One of the densest metals known to man has an unusual name: Depleted Uranium. Its characteristics are unusuaUoo. Depleted uranium is one of the heaviest of metals, with a density of more than 18.4 grams/cc. It can be alloyed with molybdenum and other metals for greater strength and corro sion resistance. And, parts of virtually any size can be vacuum cast and delivered completely ma chined and finished to your specification. Depleted uranium is the ideal material for aircraft and helicopter counterbalance, ballast and bob weights. Aerospace ballast and balance weights. Gyroscope rotor rims and balance weights. Shielding for therapy, radiography and oil well logging. And any of your own not-so-dense ideas.

It has a density greater than 18.4 grams/cc, making it one of the heaviest of commercially available metals. It can be alloyed with molybdenum or other metals for greater strength and corrosion . resistance. . Compared with other dense metals, depleted uranium has a higher density right down the line. And higher tensile strength, too. It is readily fabricated by vacuum melting, casting into de signed molds, and machined into uniform one- piece configurations from a few ounces up to four tons. No need for powder metal lurgy techniques, with attendant limitations on size and uniformity. Depleted uranium is ideal where limited space requires maximum weight. As counter weights for aircraft control surfaces and aircraft linkages. As ballast for missile re-entry vehicles and simulated warheads. As projectiles. As rotors in gyro compasses, inertial guidance sys tems and bomb sights. Or your own not-so- dense ideas. Don't take depleted uranium lightly.
