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.
