REVIEW OF DIMENSIONAL INSTABILITY IN METALS

Abstract

This memorandum discusses some of the problems that arise as a result of dimensional instability, and presents data on stability, precision mechanical properties, and stabilization procedures for a variety of materials. The memorandum is intended to supplement DMIC Memorandum 189, A Review of Dimensional Instability in Metals, by F. C. Holden, and dated March 19, 1964. Emphasis is placed on the causes and effects of dimensional instability. These are discussed, and available information on how they can be controlled is presented.
