TiNi shape memory alloy thin sheets were produced from titanium and nickel metal sheets by a new processing consisting of repetitive roll-bonding and diffusional heat treatment. TiNi sheets after heat treatment at a relatively low temperature for a long time exhibited fairly isotropic and high shape-recoverable strain, because a near {111} B2-phase texture such as {223}<110> and {332}<113> was developed through reactive diffusion during heat treatment. In the early stage of reactive diffusion, intermetallic layers of Ti2Ni, TiNi and Ni3Ti were formed at once at the Ti/Ni interfaces of the roll-bonded laminate and then growth of a TiNi phase took place with the progress of interdiffusion. Texture of the final TiNi thin sheets, therefore, is derived from that of TiNi layers generated at the Ti/Ni interfaces, which is considered to have inherited rolling textures of Ni and Ti layers in the Ti/Ni laminate prior to reactive diffusion under orientation relationships on close-packed plane and direction between parent and product phases.

The paper presents comparison of microstructure and fracture surface morphology of the CuAlNi shape memory alloy (SMA) after different heat treatment procedures. The investigation was performed on samples in as-cast state and heat treated states (solution annealing at temperatures of 850 °C / 60’ / H2O and 920 °C / 60’ / H2O along with tempering at two different temperature 150 °C / 60’ / H2O and 300 °C / 60’ / H2O). The microstructure of the samples was examined by optical (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with device for EDS analysis. The obtained fracture surfaces were examined by SEM. Optical and scanning electron microscopy showed martensitic microstructure in all investigated samples. However, the fractographic analysis of samples after tensile testing reveals significant changes in fracture mechanism. In both solution annealed states the results shows transgranular type of fracture, but after tempering at two different temperatures the difference is obvious. After tempering at 150 °C, along with transgranular type of fracture appear some areas with intergranular type of fracture. After tempering at 300 °C, fracture surface reveals completely intergranular type of fracture.
