Abstract
The nucleation, growth, and overall transformation kinetics of grain boundary α allotriomorphs were measured in Ti-3.2 at. pct Co and Ti-6.6 at. pct Cr alloys with optical microscopy. Nucleation kinetics were interpreted with classical heterogeneous nucleation theory, using the pillbox model of the critical nucleus. Growth kinetics of allotriomorphs were significantly accelerated by the rejector plate mechanism, but much less so than allotriomorphs formed in fcc substitutional matrices at comparable homologous temperatures. Overall transformation kinetics were accounted for with a modified version of Cahn’s theory of grain boundary nucleated reactions.
