Local transformation strain measurements in precipitated NiTi single crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this work was to determine the effect of composition on the local transformation strain in NiTi single crystals. Using in situ digital image correlation to obtain full-field strain measurements, we revealed that increasing Ni concentration and precipitate volume fraction results in smaller local transformation strains. Comparison of the local strain measurements to theoretical calculations indicated that detwinning strains are limited in Ni-rich compositions. It was also found that the Ni-rich compositions displayed a more homogeneous transformation. 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Room temperature monotonic and cyclic stress–strain curves for single crystal and polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloys containing Ti3Ni4 precipitates are presented. The tensile and compressive single crystal results illustrate the importance of crystallographic texture, the unidirectional nature of the martensitic transformation, and martensite detwinning on tension-compression stress–strai...

The objective of this work was to study materials subjected to external loading where alternative deformation mechanisms are available to generate strains. In the case of shapememory and superelastic NiTi, these mechanisms are twinning and stress-induced phase transformation, respectively. Superelastic NiTi (51.0 at.% Ni) reinforced with 0, 10 and 20 vol.% TiC particles was fabricated by Hot Is...
