Abstract

Simulation of the multi-step transformation of cubic matrix → multi-variant tetragonal domain → orthorhombic domain was realized by phase-field method. The intrinsic micromechanism of the second-step transformation in MnNi alloys was studied. It was found that the orthorhombic variant originated from the tetragonal variant with similar orientation, and bar-shaped orthorhombic phase firstly occurred around the interface of twinning bands. The second-step transformation resulted in localized variation of internal stress.
