Microstructural changes were studied by means of electron microscopy for a Cu-15.0 at%Sn alloy aged at 373 K or 323 K. The as-quenched alloy was confirmed to consist of many small domains of an ω-like phase (designated as the s-phase) and a DO3 matrix. It was observed that in the alloy aged at 373 K another phase (designated as the L-phase) precipitates preferentially on dislocations and coarsens to larger than 0.2 μm in diameter. In the alloy aged at 323 K the L-phase was formed, but then decomposed into small irregular segments upon subsequent aging. After aging below 323 K for a prolonged time, both the s- and L-phases underwent alteration to a transitional phase which showed additional extra diffraction spots. The precipitation of the L-phase is believed to be responsible for the decrease in the martensite transformation temperature (Ms) upon aging.
