The initial coarse grains of Ti-50.9at%Ni were obviously refined after eight ECAE processes. Effects of pressing number on the transformation behavior have been investigated in detail. Comparing with the initial solution-treated Ti-50.9at%Ni, the R-phase transformation was stimulated and the martensitic temperature Ms decreased with ECAE processes at 773K. The shape memory properties of Ti-50.9at%Ni alloy before and after ECAE processes at 773K have been measured. Good one way shape memory and superelasticity were obtained for the submicron-grained Ti-50.9at%Ni alloy.
