The flow behavior and dislocation substructure present in ruthenium aluminide polycrystals due to deformation at room temperature and 77 K have been studied. Dislocations with three different types of Burgers vectors have been identified after 1--2% deformation in compression at 77 K and room temperature: {l_angle}100{r_angle}, {l_angle}110{r_angle} and {l_angle}111{r_angle}. The {l_angle}100{r_angle} and {l_angle}110{r_angle} dislocations are present with approximately equal densities, while the {l_angle}111{r_angle} are only occasionally observed. Trace analyses show that the majority of the dislocations are mixed in character and lie on {l_angle}110{r_angle} type planes. The implications of these observations with regard to the number of independent slip systems and the intrinsic deformability of this material are discussed.
