Abstract

A thermally induced hexagonal close-packed (HCP) to face-centered cubic (FCC) phase transition was investigated in an α-type Ti35 alloy with twinned structure by in situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ab initio calculations. TEM observations indicated that the HCP-Ti to FCC-Ti transition occurred both within matrix/twin and at the twin boundaries in the thinner region of the TEM film, and the FCC-Ti precipitated as plates within the matrix/twin, while as equiaxed cells at twin boundaries. Ab initio calculations showed that the formation of FCC-Ti was related to the contamination of interstitial atoms such as oxygen.
