High‐temperature X‐ray diffraction methods have been used to determine unit‐cell parameters of two boron carbide compositions from 12° to about 940°C. One composition was at the carbon‐rich end of the phase field ( i.e. B 4 C), the second at the boron‐rich end (5 at. % C by chemical analysis). The lattice expansion of both substances was isotropic in the temperature range studied. The mean linear thermal expansion coefficient for the carbon‐rich composition is 5.65 x 10 −6 °C −1 , while that of the boron‐rich composition is 5"87 x 10 −6 °C −1 .
