The interaction between the stress-induced martensitic transformation and resistivity behavior of superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) was studied. Strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue up to 6% was monitored by in situ electrical resistivity measurements. The experimental results show that a great motion of martensite fronts results in a significant accumulation of defects, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), before and after the tensile cycles. This gives rise to an overall increase of the resistivity values up to the maximum deformation. Therefore, the research suggests that shape memory alloy wire has great potential as a stress sensor inside bulk materials.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are one of the most hopeful smart materials, especially, Nickel–Titanium (NiTi or Nitinol). These alloys are great and desirable due to their excellent reliability and behavior among all the commercially available alloys. In addition, strain recovery, (Ni–Ti) is granulated for a wide variety of medical uses because of its favorite properties such as fatigue behavior, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. This paper explores the creation and the characterization of functionally graded (NiTi) materials. This work demonstrations the impact of Nickel contains changes on the characteristics of NiTi shape memory alloy, in order to obtain the suitable addition of Nickel contain, which gives the optimal balance between hardness, start and finish martensitic point, shape recovery and shape effect of alloys properties. These materials are prepared to obtain suddenly or gradually microstructure or composition differences inside the structure of one piece of material, the specimens made by powder metallurgy process and the influence of every layer of composite by; micro-hardness, transformation temperature DSC and shape effect. The hardness value and shape recovery decrease with increase nickel content. superior shape memory effect (SME) and shape recovery (SR) properties (i.e., 8.747, 10.270 for SMA-FGM1 SMA-FGM2 respectively, and SR is 1.735, 2.977 for SMA-FGM1 SMA-FGM2) respectively.
