During interaction between a Mg 17 Al 12 precipitate and a migrating {1 0 1¯ 2} twin boundary, a deflection on the precipitate has been reported and interpreted as a result of twinning shear. However, in the experimental reports, important features of twin boundaries that deviate from classical twinning behavior have been neglected. To better understand how such deflection is produced, in this work we performed atomistic simulations on interaction between precipitates and a moving twin boundary. Detailed analyses of lattice transformation during twinning, the evolution of the precipitate-matrix interfacial structure and the evolution of displacement of selected atoms of the precipitate were conducted. The results show that although the magnitude of twinning shear equals zero, deflection can still occur when the twin boundary is passing the precipitate. Such deflection is inversed during interaction as a result of relaxation to the precipitate caused by basal-prismatic transformation which generates a tensile strain along the c-axis of the parent. When the precipitate is partially engulfed by the twin, the portion in the parent and the portion in the twin experience different strain state, giving rise to the deflection which has nothing to do with the theoretical twinning shear.
