Crystallographic properties of depleted uranium alloys (0.75 wt% Ti) with two different heat treatments were studied by neutron powder diffraction methods. The crystal structures are essentially the same as that of pure α-uranium metal, but with somewhat different unit-cell dimensions. The super-saturated Ti impurity in the quenched sample is primarily substitutional. Diffraction lines of the quenched uranium alloy showed a clear strain broadening. The r.m.s. strain obtained from the broadening was 0.0019.
