An experimental study by TEM was made of the morphology of the antiphase domains formed when heavily rolled Cu{sub 3}Au is annealed at a temperature slightly below the critical temperature for ordering, {Tc}. Domains are formed at the advancing grain boundary with extremely small size and grow as recrystallization proceeds. From an early stage, domain walls show a preference for (100) orientation. The key question is raised whether domain formation during recrystallization entails the presence of a disordered zone at a moving grain boundary near {Tc}, and the conclusion is that such a zone is probably present. A provisional theory is constructed for the genesis of domains during recrystallization, taking into account the dragging force which newly formed domains exert on a moving grain boundary thereby diminishing the effective driving force for grain boundary motion, and a critical domain size is estimated which should completely inhibit grain-boundary motion. The intriguing fact that no domains at all are formed during the recrystallization of strongly ordered intermetallics such as Ni{sub 3}Al is briefly discussed and a reason is proposed.
