Christian, Phase transformations in metals and alloys an introduction, in Phase Transformations, Vol. 1, p. 1, Institute of Metallurgists, Type Military Civilian Effect of temperature Interface type Athermal Glissile (coherent or semicoherent) Thermally activated Non-glissile (coherent, semicoherent, incoherent, solid/liquid or solid/vapor) Composition of parent and product phases same same different Nature of diffusion processes No diffusioni Short-range diffusion (across interface) Long-range g diffusion (through lattice) Interface, diffusion, or mixed control? Interface control Interface control Mainly interface control Mainly diffusion control Mixed control Martensitic Deformation Twinning Massive Ordering Polymorphic Recrystallization ti Grain growth Condensation Evaporation Precipitation Dissolution Bainite Condensation Evaporation Precipitation Dissolution Solidification Melting Precipitation Dissolution Eutectoid Cellular precipit. 3
