Abstract
Amorphous thin films of Ti-48.2 at. pct Ni formed by sputtering were annealed at 773 K for 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 10 hours. It was found by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that the microstructure changes in the sequence of (1) Guinier-Preston (GP) zones for 5 minutes, (2) GP zones and Ti2Ni precipitates for 1 hour, and (3) Ti2Ni precipitates for 10 hours. A high-resolution electron microscope (HREM) revealed that Ti2Ni precipitates have partial coherency with the TiNi matrix.
