TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the interfaces formed between refined hexagonal close packed (hcp) α precipitates and the body centered cubic (bcc) β matrix in a solution-treated and quenched metastable β titanium alloy, Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr (wt%, Ti-5553), were investigated after heating to 600°C and subsequently aging for 0 and 30 minutes, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the alpha/beta interface in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo (Ti-6246) was investigated via center of symmetry analysis, both as-grown and after 10% cold work.
Abstract: The alpha/beta interface in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo (Ti-6246) is investigated via centre of symmetry analysis, both as-grown and after 10% cold work. Semi-coherent interface steps are observed at a spacing of 4.5 +/-1.13 atoms in the as-grown condition, in good agreement with theory prediction (4.37 atoms). Lattice accommodation is observed, with elongation along [-1 2 -1 0]alpha and contraction along [1 0 -1 0]alpha . Deformed alpha exhibited larger, less coherent steps with slip bands lying in {110}beta. This indicates dislocation pile-up at the grain boundary, a precursor to globularisation, offering insight into the effect of deformation processing on the interface, which is important for titanium alloy processing route design.
