Table I. The samples for hardness and transmission electron microscopy (cut from the cast ingots after homogenizing annealing) were quenched from 880~ f r o m the argon atmosphere directly into the ice-water bath, using a specially constructed furnace. The samples were rolled directly after quenching up to the deformation of 30 and 70 pct and then aged at 400 and 600~ Thin foils were obtained by polishing using

the window method in an electrolyte consisting of 30 pct nitric acid and 70 pct methanol at -50~ A Philips 301 EM operating at 100 Kv, fitted with double tilt x - y or tilt rotation goniometer stages was used in the present study. The dark field method was applied for studying th
