This review summarizes the current knowledge on the α″ martensite transformation in metastable β Ti alloys under different stress state conditions gained using various in situ techniques that range from the meso- to the nanoscale. Compared to ex situ observations, in situ observation can be conducted on a single region while changing external stimuli, and are therefore capable of elucidating the interim microstructural evolution. The strengths and shortcomings of different techniques to give...

A versatile generic framework for parent grain reconstruction from fully or partially transformed child microstructures has been integrated into the open-source crystallographic toolbox MTEX. The framework extends traditional parent grain reconstruction, phase transformation and variant analysis to all parent-child crystal symmetry combinations. The inherent versatility of the universally applicable parent grain reconstruction methods and the ability to conduct in-depth variant analysis are show...
