The effect of rare earth element Ce addition on the microstructure and martensitic transformation behavior of Ti51Ni49 shape memory alloy was investigated by scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the microstructure of TiNiCe ternary alloy consists of Ti2Ni phase, CeNi phase and the matrix. One-step martensitic transformation is observed in quenched TiNiCe ternary alloys, which is the same as that in quenched TiNi binary alloys. The martensitic transformation temperatures of Ti-rich TiNi alloy hardly increase with Ce addition.

The effect of rare earth element Nd addition on the microstructure and martensitic transformation behavior of Ni50Ti50−xNdx(x=0, 1, 3, 7, 20) shape memory alloy was investigated experimentally. The results showed that the microstructure of Ni-Ti-Nd ternary alloy consists of the NiNd phase and the NiTi matrix. One-step martensitic transformation was observed in all alloys. The martensitic transformation start temperatureMsincreased gradually with increasing Nd content for Ni-Ti-Nd alloys.

The aim of this paper is the investigation of electroplastic deformation (EPD) and subsequent annealing influence on martensitic transformation in the shape memory Ni50.7Ti49.3 alloy. Using differential scanning calorimetry method it was shown that EPD at the low strain stimulates structure relaxation and recovers martensitic transformation in cooling, which is usually suppressed by cold rolling.

A new Ti50Ni48.7Ta1.3 shape memory alloy was designed for medical application. In order to influence the martensitic transformation temperature the alloy was solution treated and additionally aged at 400oC for various time. Phase transformation was studied applying differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction techniques. The ageing causes that the martensitic transformation occurs in two steps: B2↔R↔B19’ during cooling and heating. During cooling the transformations: B2→R and R→B19’ are well separated whereas on heating they are overlapped. Also ageing causes a shift of temperatures of the martensitic transformation into the higher region. It is due to the precipitation process. Precipitates of the Ni4Ti3 phase were observed. Applied thermal treatment leads to shift of the transformation temperatures below temperature of a human body. This makes the Ti-Ni-Ta alloy attractive for application in medicine.

Microstructures and transformation behavior of TiNi shape memory alloy after high temperature ECAE process have been investigated. It is found that the initial coarse grains were refined after high temperature ECAE processes and short annealing at 750°C. Transformation temperatures of TiNi alloy sharply decreased after two ECAE processes, rose obviously when annealed at 750°C for 5min, and quickly rose back after annealing at 500°C for 2 hours. Reasons for phase transformation behavior changes have been discussed.

Porous Ti -50.5at.% Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) samples with a range of porosities were prepared by spacer sintering. The porous structure of the alloy was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase constituents of the porous TiNi alloy were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The shape memory behavior of the porous TiNi alloy was investigated using loading–unloading compression tests. Results indicate that the porous TiNi alloy exhibits superelasticity and the recoverable strain by the superelasticity decreases with the increase of porosity. After a prestrain of 7%, the superelastically recovered strains for the porous TiNi alloy samples with porosities of 46%, 59%, 69% and 77% are 2.0%, 1.8%, 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. The pores in the TiNi alloy samples cause stress/strain concentration, as well as crack initiation, which adversely affect the shape memory behavior of the porous TiNi alloy.

The shape memory alloy strips of Ti50Ni15Cu35 and Ti50Ni10Cu40 had been fabricated by arc melt overflow. Their microstructures and shape memory characteristics were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetries. The microstructure of as-cast strips exhibited columnar grains normal to the strip surface. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that one-step martensitic transformation of B2-B19 occurred in the alloy strips. According to the DSC analysis, it was known that the martensitic transformation temperature (Ms) of B2→B19 was 71.2°C in Ti50Ni15Cu35 and 64.5°C in Ti50Ni10Cu40 alloy strip, respectively. During thermal cyclic deformation with the applied stress of 60 MPa, transformation hysteresis and elongation associated with the B2-B19 transformation were observed to be 4.9°C and 1.4% in Ti50Ni15Cu35 alloy strip. However, Ti50Ni10Cu40 alloy strip was so brittle that its mechanical properties could not be measured.

This paper describes the sputter deposition and characterization of nickel titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy thin film onto the surface of an optical fiber Bragg sensor. The NiTi coating uniformity, crystallinity and transformation temperatures are measured using scanning electron microsocopy, x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry respectively. The strain in the optical fiber is measured using centroid calculation of wavelength shifts. Results show distinct and abrupt changes in the optical fiber signal with the four related transformation temperatures represented by the austenite-martensite forward and reverse phase transformations. These tests demonstrate a coupling present between optical energy and thermal energy, i.e. a modified multiferroic material.
