Abstract:

An investigation of the interphase boundary structure of grain boundary alpha allotriomorphs in a Ti-7.15 WO Cr alloy now in progress has established that complex, multiple sets of ledges are present at the interphase boundaries of allotriomorphs between not only the B grain with respect to which the allotriomorphs is Burgers oriented but also with respect to the adjacent B grain, with which the allotriomorph necessarily has a non-Burgers orientation relationship. Questions are arising, however, as to whether certain systems of ledges are immobile structural and growth ledges. Resolution of the misfit dislocations which must be present on the terraces of both types of ledges and distinguishing between misfit dislocations and ledges with short risers are important problems which have arisen in TEM studies of these interphase boundaries.
