TITLE: Compatibility Of Ethylene Oxide And Aluminum

Procedure:
Aluminum filings were loaded into a glass capillary and then ethylene oxide was condensed over it by freezing the sample capillary in liquid nitrogen. The capillary was then sealed and analyzed on the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) from -25 deg.C to 250 deg.C at 10 deg./minute.
Results:
An endotherm was detected which started at --15 deg.C and peaking at 5 deg.C. This is approximately the melting point of water.
An exothermic shift was detected at -192 deg.C. The critical temperature of ethylene oxide occurs approximately at this temperature (195.8 deg.C in literature).

A rod of Metcaloy was submitted for examination by Energy Dispersive X-ray. The exterior was found to be made of aluminum, while the interior was high in both aluminum and nickel.
The elemental scans are attached.
