Abstrakt: • The formation mechanism of high symmetry three-fold twins in titanium was investigated with molecular dynamics simulation. • The interaction energies between α variants demonstrate the three-fold twins possess the lowest elastic interaction energy by phase field method. • The substitutional energies of Al atoms near the screw dislocation elucidate the intragranular nucleation of the α phase without the generation of grain boundary α phase. The formation mechanism of three-fold twins during β to α phase transformation in titanium was investigated. Such twins were found to form by three α variants with the { 10 1 ‾ 1 } α twin relationship. Three-fold twins have the lowest elastic interaction energy and are favored by the existence of screw dislocations. The present result reveals the stress and defect origins of three-fold twins and provides theoretical support for obtaining the microstructure containing intensive three-fold twins with high symmetry through stress-induced and dislocation-mediated α phase nucleation in titanium alloys.
