“…With the increase of the Sn additions, the deformation mode of the alloy changes from twinning to a 00 transformation, and then to slip. The result is in good agreement with that reported in the previous work [Ishiyam et al, 1991;Ohyama and Nishimura, 1995;Hanada and Izumi, 1982], in which, it was found that (332) deformation twins and a 00 transformation are the dominant deformation modes in the alloys with the highly unstable b phases, while the slip is the dominant deformation mode in the alloys with the stable b phases.…”
