The present author has been studying shape memory alloys including Cu–Al–Ni, Ti–Ni-
based, and Ni-free Ti-based alloys since 1979. This paper reviews the present author's …

The use of biomaterials has become routine in dentistry, reconstructive surgery of the
locomotor system, treatment of congenital, traumatic and tumor situations, and knee or hip …

The strength of a commercial β‑titanium alloy was tuned by systematically controlling the
size-scale of α precipitation via two-step heat treatments. While the first step annealing at …

The deformation mechanisms of an α ″-martensitic Ti–8Mo alloy were investigated by ex-
situ electron microscopy tensile tests. Two deformation twins,{110}< 1 1¯ 0> α ″and {130}< …

Body-centred cubic (BCC) metals possess unstable intrinsic stacking fault and high
resistance for deformation twinning, which often induce complex twinning dynamics that …

In this paper, the effects of Nb addition (5–20 wt%) on the microstructure, mechanical
properties, corrosion behavior, and cytotoxicity of Ti-Nb alloys were investigated with the aim …

Ti-Ni shape memory alloys have been used in a variety of industries because of their unique
property of shape memory effect, which is an ability to remember their original shape and …

Deformation twinning of the Ti–25Ta–20Nb (mass%) shape memory alloy is characterized
using EBSD and TEM. The selfaccommodating α ″microstructure is shown to be first …

Diverse pathways of the deformation-induced transformations are investigated in the β-
metastable Ti–12Mo alloy displaying combined TWIP ({332}< 113> β twinning) and TRIP …

The ω phase transformation in numerous group IV transition metals plays a key role to
change the phase stability and modify mechanical properties, although its formation …
