BCC-BCC Orientation relationships, Surface Relief and Displacive Phase Transformations in Steel

H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

Abstract

There exists a crystallographic degeneracy in the F.C.C. to B.C.C. transformation such that it is possible to understand the tent-like relief associated with some Widmanstatten ferrite plates in terms of the formation of back-to-back mutually accommodating variants. The general arguments presented in the paper are valid also for bainite and martensite.
