As a result of low-temperature aging at 573 K for 1.5 h of Ti–50.6 at% Ni [001]-oriented single crystals quenched from 1253 K, a high-strength state is obtained due to the precipitation of Ti_3Ni_4 nanoscale particles ( d < 10 nm). The aging leads to the development of the B 2– B 19' martensitic transformation through an intermediate R phase, a reduction in the B 19' martensite formation temperatures by 40–60 K, an increase in the strength properties of the B 2 phase from 730 to 2100 MPa, and an extension of the superelasticity interval Δ T _SE in compression from Δ T _SE = 60 to 170 K (compared to quenched crystals).
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.
