The experimental results show that three-stage phase transformation can be induced at a very low cooling rate such as cooling in furnace. The cooling rate also has a great influence on the phase transformation temperatures. Both martensitic start transformation temperature （Ms） and martensitic finish transformation temperature （Mf） decrease with the decrease of the cooling rate, and decreasing the cooling rate contributes to enhancing the M→A austenite transformation temperature. The phase transformation hysteresis （Af-Mf） increases with the decrease of the cooling rate. Heat treatment is unable to eliminate the textures formed in hot working of NiTi sample, but can weaken the intensity of them. The cooling rate has little influence on the grain size.展开更多
The effect of deformation via stress-induced martensitic transformation on the reverse transformation behavior of the (Ni47Ti44)100?xNbx (x=3, 9, 15, 20, 30, mole fraction, %) shape memory alloys was investigated in d...The effect of deformation via stress-induced martensitic transformation on the reverse transformation behavior of the (Ni47Ti44)100?xNbx (x=3, 9, 15, 20, 30, mole fraction, %) shape memory alloys was investigated in detail by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) after performing cryogenic tensile tests at a temperature of Ms+30 ℃. The results show that Nb-content has obvious effect on the process of stress-induced martensitic transformation. It is also observed that the stress-induced martensite is stabilized relative to the thermally-induced martensite (TIM) formed on cooling, and Nb-content in Ni-Ti-Nb alloy has great influence on the reverse transformation start temperature and transformation temperature hysteresis of stress-induced martensite(SIM). The mechanism of wide transformation temperature hysteresis was fully explained based on the microscopic structure and the distribution of the elastic strain energy of (Ni47Ti44)100?xNbx alloys.展开更多
