PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE SOLUBILITY OF OXYGEN IN $alpha$-ZIRCONIUM

Journal Article · · Acta Chemica Scandinavica (Denmark) Divided into Acta Chem. Scand., Ser. A and Ser. B
An investigation was started on the solid solubility range of oxygen in alpha -zirconium. The solubility limit for samples heat-treated at 8O0 C was found to be about ZrO/sub 0.40. After annealing at 800 C, the sample ZrO/sub 0.30 gives x-ray powder photographs which show the oxygen atoms to be distributed at random in the interstices of the zirconium lattice. There are also indications of the vacancies in the oxygen positions being ordered. (J.R.D.)
