The potential for β grain boundaries (GBs) to give rise to large Widmanstätten colonies was determined through the observation of a large amount of precipitates at β GBs in a β-metastable titanium alloy using electron backscatter imaging and diffraction. The most critical boundaries are those which transform early and where a type of Variant Selection (VS) called double Burgers VS occurs. This mechanisms take place at ‘special’ β boundaries misoriented so that an α precipitate can be related to both grains through the Burgers relation. It was shown that the most critical GBs have a disorientation at an angle of less than 10° from 49.5°/<110> or 60°/<110>. A simulation study allowed those boundaries to be quantifed in crystallographic textures typical of industrial products. Those texture have then been discussed as a function of their potential to form large Widmanstätten colonies.

The transformation texture associated with martensite formation in the titanium alloy Ti- 6Al-4V has been investigated. Samples were heated into the fully b phase and quenched to form a microstructure of very fine a' martensite with no evidence of diffusional transformation at the prior b grain boundaries. EBSD texture measurements on the martensite showed that within each prior b grain, although typically all 12 variants of a’ were formed, the fractions of variants was far from uniform. The a’ texture was markedly different from values calculated using equal variant probability, also indicating that significant variant selection was occurring during martensitic transformation. This effect was modelled on the basis of elastic interaction between martensite events.
