Abstract

Detailed crystallographic analysis was carried out on the martensitic transformation and the various variant combinations in 18R martensite in a Cu–Zn–Al alloy. The self-accommodation of martensitic shear strain is quite perfect within a variant group, but not effective or even does not exist for variant combinations which belong to different groups. Twenty-three unique variant combinations between 24 martensite variants can be divided into four groups, i.e. reflection twin, 180° rotation twin, 120° rotation twin and 90° rotation twin. TEM and HREM observations show that the A/C boundary is straight, well-defined and perfectly coherent, the A/B boundary is irrational, coherent and gradually curved, and the A/D boundary is stepped. The A/C and A/B boundaries have obvious mobility, and the mobility is not effective for A/D boundary. The interplate group boundaries are curved, blurred and immobile. The morphology, structure and mobility of interplate boundary are all related to the degree of self-accommodation and the misorientation of twin boundary.
