Abstract

Real time, in situ, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and digital imaging correlation are applied to investigate the forward and reverse phase transformations in a cold-rolled shape memory alloy \(\mathrm{Ni_{50.6}Ti_{49.4}}\). Bulk stress−strain curve, strain fields and X-ray diffraction patterns are obtained simultaneously during a tension–unloading–compression loading cycle. Different from annealed (“dislocation-free”) NiTi alloys, the Lüders banding is impeded during forward and reverse phase transformations in the cold-rolled alloy, as a result of pre-existing dislocations during cold rolling, and give rise to smoothing in the stress−strain curve, strain fields, and diffraction pattern evolution.
