From deformation twinning to α'' martensitic transformation in deforming Ti–12Mo alloy with increasing grain size by Y. Wu, L.Y. Chen, Z. Liu, P. Chen, C.Y. Wang, B. Tang, H.C. Kou, J.S. Li

“…Detailed crystallographic analysis reveals that this transition is due to the variation in the formation sequence of α'' martensites in the transformation path. In addition, α'' martensites are evidenced to be a more effective factor inducing excellent strain hardening compared to deformation twins, which is attributed to their dense dispersion in β matrix, high volume fraction, diverse crystallographic variants, and shear modulus different from β phase. …”
