International audienceDeformation twinning of the Ti–25Ta–20Nb (mass%) shape memory alloy is characterized using EBSD and TEM. The selfaccommodating α″ microstructure is shown to be first deformed using \111\α″ type I and <211>α″ type II reorientation twinning. Plastic deformation occurs further by plastic twinning with a new \130\<310>α″ twinning system. Maximum lattice deformation calculation is a relevant parameter to predict the variant of martensite that is favored during the reorientation process. Conversely, Schmid factor analysis can be used to predict the selection of \130\<310>α″ twinning variants during deformation. Analogy between \130\<310>α″ and \332\<113>β twinning systems is highlighte
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
