Description/Abstract:
ISOTHERMAL REACTION CURVES WERE OBTAINED FOR SAMPLES QUENCHED FROM HIGH IN THE BETA PHASE TO TEMPERATURES BELOW THE BETA TO ALPHA TRNAFORMATION TEMPERATURE AND HELD ISOTHERMALLY UNTIL TRANSFORMATION WAS APPRENTLY COMPLETED. TIME-TEMPERATURE-TRANSFORMATION CURVES WERE SKETCHED FORM THESE CURVES. AFTER REACTION WAS APPARENTLY COMPLETED AT EACH HOLDING TEMPERATURE, THE SAMPLES WERE QUENCHED TO -20C AND REWEIGHED IN SOLUTION AT THE HOLDING TEMPERATURE.
