The structure of the martensite (α″)/martensite (α″) and parent (β)/martensite (α″) interfaces in a series of binary Ti–Nb alloys with Nb content ranging from 20 to 24
at.% was investigated. Both the α″/α″ and β/α″ interfaces comprised a series of

h) superimposed along the terrace–step interface structure, have been identified. They were responsible for accommodating most of the transformation strain along the α″/α″ and β/α″ interfaces. Using the parameters
b
and
h, the prediction of the α″ habit plane based on the topological model agreed well with the prediction from the phenomenological theory as well with experimental observations. The α″ habit plane in Ti–20Nb alloy is close to
