Deformation twinning has a significant impact on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical response in hexagonal close packed (hcp) metals. Understanding the physical mechanisms associated with twin nucleation and growth processes is important to enable the broad use of hcp metals. While both nucleation and growth are conditioned by the local stress state, few studies have quantified it in bulk deformed samples. In this study, we reveal the effects of local stresses on twin thickening using in-situ synchrotron experiments with differential aperture X-ray microscopy. High purity Ti is deformed under four-point bending to activate {1012} tensile twins. Further, 3D stress fields with a spatial resolution of 0.5μm are mapped in the vicinity of low and high macroscopic Schmid factor (MSF) twins growing inside a grain. Reconciling this experimental analysis with recent twin growth models reveals that the growth of low MSF twins is limited by the nucleation of twin growth defects in the high-purity Ti sample. While growth-inducing defect nucleation may occur in many places on the interface of the high resolved shear stress (RSS)/MSF twin, the nucleation rate of twinning disconnections for the low MSF twin is high only at the end of the twin near a stress concentration. Once nucleated, these defects easily propagate into lower RSS regions of the grain resulting in twin growth. This work highlights the importance of stress concentrations not only for twin (embryo) nucleation, but also to the growth process of twins, particularly in low MSF twins.
