Abstract

The orientation relationships among TiB (B27), B2, and Ti3Al phases have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. By using the composite selected-area electron diffraction technique, the orientation relationship between TiB (B27) and B2 was determined to be [100]TiB‖[001]B2, (001)TiB‖(010)B2 and that between TiB (B27) and Ti3Al was [010]TiB‖[1120]Ti3Al, (001)TiB‖(0001)Ti3Al. These orientation relationships have been predicted precisely by the method of coincidence of reciprocal lattice points.
