Abstract

The phenomenological martensite theory is applied to the β1 to β1 martensitic transformation in Cu-Al. Crystallographic and morphological aspects of the resulting martensitic microstructure are discussed and verified with X-ray pole figures, which are combined with a single surface trace analysis based on the use of polarized light. From the analysis of the orientation of any single martensite plate related to that of one or more neighboring plates, it can be proved that the martensite microstructure in each former β-grain is composed of at most six self-accommodating martensite plate groups, each of which consists of four different martensite plate variants.
