Abstract

The hexacelsian-celsian transformation from grains of 1/4 in. (0.635 cm) size is slow and erratic. This is because the rate of heterogeneous nucleation in such grains is low and is influenced by contamination present in the furnace. When the grain size is reduced to a −200 mesh powder, heterogeneous nucleation becomes a dominant factor and the transformation is accelerated. The transformation has three stages: the first is controlled by the rate of crystal growth, the second is controlled by the rates of nucleation and crystal growth, and the third is controlled by the rate of nucleation.
