Abstract

The topological theory of interfacial defects and the associated flux analysis are reviewed. It is shown that the shears and diffusive fluxes associated with the motion of disconnections can be determined directly from their crystallographic characteristics, and that the effects of changes in chemical composition, interfacial misfit and ordering can be incorporated into the analysis. The special conditions are identified for which there is conservation of atomic sites during the motion of disconnections. It is shown that, under these circumstances, disconnection motion may result in mixed-mode displacive-diffusive transformations whereby diffusion is required for the transformation to proceed but the interfaces exhibit crystallographic characteristics which one would normally associate with a martensitic transformation. It is shown that the growth of γ lamellae in TiAl-based alloys is an example of such a mixed-mode transformation.
