The kinetics and mode of transformation of metastable gamma in the uranium-molybdenum system have been investigated. Electrical-resistance measurements made during isothermal transformation, supported by metallographic and hardness data, indicate the gamma-to-delta transformation to be an ordering reaction which probably proceeds by nucleation and growth of the ordered phase. A "C-curve" type behavior for the transformation is inferred from resistance measurements and metallographic observations of the 30 a/o alloy. An aging effect is attributed to coherency stresses in the matrix prior to precipitation of the ordered phase. The gamma phase of the 21 a/o molybdenum alloy decomposes by a nucleation and growth mechanism to yield a lamellar distribution of the alpha and delta phases. The ordered, intermediate phase, delta, is body-centered tetragonal with a = 6.84 A and c =6.55 A. The solubility limits on the high-uranium side of the delta phase are substantiated.
