Shape memory alloys' characteristics are different from ordinary materials because they can
memorize their pre-determined shape, thus they are excellent candidates for different …

In-situ deformation of Ni rich NiTi shape memory alloy is characterized using synchrotron
diffraction. The changes in the texture of austenite and martensite phases as a function of …

Nature materials, such as bones and nacre, achieve excellent balance of toughness and
strength via a hierarchical “brick-and-mortar” microstructure, which is an attractive model for …

Powder bed fusion-laser beam with metals (PBF-LB/M) can be used to manufacture intricate
NiTi components. However, the ductility of NiTi alloys fabricated by PBF-LB/M is generally∼ …

This two-part paper is the first published report on the long term, low temperature creep of
hot-extruded near-stoichiometric NiTi. Constant load tensile creep tests were conducted on …
