During martensitic transformations (MT), it is convenient to identify crystals specifying their morphological properties interrelated due to the action of a single control process. In the dynamic approach fully applicable to γ-α MT in iron alloys [1,2], it is most simple to describe them using habit planes (HP) without transition to finishing strains. One of the special features associated with description of morphology of BCC-HCP (α-ε) MT in titanium indicated, for example, in [3] is the presence of crystals of three groups. The first two groups with HP close to {334} α and {8 9 12} α are combined by the equality (or affinity) property of the smaller Miller indices as well as the orthogonality or approximate orthogonality of the plane {1 1 0} α , entering into the orientation relations (OR), to the habit plane. On the contrary, for the third group with HP close to {443} α , the equality (or affinity) of the largest Miller indices together with an acute angle between the plane {101} α , entering into the OR, and the habit plane takes place. Analogous HP are characteristic for lath and plate crystals (the letter can have internal twins).In theory [1,2], the fast (wave) growth was associated with the formation of an initial excited state (IES) in elastic fields of dislocation nucleation centers (DNC) in the vicinities of rectilinear dislocation loop segments. For example, segments with straight lines Λ║<110> α naturally arise during contact interaction of dislocations with sliding planes {110} α and {112} α . Calculations of an angular dependence of eigenvalues (for tension, ε 1 > 0, and for compression, ε 2 < 0) of the strain tensor ε for the IES and orientations of eigenvectors ξ 1,2 allow extreme regions to be detected where the interphase thresholds will be minimal and the IES will be most probable. The arising fluctuations engender wave beams with unit vectors n 1 = ξ 1 and n 2 = ξ 2 , and crystals with unit vectors N w perpendicular to HP are formed:In Eq. (1), ae is the ratio of the velocity moduli of quasi-longitudinal wave beams.
FORMATION OF THE DNCWe believe that formation of the DNC is accompanied by energy decrease (in accordance with the Frank criterion). Then the simplest variant of interaction of two dislocations with sliding planes (112) α and (11 2
