Sequence of Phase Transformations and Microstructure of TI – NI Alloy Rich in Nickel with Shape Memory Effect After Heat Treatment

  • HEAT AND CHEMICAL HEAT TREATMENT
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Differential scanning calorimetry, light and electron microscopy are used to study phase transformations and structure of alloy Ti – 50.8 at.% Ni after annealing and ageing. It is shown that an increase in annealing and ageing temperatures changes the sequence of transformations and microstructure morphology.
