The results indicated that pre-strain increases the reverse martensitic transformation temperature (A ' (s)) and hysteresis (A(s) - M-s). The recovery strain and stress are higher if the specimens are pre-strained between M-s and A(s) temperature than outside this temperature range. There exists an optimal pre-strain value, about 10%, at which the specimen exhibits maximum recovery strain and stress.展开更多

The relation between transformation temperatures and critical stress of stress induced martensitic transformation is interpreted in terms of thermodynamic theory. It is shown that the decrease in transformation temperature in specimens of slow cooling rate or low temperature aging after solution heat treatment results from the changes of Ni/Ti ratio in the matrix. The increase of critical stress of stress induced martensitic transformation is a consequence of the decrease of transformation temperatures.展开更多
The radiation damage of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel and the Zr-Ti-Al alloy by 200 keV Xe＋ ions bombardment at the fluence ranging from 1×1014 to 8×1015 ions/cm2 has been investigated by conventional transmis...The radiation damage of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel and the Zr-Ti-Al alloy by 200 keV Xe＋ ions bombardment at the fluence ranging from 1×1014 to 8×1015 ions/cm2 has been investigated by conventional transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction line profile analysis （XRDLPA） and nanoindentation. XRDLPA shows that the order of magnitude of dislocation density in both materials remains almost unchanged up to the highest irradiation dose. Selected-area electron diffraction combined with bright and dark field image indicates that 1Cr18Ni9Ti is more easily damaged than the Zr-Ti-Al alloy. With increasing the ions fluence, the radiation damage became more severe in 1Cr18Ni9Ti, accompanied with phase transition and partial amorphization. The nano-hardness was found to increase rapidly with increasing ion fluence till the dose of 1×1015 ions/cm2, and then gradually saturate with dose. The enhancement of hardness in irradiated materials is due to irradiation-induced defects acting as barriers to dislocation motion.展开更多
