Abstract

It is reported for the first time that a g M y transformation can be induced in a g-stabilized zirconium alloy subjected to shock pressure. The y phase formed in the g matrix has been found to have a plate shape akin to martensitic plates. The lattice correspondence between the g and y structures has been found to be the same as that produced by thermal treatment. The formation of the plate-shaped y phase is explained in terms of a mechanism involving shear on <112> planes of the bcc lattice and the mechanical instability of the g phase.
