Analysis of the transformation strain associated with the hexagonal-to-orthorhombic transition in Ti₃Sn

Abstract

This review is dedicated to the analysis of the hexagonal-to-orthorhombic transition into Ti₃Sn. The place of martensitic transformation into broader category of displacive (diffusionless) transformations is shown from the point of view of a transformation strain associated with the transition. The transformation strain regarded to the transformation into Ti₃Sn was analyzed and the displacive shear-dominant (martensitic) origin of this transition was shown. The latter part of the work is dedicated to the comparison of the volume change and transformation temperature in Ti₃Sn with those into other materials undergoing martensitic transformation.
