Abstract
The stereology, variant distribution and coarsening behavior of semicoherent α(hcp) precipitates in a β(bcc) matrix of a Ti5553 alloy has been analyzed, and a dominant 3-variant cluster has been observed in which the variants are related to each other by an axis-angle pair <112¯ 0 >/ 60°. Shape and spatial distribution independent elastic self and interaction energies for all pairwise and triplet combinations of α have been calculated and it is found that the 3-cluster combination that is experimentally observed most frequently has the lowest energy for the semicoherent state. The coarsening behavior of the delta distribution follows LSW kinetics after an initial transient, and has been modeled by phase field methods.
