A novel method for predicting variant selection during primary, secondary and tertiary twinning in titanium
Résumé
The present paper proposes a novel method based on Schmid's law by introducing a calculation of ``Normalized Schmid factor'' as an indispensable criterion for predicting twin variant selection in commercially pure titanium. Through comparing the calculation with experimental results, this novel method is proved to be a more effective criterion than Schmid's law and the accuracy is about 90% during primary, secondary and tertiary twinning variant selection.
