Abstract

Ni4Ti3 precipitates with lenticular shape and rhombohedral atomic structure growing in the austenitic B2 matrix of binary Ni-rich Ni-Ti alloys upon proper annealing treatment have an important influence on the shape memory effect which originates from the martensitic transformation of B2 — B19’ [1]. Figure 1 shows a typical 2D distribution of such precipitates as obtained by TEM under conventional imaging conditions.
