Abstract
The compositional limits within which the stable and metastable phases form, the effect of cooling rate and temperature on producing alternative structures, and the sequence of phase changes were determined. The metastable transition states observed were the orthorhombic α′, monoclinic α“ and tetragonal γ 0 phases. Arguments are presented to explain the observed crystal structures and microstructures and the effect of cooling rate and composition thereon. Finally, the relation between metastability in uranium-rhenium alloys and other systems in which metastable states are observed is discussed.
