Does the shape of the twin indicate whether it is mechanical/deformation or annealing twins?. I work on  FCC sheet metal SS 304 and Inconel 601. I deform by cold rolling as well as heat treat these samples. How to conclude based on the shape of the twins that it is annealing. My general understanding is that twins with parallel lines are annealing twins and lens shaped twins are deformation twins. But I am not sure about that.
