    Abstract

    The ordering mechanism in CuPt has been investigated by means of electrical resistance measurements, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction. A complex ordering mode consisting of homogeneous and heterogeneous processes is found below 475°C between 475 and 620°C the dispersed ordered domains stop growing. Transformation twins observed near the critical temperature for ordering are related to stress relief in the larger domains. The electrical resistance measurements are correlated with the electron microscopic observations to substantiate this model.
