Abstract

It is established by x-ray structure analysis that the oxide film formed on the surface of uranium during oxidation by dry oxygen at pressures of 0.1–0.001 Pa and temperatures of 500–700 °C for several hours consists of UO2 with U4O9 inclusions. Near the surface of the uranium the temperature of the α→β phase transition is lowered by 150–160 °C in comparison with the transition in the bulk of the metal, and the low-temperature stabilization of the β phase of uranium is observed.
