摘要

Reproducible irrational ORs and irrational interfaces in many systems have been explained with the Δg parallelism rules. Recent study of a Mg/Mg2Sn system has found that three irrational orientation relationships (ORs) between Mg2Sn (fcc, β) precipitates and Mg matrix (hcp, α), i.e., OR8a~c, exhibit discrete rotation angles between (01-1)β and (0001)α. The side facet of the precipitate corresponding to each of the ORs is normal to Δg (= g(02-2)β − g(0002)α) in an irrational orientation, but it cannot be explained with the Δg parallelism rules. In this work, an O-Terrace method is proposed. Any irrational interface must contain a ledge-terrace structure. An O-Terrace structure requires that the O-lattice elements coincide with each terrace of the irrational interface. The calculated results with the O-Terrace method applied to Mg/Mg2Sn system are fully consistent with the observation of the ORs and the orientations of the side facets for OR8a~c. This method is applicable to other precipitation systems for explaining or predicting the variation of irrational ORs and precipitate’s morphology.
