Figure 2
(a) SEM secondary electron (SE) micrograph of Ti-5553 alloy after solution treatment (holding at 1173 K for 30 min and quenching in water), showing the single β phase having equiaxed grains. (b) Neutron diffraction pattern. (c) TEM bright-field micrograph showing the striated structure in β grains. (d) TEM bright-field micrograph showing the improved contrast of the striations across the extinction contour (the thick dark lines), where the deviation of the reflecting plane from the Bragg position, sg, is zero and the two-beam condition is approximately met. The reciprocal vector is indicated. (e) Magnified TEM bright-field micrograph of an area in (d), showing fine strips within the striations. |
