- Summary:
- The metastability of alpha plutonium above the α ⇌ β equilibrim transformation temperature (112 C) was studied by metallographic techniques. The purpose of this study was to extend the previous work on the α → β transformation which was accomplished using fluid displacement techniques¹ and to obtain a basis for determining the length of time the alpha phase is stable at high temperatures. Approximate isothermal reaction curves were determined experimentally and an α → β time- temperature-transformation (T-T-T) curve was derived.
