In this study, the structure of Ag_(50)Pd_(50) alloy was investigated with temperature dependent in-situ X-ray diffraction, residual resistometry, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. An isochronal annealing experiment was performed to determine the impact of ordering on the residual electrical resistivity. The residual resistivity curve shows a sharp mínimum near 523 K indicating the on-set of ordering. The in-situ X-ray diffraction data taken for a well annealed sample shows no super lattice reflections over the investigated temperature range but the lattice parameter determined from this data shows an abrupt decrease in its value at 523 K showing an order-disorder phase transformation (ODPT). The diffraction pattern of a sample annealed at 503 K shows splitting of the high angle 511 fundamental reflection due to the tetragonal distortion. The peak intensity and c/a ratios are found to be 1:1.94 and 1.0028, respectively. A similar phase change was also observed during a DSC experiment around 523 K on this alloy. The existence of these anomalies may be attributed to L1o - FCC type order-disorder phase transformation at this temperature.
