A Critical Test of Two Theories of Non-I PS Geometric Surface Retief Effects Associated with Diffusionat Phase Transformations K. R. KINS~IANAND H, L AARONSON T h e r e a r e two basically different types of r e l i e f effect produced at an initially planar f r e e s u r f a c e by phase t r a n s f o r m a t i o n s . One is the noncrystatlographic rumpling of the s u r f a c e restflting principally f r o m the difference in atomic volume of the m a t r i x and p r e cipitate phases. ~ The other is composed p r e d o m i nantly of one or m o r e planar surfaces and has been t e r m e d genericaIIy " g e o m e t r i c s u r f a c e r e l i e f " (GSR).~ T h e s i m p l e s t and best understood variant of the GSR is the In:mri~mt plane strain (IPS) type~ formed by the undistorted rotation of the t r a n s f o r m e d a r e a of the planar surface about an axis lying within the surface, x'a A single plane thus c o m p r i s e s that portion of this type of C~R which lies within the plate-shaped p r e c i p i t a t e . The IPS relief effect is customarily associated with ma~tensite plates, but has also been found to a c c o m pany transforms*ions, even in substitutional alloys, in which all of the crystallographic r e q u i r e m e n t s of the phenomenologicai theory of m a r t e n s i t e a r e fulfilled but in which the composition of the precipitate differs f r o m that of the m a t r i x even during the e a r l y s t a g e s of growth.

The second type of GSR includes all relief morphologies composed of m o r e than one plane and produced by a single plate~ needle or lath. This f o r m of GSR is associated, to the b e s t of our knowledge, only with diffusional phase t r a n s f o r m a
