摘要
The effects of annealing on the phase transformation behavior and superelasticity of cold-rolled Ti50Ni48Fe2 shape memory alloy were extensively investigated. Curves of temperature dependence of electrical resistivity reveal that both the cold-rolled and annealed specimens exhibit a B2→R→B19’two-stage martensitic transformation upon cooling and a B19’→B2 one-stage transformation upon heating, although the austenitic transformation temperature decreases with the increase of the annealing temperature. Tensile stress–strain curves show the critical stress for stress-induced martensite（rSIM）of Ti50Ni48Fe2 alloys decreases with the increase of annealing temperature due to the decrement of dislocation density caused by the recrystallization. As a result, the rSIM decreases. Upon a cold-rolling and annealing at 623 K for30 min, the Ti50Ni48Fe2 alloy exhibits excellent superelasticity with the maximum recoverable strain of 5.8 % at a loading strain of 7 %. In such a case, a complete superelasticity of 5 % can be obtained in the Ti50Ni48Fe2 alloy after deformation increasing to 15 cycles.
