Abstract

The UO 2 –Al 2 O 3 phase equilibrium system was found to contain no new compounds or solid solutions. Uranium dioxide melted at 2878°± 22°C. and Al 2 O 3 melted at 2034°± 16°C. The eutectic temperature was approximately 1930°C. There is an indication that two immiscible liquids formed above the eutectic temperature between 53 and 74 mole % Al 2 O 3 .
