Abstract
Titanium-based shape memory alloys undergo a cubic to orthorhombic martensitic transformation (β to α'' martensite). A new easy way operating as a reconstruction of the parent microstructure is used from electron backscattered diffraction. It is shown that the electron backscattered patterns of the martensitic microstructure can be directly indexed as the parent phase in order to obtain the correct orientation of the high temperature microstructure. This method is however specific to the cubic/orthorhombic martensitic transformation in titanium shape memory alloys.
