather incorporated into the core region forming a sub-stoichiometric UZrCN. Heat treatment performed on equimolar U-Zr-C resulted in an increase in the homogenous phase present with an XRD pattern reflecting a ternary UZrCN despite small amounts of segregation in the final button.
