Transmission electron microscopy was used to study the conditions which ensured the stability of the dislocation framework which formed, during the ordering of a deformed alloy, from dislocations inherited from the disordered state. The stability of the dislocation framework could be broken, before its complete elimination, by long-term isothermal annealing at high temperatures or by continuously heating the alloy. The super-dislocations which were inherited from the ordered state did not form a dislocation framework, and participated actively in recrystallization below the phase transition temperature.
