Abstract
A three-dimensional phase field model applicable for the B2-B19′ martensitic phase transformation of NiTi alloys was developed to predict the twinning modes in the B2-B19′ transition. The phase field simulation results showed that by taking into account the transformation induced elastic strain, the martensite variants were self-accommodated and sheared along the specific interface in the entire transition stage for reducing the elastic energy, whether the formed interface between the variants belongs to twinning plane could be determined by calculating the minimum value of long range elastic interaction energy, Bpq. Through comparison with the existing analytical solutions, it is demonstrated that the phase field model can be used to predict the type I twinning modes in the B2-B19′ phase transition with good precision.
