TiAI/Ti3AI colonies in an as-cast Ti-40 at.%AI alloy have been studied using HREM. Their microstructures consist mainly of alternating parallel lamellae of y (TiAI, L10) and α2 (Ti3AI, DO19) phases. The γ phase is often twinned with extended boundaries {111] parallel to the adjacent Ti3AI-TiAI interphase boundaries. The detailed atomic structures of the two possible (111)-γ σ3a and (111)γ σ3b twin boundaries have been observed as well as the facetted (0001)α2//(11)γ interphase boundaries. The facetted boundaries contain transformation dislocations whose elastic displacement fields conform well to the fields computed from the Somigliana dislocation model.
