The single-crystal elastic constants of tetragonal Al/sub 2/Cu have been measured over the temperature range 4.2--300 K by the pulse-echo-overlap technique. The directly measured constants show a normal monotonic decrease in magnitude with increasing temperature but with C/sub 4/4 showing the least change. The anisotropy ratios C/sub 3/3/C/sub 1/1, C/sub 1/2/C/sub 1/3, and C/sub 4/4/C/sub 6/6 show only small percentage changes between 4.2 and 300 K, but 2C/sub 4/4/(C/sub 1/1-C/sub 1/2) changes by nearly a factor of 2. Comparison of data for Zr/sub 2/Ni with that for Al/sub 2/Cu indicates some importance of atomic size effects. A Debye temperature of 402 K was evaluated from the elastic constants at 4.2 K.
