Deformation twin - Twin Variants

To identify the activated twin variant in deformation twinning, one must analyze the orientation matrices of both the matrix and the twin relative to the sample frame. In hexagonal close-packed (HCP) metals, such as those with {10-12} tensile twins, there are six possible twin variants. In body-centered cubic (BCC) metals, the {112}<111> twins exhibit twelve distinct variants. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the crystallographic relationships to determine which twin variant is activated during deformation. Accurate identification of twin variants is crucial for predicting material behavior under stress.

Given orientation matrices for matrix and twin w.r.t sample frame, how to identify the twin variant activated? For example,
in HCP metals {10-12} tensile twins have 6 variants. In BCC metals, {112}<111> twins have 12 variants.

Thanks!
 
I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
