Abstract
Plate-shaped athermal ω phase (ωP) has been observed for the first time in an as-quenched Ti-5.26 wt.% Cr alloy, forming a plate pair with α′ martensite. The orientation relationship is determined as: [01̄1]β // [21̄1̄0]ωp // [0 0 0 1]α′, (2 2 2)β // (0 0 0 1)ωp 0.5 away from (112̄0)α′, with the habit plane (54̄4̄)β // (06̄61)ωp // (34̄10)α′. Such observations are explained well using the edge-to-edge matching model. The singular α′/ωP interface implies that α′ martensite is likely to act as a heterogeneous nucleation site for ωP.
