%X The relative deformations of the phases were studied, after 20, 40, 60, and 80 per cent. reductions in area by wire drawing in duplex brasses of various compositions, using as a measure of the degree of deformation the temperature at which recrystallization began. In alloys containing more than about one-third by volume of the hard P phase, crystals of both phases deformed to the same extent, but in alloys containing 10 or 20 per cent. by volume of the &#946; phase, the heavier deformation always occurred in the soft a phase. The mode of recrystallization of the phases varied with the degree of deformation and the volume proportion of the phases.
