Observations have been made on coarsening of O-&Al2 precipitates at the surface of AI-G alloys. One specific area was examined over extended periods so that dissolution and growth of individual precipitates could be followed. It was found that nearly all precipitates shrank on ageing, even those lar

In the AI-Cu system precipitates of the intermediate 0' phase generally nualeate at low-angle boundaries and precipitates of the equilibrium 0 phase form at high-angle boundaries. A few exceptions oocur where 8' precipitates form at high-angle boundaries and these have been studied by transmission e
Discussion of "Mechanisms of formation of 8 precipitates in AM% Cu" by C. Laird and H. I.

The heights of ledges on 0' plates in Al-4 wt"/, Cu annealed for 90 min at 275°C after a solution treatment for 24 h at 540°C have been determined by convergent beam electron diffraction and lattice plane imaging. Ledges with smaller heights (between 0.29 and 2 nm) than those found by Weatherly and
