microscopy, followed closely the procedures used in the earlier work on the stoichiometric alloy. ~'z Briefly, the alloys as illustrated in the partial phase diagram in Fig. i were disordered by quenching from 450~ into water and then aged at various temperatures within the Cu3Au I ordered phase region. The APD structures produced by various aging treatments were studied with a Hitachi HU-IIA electron microscope operating at I00 kV. Average APD sizes were determined from 110 dark field images obtained from grains having (Ii0} foil norreals. As in the previous work, 2 the APD sizes were measured by lineal analysis with a circular test line /~25 I
