Abstract

Two high-temperature X-ray diffraction cameras are described which have been employed at Battelle to determine thermal expansion of metals and ceramic materials. Specimen preparation and temperature measurement and control are described. Lattice-parameter data vs. temperature are presented for uranium, uranium dioxide, and magnesium oxide.
