ABSTRACTYield stress and work hardening coefficient of B2-stabilized NiTi alloys are investigated using compression tests. Compositions of NiTi alloys are based on Ni-49moJ.%Ti, to which Cr, Co and Al are chosen as ternary elements which reduce martensitic transformation temperatures of the B2 phase. Mechanical tests are carried out in liquid nitrogen at 77K, air at room temperature (R.T.) and in an argon atmosphere between 473K and 873K. Only at 77K, some alloys show characteristic stress-strain curves which indicate stress induced martensitic transformation (SIMT), but the others do not. Work hardening coefficient is found to be between 2 and 1 lGPa in all the test temperature range. The values are extremely high compared with Young's modulus of B2 NiTi. Yield stress and work hardening coefficient increase with test temperature between R.T. and about 650K in most alloys. The anomalous temperature dependence of mechanical properties is not related to SIMT but to precipitation hardening and/or anomalous dislocation motion similar to B2-type CoTi. Solution hardening by adding ternary elements is evaluated to be small for Cr and Co additions, and large for Al addition, depending on difference in atomic size of the ternary element with respect to Ni or Ti.

This paper describes a novel technique for determining the constitutive equation of elastic–plastic materials by the indentation technique using plural indenters with different apex angles. Finite element method (FEM) analyses were carried out to evaluate the effects of yield stress, work hardening coefficient, work hardening exponent, and the apex angle of indenter on the load–depth curve obtained from the indentation test. As a result, the characterized curves describing the relationship among the yield stress, work hardening coefficient, and the work hardening exponent were established. Identification of the constants of a constitutive equation was made on the basis of the relationship between the characterized curves and the hardness given by the load–depth curve. This technique was validated through experiments on Inconel 600 and aluminum alloy. The determined constitutive equation was applied to the FEM analyses to simulate the deformation including necking behavior under uniaxial tension. The analytical results are in good agreement with experimental results.

AbstractThe yield stress τy at small strains (≈ 0.01%) is strain rate independent, and has the same anomalous temperature dependence as that of the 0.2% strain. τy is considered to be the stress at which Frank-Read sources operate in a virgin crystal. For successful operation, τy must exceed the stress τs at which screws propagate dynamically through the crystal, and the source dislocation must pass rapidly through the unstable Frank - Read configuration. This can be achieved by the bowing edge dislocation overcoming local obstacles before reaching that configuration. Loops elongated along the screw direction are expected to be formed in the microstrain region. Under certain conditions such loops are unstable on unloading, thereby generating long edge dislocations which can operate successfully as sources at low but not at high temperatures, explaining the reversibility phenomenon.
