Transformation behaviors and shape memory characteristics of Ti-45Ni-5Cu alloy ribbons fabricated by melt spinning were investigated by means of optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetries(DSC), X-ray diffraction and thermal cycling tests under constant load. They depended largely on temperatures of liquid metal. The B2-B19-B19’ two-step transformation occurred in the ribbons fabricated with the liquid whose temperature was higher than 1723 K, while the B2-B19’ one-step transformation occurred in the ribbons with the liquid at 1673 K. The stabilization of the B19 martensite in Ti-45Ni-5Cu alloy ribbons was ascribed to the high density of dislocations which made strong resistance to large lattice deformation associated with a formation of the B19’ martensite.

An x-ray diffraction study of the reversible deformation inodes associated with the shape memory effect has been carried out on a series of uranium-niobium alloys near the monotectoid composition (6.2 wt. % Nb). Diffraction patterns were measured as a function of strain, in situ, while the specimens were under stress as part of an attempt to explain the “easy-flow”, low-strain plateau in the stress-strain curve. The alloys, consisting of highly twinned, metastable α” (monoclinic) and γ° (tetragonal) phases derived from the high-temperature BCC γ phase, produced broad, overlapping diffraction lines difficult to analyze by conventional techniques. One solution to this problem was to use a segmented step-scan technique so as to apportion the scan time to concentrate on the most difficult regions. This paper discusses data obtained from an α” alloy and a dual-phase α” + γ° alloy.

The effect of thermal cycling on the transformation behavior of a Ti–24Nb–1Mo alloy was investigated by means of electrical resistivity measurement, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile test and Vickers hardness tests. Electrical resistivity changes were not observed in all alloys. It indicates that thermally induced martensitic transformation does not take place in the alloys. After thermal cycling between 298 K and 77 K, clear X-ray diffraction peaks corresponding to ωath phase, which did not exist before thermal cycling, were observed. Volume fraction of ωath phase increased as increasing the number of thermal cycling. ωath phase formed during thermal cycling increased hardness of the alloy. Although thermally induced martensitic transformation did not occur in the alloys, superelastic deformation behavior was observed in the alloys. The superelastic recovery ratio decreased from 81% to 41% by increasing the number of thermal cycling, which came from the increase in the volume fraction of ωath phase.
