Abstract:In this research work, the effect of Fe additions on the phase evolution, microstructure, chemical composition, transformation behaviour and properties of Ni (50−X) Ti 50 Fe X shape memory alloys has been investigated. The elemental Ti, Ni and Fe mixed powders are compacted at 600 MPa, followed by sintering at 1100°C for 4hr in an Ar atmosphere. Phase analysis and microstructural studies confirmed the presence of the NiTi phase besides other Ni-rich and Ti-rich phases. The 8at.-% Fe sample shows higher relativ… Show more
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.
