Hello everyone,
I'm working with Ti-36Nb-2Ta-3Zr-0.3O (wt%) and have done an EBSD analysis to look for twinning. Beta titanium alloys are commonly twinned in two different systems, {112} and {332}. I'm trying to implement these twinning systems in OIM Analysis 7 to discover the twinning system of my alloy.
What I have tried so far:
I added a twin to an IPF map under "Properties -> Boundaries" and inserted the values for the direction of the twin under "Axis Definition". The subitems "plane normal" and "direction" are automatically set to the same values. I have entered the twin plane under "Twin plane (K1)" and "Twin plane deviation tolerance" is set to 1. After trying every angle (usually 50 to 60° in other papers) with a tolerance of 5, no twins were found for either twin system.
However, the appearance of the deformations clearly meets the criteria for a twin and is consistent with the literature.
Does anyone have any idea how to implement the twin systems in the OIM software? I think that's the mistake I'm making.
Thanks in advance!
