Bulk in situ high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction is applied to follow continuously the evolution of the microstructure of the alloy during deformation and is complemented with metallographic analysis. Stress induced β → α″ transformation takes place together with grain rotation of β upon reaching the yield stress of the alloy at ε = 0.021. During further loading, formation of β sub-grain cells is activated at ε ≥ 0.03. The stress-induced martensite forms with a strong texture of {200} α″ planes perpendicular to the compression direction.
