description Twin–twin interactions are an important component of the microstructural evolution of hexagonal close-packed metals undergoing plasticity. These interactions are prevalent because of the predominance of twinning due to limited easy slip modes. Despite their importance, the complexities of the atomic-scale behavior of interacting twins has limited robust characterization. Using interfacial defect theory, we developed a three-dimensional model of twin–twin interactions, double twinning and other complex interfacial reactions that occur between twins acting on different interface planes. Using molecular dynamics, {11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>2} and {11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>1} twins in titanium were activated and produced facets, twin–twin interactions and double twins that we characterized with our model. The results showed excellent agreement between the molecular dynamics results and the model. Surprisingly, some highly ordered and mobile boundaries can be produced by these complex reactions, which could provide important insights for higher scale models of plasticity.
