Abstract

A new general method is proposed for determining the orientation of a parent crystal and the habit plane normals of a plate-shaped product phase without the aid of X-ray experiments. The determination starts with measuring angles between traces formed by the intersection of product phase variants with the surface of a specimen. The results reported are obtained by applying the method to three specific cases. As one of the applications, the unknown orientation of the habit plane of a 2H-stacking ordered martensite in a Ni3Sn alloy is determined as {3 3 1}.
