Abstract
The Debye-Scherrer method has been used to study the sequence of
precipitation structures in a two percent beryllium-copper alloy. A
special x-ray camera fitted with a furnace was used to follow the age-hardening
process at controlled elevated temperatures. It is concluded
that no intermediate structure exists which is capable of three dimensional
diffraction. Two earlier investigations of this system suggest
the existence of intermediate structures. It is shown in this paper
that these intermediate structures are actually oxides of beryllium-copper.
Existing confusion regarding the correct lattice parameters of
the alpha and beta prime phases has been eliminated with the determination
of their precise values.
