A Computer Program to Transform Planar Indices
MIN CHUNG JON AND R. J. DE ANGELIS~ University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
In determining solutions to electron diffraction patterns containing two phases which are crystallographically related, it is extremely helpful to know the transformation relating the planar indices of the two phases. It is then possible to obtain solutions to complex diffraction patterns once the orientation of a single component of the material has been determined. Transformation matrices have been determined for a number of solid-state diffusionless and diffusion-controlled transformations. Silcock et al. reported part of the transformation matrix for the beta-to-omega transformation in titanium? Manual computations of index transforms employing these matrices is laborious and time-consuming, especially when there are multiple habit planes as is the case when the parent phase is cubic. The purpose of this note is to present a simple computer program which transforms planar indices; the beta-to-omega transformation in titanium is used as an example in this presentation because of the current interest in this transformation. ~'3 The program, which is written in BASIC language, performs four transformations on the parent indices. I f a larger or smaller number of transforms are desired, this can be accomplished with very minor program changes. BASIC has the advantages that it requires very little knowledge of computer programming, it has "built in" matrix operators, and it is a common teleprocessing language The program also provides the user with the flexibility to select the number of indices he wishes to transform. a Min Chung Jon and R. J. De Angelis are Graduate Assistant and Associate Professor, respectively, in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science University of Kentucky.

The complete list of indices to be transformed is placed in data statements starting at 370 using as many statements as required with numbers greater than 370. The output of the program as presented is given in Table I. Here the index to be transformed is on the left and the four possible resulting indices are on the right. The fourth hexagonal index (I : - - H - - K ) is not computed. Also, the value of
