We have studied deformation behavior of two kinds of iron-doped Ti-Ni shape memory alloys under tensile stress applied in the [111] direction. One is Ti-46Ni-4Fe (at%) alloy which transforms to the R-phase and the other is Ti-44Ni-6Fe (at%) alloy which transforms to the commensurate phase (C-phase) in the cooling process. The stress-strain curve measured in the R-phase region shows a residual strain due to rearrangement of variants while that measured in the C-phase shows a pseudoelastic behavior characteristic to stress-induced martensitic transformations. The strain-temperature curve measured under constant stress shows an obvious transformation strain associated with the transformation to the R-phase, while a bend point appears associated with the transformation to the C-phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
