Growth and Nucleation of the β→α Transformation in Uranium 0.45 per cent Chromium Alloy

Abstract

THIS communication describes some experiments with uranium 0.45 per cent chromium, the purpose of which was to measure the growth and nucleation rates of α-uranium during the β→α transformation. To the best of our knowledge, these results are the first quantitative measurements of growth-rate of the β→α transformation.
