摘要

The crystallography of phase transformation is an important issue for studying metallic alloys. Here, we demonstrate an abnormal orientation relation between face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phases due to the intersection of twoεhcp-martensite variants in a high manganese steel. The corresponding crystallographic characteristics, including invariant line, habit plane and atomic steps, have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy and the quasi-O-line model. In addition, the models of phase transformation about the intersection are proposed based on transmission mechanisms of dislocations. Our findings enrich the theories of phase transformation and implicate the possibility to fabricate stronger and tougher steel.
