Ti alloy Reconstructed  grains  grains Retained  grains L. Germain, N. Gey, M. Humbert, Ultramicroscopy 107 (2007) 1129.

  6. The limits of the classical method Steel • Problems with steels because: • High symmetry of the daughter phase • High level of intragranular deformation • the probability that two randomly oriented grains are linked accidentally by an operator is not negligible! Reconst. 1° Reconst. 3°

  7. THEORY 1: Groupoids of orientational variants = Operators = Class of misorientation between variants = Double-Cosets Variants = Cosets V. Janovec, Czech. J. Phys B22 (1972) 974. U. Dahmen, Phase Transformations, Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology, 1987, pp.319-354. T. Hahn, V. Janovec, H. Klapper, Ferroelectrics 222 (1999) 11. C. Cayron, Acta Cryst. A 62 (2006) 21.

  8. About the number of variants Direct Transition: Inverse Transition : But: And: The number of variants is the number of cosets. It is given by the Lagrange formula: Ex: 8/2 = 4 Ex: 4x6 = 3x8

  9. About the number of operators Ex: 4 = 1+2+1 Avec 2 et 1 /2 Class equation Burnside formula The number of operators is the number of double-cosets.

  10. Groupoid of orientational variants Definition: X set of objects  Set of arrows (i, ik, ik)

  11. Groupoid composition table The operators can be expressed by set of variants / 1 Groupoid Composition Table

  12. Computer program: GenOVa 3D representation Pole figures Groupoid tables C.Cayron, J. Appl. Cryst. 40 (2007) 1179. Electron diffraction

  13. APPLICATION 1: Reconstruction of parent grains from EBSD data Idea : Use the groupoid composition table to check the coherency • Two Steps: • Nucleation with low tolerance angle (<5°) • Growth with high tolerance angle (8°-25°) C. Cayron, et al.Mater. Charact.57 (2006) 386.

  14. Computer program: ARPGE C. Cayron, J. Appl. Cryst. 40 (2007) 1183.

  16. Applications: Steels and Fe alloys Martensitic iron from meteorite (from Joe Michael, USA) Only one parent  grain  grain  grains reconstruction Calculated orientation of the  grain(ARPGE) Simulated  grain + 24 variants (GenOVa) The calculated orientation of the  grain is correct !

  20. Digression : Thermal cycling, entropy and time’s arrow We consider a phase transition material that follows a cycle of transitions Open systems, not isolated (Prigogine, Physics Today, 1972) Landau transitions: G = H N = G/ G N = G/ G=1 Time does not exist material = crystal = « death » (Fedorov) 1 Reconstructive transitions: Time is flowing The material self-organizes Stabilization after N cycles ?

  21. Grain Boundary Engineering and multiple twinning Nowadays, GBE in CFC materials = Increase the number of 3 (111) twin grain boundaries = Understand and Control the multiple twinning during recrystallization Copper thin film Lei Lu et al. Science 304 (2004) 422. 316 austenitic steel • but : • How recognize a 3n grain boundary? • How define unambiguously the Twin Related Domains (TRD)? Twin Related Domain (where are the frontiers?)

  22. THEORY 2: Fractal & String representations of multiple twinning 81d  string 1111 81+a  = string 1112 • Variants of 1st generation = coset of matrices, 3 operator = double-cosets, 3n operators = multiple double-cosets. • The global algebraic structure is a groupoid : • Object = variants, Arrows = misorientations between variants, Operators = types of arrows. • The equivalent paths that links the variants constitute the 3n operators • A string can be associated to any path (Reed’s idea). • A 3n operator an be encoded by a set of equivalent strings. • The encoding algebraic structure depends on the choice of representatives in the cosets: • Free group with 4 equivalent letters (Reed) or Semi group with 3+1 letters (Cayron) or… BW Reed et al. Acta Cryst A60 (2004) 263. C Cayron Acta Cryst A63 (2006) 11.

  23. Calculation and representation of the 3n operators Schematic representation of the operators = Cayley graph

  24. Composition of the3n operators

  25. APPLICATION 2: Reconstruction of the TRDs Copper thin film Daughter grains Twin Related Domains reconstruction Nb of grains / TRD LLC / TRD LLC = Longest Length of Chain

  26. Ammann-Beenker Tiling Space groupoids Polytypes: Quasicrystals : Digression 2: The link with tilings Cycle of transformations with special variant selection rules = tiling

  27. Conclusion & Perspectives /Theory • Geometric/algebraic theory to describe the variants • (Landau transition, reconstructive transitions, precipitates, twinning) • Variants = cosets • Operators = double-cosets • Importance of the normality of the intersection group • Cycles of phase transformation  unify many fundamental problems • Groupoids • Complexity • Tiling • Entropy, time’arrow • Fractals • Strings • Number theory. • A unique mathematical basis: non-commutative algebra! Alain Connes • Atomic spectroscopy • ij = Rc(1/i2 – 1/j2) • ij = i - j ik = jj+ jk (groupoid law)

  28. Conclusion & Perspectives /EBSD applications • Reconstruction of the parent grains based on groupoid • - Automatic (only 2 tolerance angles). • Treats any phase transition materials (cubic, hexagonal, …) • Adapted for highly deformed materials. • Gives statistics on the variants and operators (variant selection). • But (a) still slow (10-30 min per map) • (b) still in 2D (3D should not be a problem) • (c) does not yet treat the interface planes / operators. • Reconstruction of the 3ntwin related domains • Automatic (only 1 tolerance angle). • Gives new parameters such as nb of grains per TRD and LLC. • Can be an interesting statistical tool for GBE studies. Information: GenoVa and ARPGE are home-made programs (written in Python). Commercialization expected for end of 2009. Thanks: Drs. B. Artaud, PH Jouneau, JM Gentzbittel, L. Briottet, J. Michael, D.
