The Ti50Ni49W1 alloy has a B2 ↔ 19’ martensitic transformation but slightly lower shape recovery than the Ti50Ni50 alloy. The B19’ martensite structure in the Ti50Ni49W1 has the lattice parameters a = 0.301 nm; b = 0.423 nm; c = 0.472 nm; and β = 97.5°. The hardness increment and transformation temperature depression of Ti50Ni49W1 are greater than those of Ti50Ni50 under the same degree of cold rolling and the same number of thermal cycles; owing to the Ti50Ni49W1; with higher inherent hardness from solidification strengthening of W atoms. Both thermal cycling and cold rolling on Ti50Ni49W1 also promotes R-phase transformation. The effects of thermal cycling and cold rolling on the martensitic transformation temperature (Ms) of the Ti50Ni49W1 alloy follow a linear trend; and the Ms decreased with the hardness.
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.
