Crystal dynamics of forming ε-martensite with {334}α habitus planes in titanium

Abstract

Formation of crystals with {334}α habitus planes often observed in titanium during the BCC-HCP (α-ε) reorganization is considered in the context of the dynamic theory of martensitic transformations. It is demonstrated that the fast wave growth of the crystals is started in elastic fields of edge dislocations with lines <11combining overline 0>α and Burgers vectors <001>α. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
