Abstract Scope |
{11-22} Twin is the predominant twinning mode in hcp metals such as Ti, Zr and Mg under <c> axis compression. We analyze the {11-22} twin nucleation in Ti by reverse 𝛼-𝜔-𝛼 phase transformation. The twin nucleated by this mechanism can grow by the migration of the {11-22} twin boundary. This migration is mediated by the gliding of line defects with step and dislocation character, i.e. b3/3 disconnection, along with {11-22} twin boundary. Their structure can be interpreted as a pair of disconnections (bt and bt*) i.e. dissociated core of b3/3 disconnection, which contains 𝜔-phase structure inside. These studies reveal the role of 𝜔-phase in the connection with nucleation and growth mechanism of {11-22} twin boundary. These results clarify the uncertainties with the growth of the {11-22} twins. |
