Abstract--An X-ray powder diffraction study of a verrniculitized chlorite in an amphibole schist near Limoges, France, shows the following weathering sequence: chlorite ~ ordered interstratified chlorite/ vermiculite ~ vermiculite. M6ssbauer spectroscopy indicates that vermiculitization proceeded by the release of ferrous iron from the 2:1 mica layer of the chlorite. The ferric iron content of the vermiculite product is almost the same as that of the initial chlorite. Infrared spectroscopy and chemical microprobe analyses show that Mg was preferentially extracted from the hydroxide sheet of the chlorite, whereas the Si and A1 contents progressively increased to the point of the formation of a pure dioetahedral alnminous vermiculite. The Si, A1, and Mg removal processes support currently accepted vermiculitization mechanisms, but the behavior of Fe is slightly different. In this weathering sequence, vermiculitization does not appear to have taken place by the oxidation of Fe 2+, but rather, by the simultaneous leaching of Fe 2 § and Mg.

La spectroscopic M6ssbauer indique que la vermiculitisation op6re par lib6ration du fer, h l'&at ferreux, hors du feuillet 2:1 de la chlorite. La teneur en fer ferrique de la vermiculite est voisine de celle de la chlorite. Les analyses h la microsonde et en spectroscopic infrarouge montrent que Mg est pr6f6-rentiellement lib6r6 de la couche brucitique de la chlorite tandis que les teneurs en Si et A1 augmentent avec l'alt6ration jusqu'~ la cristaUisation d'une vermiculite diocta6drique alumineuse. Les m6chanismes de lib6ration de Si, A1, et Mg sont semblables ~ ceux habituellement admis pour la vermiculitisation, mais le comportement du fer est diff6rent. Dans cette s6quence d'alt6ration, la vermiculitisation ne proc6de pas par oxydation du fer, mais par d6part simultan6 du fer ferreux et du magn6sium.
The variations in flow stress of Fe-Co: 2 atyo V as a function of test or quench temperature exhibit a maximum near the critical temperature for ordering, T,. Transmission microscope study of thin foils reveals the existence of paired dislocations not only at temperatures below T, but also at temperatures above T, where only short-range order exists; calculations of their equilibrium spacing using the quasi-chemical theory [6] are in agreement with experimental results. The peak in flow stress may be explained assuming that for high values of S (S is the long-range order parameter) the dislocation sources are constituted by paired dislocations which keep parallel configurations when operating, and that for low values of S (or 8 = 0 ) sources are constituted by single dislocations or by paired dislocations with only one of them operating.Lea variations de la, limite blastique du Fe-Co: 2 atyo V en fonction de la tempbrature d'essai ou de la tempbrature de trempe prbsentent un maximum proche de la tempbrature critique d'ordre T,.
