Joslyn Manufacturing And Supply Company
Also Known As: Joslyn Stainless Steel Co.
State: Indiana
Location: Ft. Wayne
Time Period: March 1943-1952
Facility Type: Atomic Weapons Employer
Facility Description
Joslyn rolled uranium rods from billets for use by the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) and the Atomic Energy Comission (AEC) in weapons production.
Process Descriptions
Considerable early work at Joslyn Manufacturing was for the purpose of determining the best procedures for rolling and machining natural uranium rods, which made it necessary that the procedures changed over time; however, the basic process remained fairly consistent. Natural uranium billets were received by rail at Joslyn Manufacturing, unloaded by an overhead crane onto carts, and stored in a storage area. The billets were taken, as needed, from the storage area to the
tempering area, pre-heated in one of eight small natural-gas-atmosphere electric furnaces to a specified temperature, and moved to the rolling mills (an 18-inch roughing stand, 12-inch intermediate mill, and a 9-inch finishing mill were used) where passes occurred (Army Corps, 2005, pdf pp. 6-7). These rolling mills were located in close proximity in one large area, approximately 25 feet from the furnaces. Time was allowed for the rolls to cool between passes in order to prevent the metal from exceeding a specified temperature.
