Atomic site correspondence and surface relief in the formation of plate-shaped transformation products

Abstract

The concept of an atomic site correspondence between two phases is developed for simple diffusional and martensitic transformations involving precipitate plates. It is shown that a surface relief can be produced in both diffusional and martensitic phase transformations as a result of atomic site correspondence. Extension of this concept to more complicated transformations is discussed.
