The foil n o r m a l is [002], and the p a r t i c l e s lie along the [020] and [200] d i r e c t i o n s . (1000 n m = 1pro).

and the third type occurs from the diffraction of the {220} matrix reflections, by {110} oxide planes. After further aging, the ordered Cu4Ti particles could be imaged by using a superlattice reflection. Fig. 3 shows the ordered particles that exist after aging a 5.17 wt pct Ti alloy 1000 min at 450~ The 1.55 and 3.08 wt pct alloys both have been observed z to o r d e r after aging at temperatures above 375~ Comparison of satellite and superlattice intensities implies that the spinodal reaction occurs METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS

first. The ordering reaction begins in the titanium enriched regions probably after a certain critical titanium composition is reached in them. The two reactions then occur together. The Cu-Ti binary is therefore an example of an alloy in which both phase separation and ordering occur simultaneously, consistent with recent theoretical predictions, v The Cu4Ti phase is metastable.
