Abstract

Phase transformation of non-stoichiometric intermetallic compound Ti75,5Sn24,5 were studied using High-temperature X-Ray diffraction with heating in situ and TEM techniques. It is shown that this compound is stable orthorhombic phase at room temperature and transforms to the phase with hexagonal structure DO19 during heating, this transformation is reversible. Crystal structure of orthorhombic phase can be described as distorted hcp structure. TEM observation shown typical for martensite twinned microstructure at room temperature. Studied material contains twins which have similar crystal orientation inside one grain. Full text download
