Figure 3
Typical Kikuchi patterns for Plates A and B in the NM martensite cluster embedded in an austenite matrix under increasing axial load. (a) The initial stage [shown in Fig. 2(a)], (b) the intermediate stage [shown in Figs. 2(b) and 2(c)] and (c) the final stage [shown in Fig. 2(d)]. (d) The corresponding inverse pole figure along the Y0 axis (compression direction). (e) An illustration of the detwinning process for hierarchically structured non-modulated martensite variants with respect to inter-plate twinning boundaries (Inter-PTBs) and intra-plate twining boundaries (Intra-PTBs). |
