Abstract
Electron and optical microscopy have been used to study the structure and distribution of mechanical twins in polycrystalline Cu-Ge alloys containing up to 9.5 at.% Ge which had been deformed at room temperature. The probability of twinning occurring increases continuously with rise in concentration of the alloy up to the solubility limit. A reduction in the grain size of a polycrystalline aggregate impedes the development of twinning. It is shown that the twins have an imperfect structure even in the initial stage of growth.
