Abstract

The β-phase of Cu-Zn and Cu-Zn-Ga alloys partially transforms when cold worked at low temperatures. X-ray data are presented on the new structures formed (which depend upon composition), on densities of stacking faults in them, on Md temperatures, and on the tendency to revert to body-centered-cubic structure.
