Abstract

Causes are investigated for the changes in precipitate crystal structure (fcc to 9R) and in morphology (degenerate plate to plate), which are observed to take place in Cr-Ni alloys as the reaction temperature decreases. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study is performed to determine the matrix/precipitate orientation relationship, habit plane, and growth ledge spacing. O-lattice modeling is used to show that it is likely that the metastable 9R phase forms as a transition phase at lower reaction temperatures because lattice matching at the bcc/9R habit plane is better than the matching at the bcc/fcc habit plane. The ability of the phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography (PTMC) to predict the habit plane of 9R plates precipitated by a diffusional mechanism is explained by the small lattice invariant deformation required to produce an invariant plane in Cr-Ni. Under this circumstance, the PTMC habit plane nearly coincides with the best-matching interface that presumably appears and is predicted by O-lattice theory.
