Precipitates of Al[sub 2]Ti with three different stacking sequences have been observed in Fe-modified L1[sub 2]-type ordered Al[sub 3]Ti specimens. Two of the stacking sequences have been observed previously. The third type of Al[sub 2]Ti, Al[sub 2]Ti[sup III], is identified in this study using conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Al[sub 2]Ti precipitates form as plates along [l brace]100[r brace] planes and compression tests performed at liquid N temperature show microcracks occurring along those [l brace]100[r brace] planes. The Al[sub 2]Ti phase is believed to be responsible for the low cleavage strength that is observed.
