Description

Convergent-beam transmission electron diffraction was used to determine the crystallographic orientation of submicron-sized A15 structure V3Ga and Nb3Al precipitates formed by solid-state precipitation from supersaturated BCC solutions. In each case the crystallographic orientation relation was (to within an uncertainty of +- 50): [001]/sub A/15parallel[111]/sub B/CC; (100)/sub A/15parallel(110)/sub B/CC. This lattice correspondence is intuitively plausible, since it ensures that the closest packed planes and directions of the precipitate parallel to those of the matrix
