Abstract
The U-Zr system has been studied with particular regard to the existence, stability, and mechanism of formation of the intermediate ô phase. This phase has been identified as a stable phase existing in the region of 50 pet Zr, which forms by the ordering of the y body-centered-cubic alloy on cooling. A phase diagram consistent with the information obtained in this study is presented.
