Abstract

High-temperature X-ray powder photography has proved of great value in many directions in the metallurgical field. Some of the successes achieved and problems encountered by the author and other investigators using an established-type camera (British Unicam) for temperatures up to 1400°C will be discussed. This will be by way of specific case histories, chosen both for their own scientific interest and to illustrate the techniques employed. The applications concern phase transformations and the measurement of coefficients of thermal expansion in iron and steels, as well as in some nonferrous metals and inorganic compounds.
