Abstract

As is the case with all solid state transformations, massive transformations have some characteristic distinguishing features. They are diffusional transformations controlled mainly by diffusion of atoms at the transformation interfaces. There is universal agreement that composition-invariance is one characteristic feature of massive transformations and that a relatively rapid movement of the transformation interfaces is another. Other features involved in massive transformations are the subject of some controversy. Among these is the question of orientation relationships, nucleation features, and the mode of growth. In this article, some of the controversial aspects are discussed with reference to recent publications.
