Ti–Ni-based alloys are quite attractive functional materials not only as practical shape
memory alloys with high strength and ductility but also as those exhibiting unique physical …

Recent macroscopic experimental and theoretical evidence on the stress-strain-temperature
behavior of NiTi beyond the strain recoverability limits (large strain, high stress, high …

In the present work we explain the concentration dependence of the martensite start
temperature (MS) in Ni–Ti-based shape memory alloys (SMAs). We briefly review the …

The present work studies the microstructure of a Ni-rich NiTi shape memory alloy and its
influence on the thermal characteristics of martensitic transformations. The solution …

For the first time, this work comprehensively studied the effectiveness of precipitation
hardening achieved by aging treatment in improving the tensile superelasticity of NiTi alloys …

Application spectrum of shape memory alloys (SMA) is expanding rapidly and
proportionately so is the engineering demand for superior materials. An essential …

The elastocaloric effect of the [0 0 1] P and [1 1 1] P orientated (subscript P represents the
parent phase) Ni 50 Fe 19 Ga 27 Co 4 (at.%) single crystals exhibiting first-order martensitic …

The analysis of nanocrystalline NiTi by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that
the martensitic transformation proceeds by the formation of atomic-scale twins. Grains of a …

The elastic constants that describe the fundamental elastic properties of NiTi martensites are
unknown today. We present results of ab initio calculations of the ground-state energies and …

The deformation mechanisms of the β-Ti alloy, Gum metal, were investigated with the aid of
in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …
