AbstractThe gallium-stabilized Pu-2.0 at. % Ga alloy undergoes a partial or incomplete low-temperature martensitic transformation from the metastable δ phase to the gallium-containing, monoclinic α′ phase near -100 °C. This transformation has been shown to occur isothermally and it displays anomalous double-C kinetics in a time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagram, where two nose temperatures anchoring an upper- and lower-C describe minima in the time for the initiation of transformation. The underlying mechanisms responsible for the double-C behavior are currently unresolved, although recent experiments suggest that a conditioning treatment—wherein, following an anneal at 375 °C, the sample is held at a sub-anneal temperature for a period of time—significantly influences the upper-C of the TTT diagram. As such, elucidating the effects of the conditioning treatment upon the δ⟶α′ transformation can provide valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing the double-C kinetics of the transition. Following a high-temperature anneal, a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to establish an optimal conditioning curve that depicts the amount of α′ formed during the transformation as a function of conditioning temperature for a specified time. With the optimal conditioning curve as a baseline, the DSC was used to explore the circumstances under which the effects of the conditioning treatment were destroyed, resulting in little or no transformation.

AbstractA review of research in the author's laboratory on the conversion of reactive liquids to amorphous polymeric glasses is presented. Inter-relationships between reactants, reaction conditions, and subsequent material properties of thermosetting and high Tg polymers are discussed from the point of view of a generalized time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagram.

AbstractUnder ambient conditions, a Pu-2.0 at.% Ga alloy is retained in the metastable δ phase. Upon cooling to approximately -120 °C, the face-centered-cubic δ phase partially transforms to the metastable monoclinic α′ phase via a martensitic transformation. The kinetics of the δ⟶α′ transformation are reported to have double-C curve kinetics in a time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagram, but the mechanisms responsible for this unusual behavior are not understood. Our work focuses on determining the underlying cause of the two noses. Optical microscopy has been used to investigate the role of “conditioning”—an isothermal hold at sub-anneal temperatures—on the δ⟶α′ transformation and to illuminate any disparities in transformation products. Conditioning was found to affect substantially the amount of transformation that occurs at particular points corresponding to both the upper- and lower-C of the TTT diagram.
