The observations on quantity and configuration of dislocations by TEM conventional diffraction contrast method as well as the determinations of the electron charge density distributions by the quantitative electron crystallography method in Ti47. 5A12. 5V deformed at 400°C and room temperature (R. T.) have been carried out. The metallic bonding between Al—Al or Ti—Ti atom pair along <C110] and Ti — Ti along <C112] direction is strengthened; while the metallic bonding between Ti — Al atom pair both along <C101] and <12l] direction is weakened at 400°C. The quantities of a/2<110], a/2<112] and dissociated a <101] (a[101] →a/2[110] + a/3[112] + SISF+a/6[112] ) dislocations are increased at 400°C, compared with that at R. T.. The a/ 2 < 121] superdislocations have not been seen both at 400°C and R. T..
