    | Abstract Scope | The predominant role of heterogeneous deformation incipience and its transfer across grain/phase boundaries have been recognized in various macroscopic mechanical responses. Microstructural diversity in two-phase titanium alloys has triggered a profound platform in exploring this sort of micro-plasticity events. While numerous investigations have enriched the fundamentals of slip/twin transfer across grain boundaries, understanding of such responses at phase boundaries has not drawn abundant attention, particularly when α-mechanical twinning can be activated. By integrating in-situ EBSD/SEM testing, crystallographic calculations, and microstructure-based strain mapping approach, we aim to address the following three propositions: (1) could deformation transfer take place in the form between mechanical twinning in the α-phase and dislocation glide in the β-phase? (2) What parameters would be rational to quantify the propensity for the incipience of this event? (3) What micro-mechanical consequences are associated with the slip-twin transfer activity? Broader indications for mechanistically-guided microstructural design will also be discussed. |
