The main findings about the nucleation of $\alpha$ particles suggest that   formation of distributed $\alpha$ precipitates is assisted by $\omega$ particles but there are a two different explanation as to why this is the case. These speculated reasons are:  a. \begin{enumerate}  \item  $\alpha$ is formed by a displasive method. This method suggests that upon annealing of the alloy contain only athermal $\omega$ and beta, $\alpha$ plates begin forming at the core of $\omega$ precipitates and consequentially displace them b. \item  Diffusional manner, this suggests that due to rejection of alloying elements near $\omega$ precipitates present in titanium that are $\alpha$ stabiliser (i.e. Al) $\alpha$ particles form within close vicinity of the $\omega$ but not as the core. This phenomenon is used to explain the formation of $\alpha$ particle at $\omega$ /$\beta$ interface According to the study evidence of both methods is quite prominent and therefore suggests the formation of $\alpha$ is a mix mode diffusional displasive method. \end{enumerate}
