Effects of Ni Content and Solution-Aging Treatment on Multi-Stage Transformations of TiNi Shape Memory Alloys

摘要:

Effects of Ni content and solution-aging treatment on transformation type and transformation temperature of Ti100-xNix (x=33.3-75) alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results show that one-stage transformation B2→B19′ of the solution-quenched Ti100-xNix alloys occurs. The martensitic transformation temperature TM is constant at x = 40-49, decreases sharply at x = 49-52, increases gradually at x = 52-56, and is constant again at x = 56-70. The alloys after aging at 773 K for 3.6 ks and 36 ks will have the occurrence of one-stage transformation B2→B19′ at x = 40-50.5, and the TM is constant first and then decreases suddenly with increasing of x; when x = 50.5-52, the alloys have the occurrence of two-stage transformation B2→R→B19′ and the TM decreases gradually with increasing of x; when x=53-70, the alloys have the occurrence of three-stage transformation and the TM1 and TM2 all increase first and then keep constant with increasing of x. All alloys after aging at 773 K for 360 ks have the occurrence of one-stage transformation B2→B19′ except for Ti49Ni51 and Ti47Ni53 alloy, which will have the occurrence of two-stage transformation B2→R→B19′ and three-stage transformation, respectively

Abstract:

Effects of Ni content and solution-aging treatment on transformation type and transformation temperature of Ti100-xNix (x=33.3-75) alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results show that one-stage transformation B2→B19′ of the solution-quenched Ti100-xNix alloys occurs. The martensitic transformation temperature TM is constant at x = 40-49, decreases sharply at x = 49-52, increases gradually at x = 52-56, and is constant again at x = 56-70. The alloys after aging at 773 K for 3.6 ks and 36 ks will have the occurrence of one-stage transformation B2→B19′ at x = 40-50.5, and the TM is constant first and then decreases suddenly with increasing of x; when x = 50.5-52, the alloys have the occurrence of two-stage transformation B2→R→B19′ and the TM decreases gradually with increasing of x; when x=53-70, the alloys have the occurrence of three-stage transformation and the TM1 and TM2 all increase first and then keep constant with increasing of x. All alloys after aging at 773 K for 360 ks have the occurrence of one-stage transformation B2→B19′ except for Ti49Ni51 and Ti47Ni53 alloy, which will have the occurrence of two-stage transformation B2→R→B19′ and three-stage transformation, respectively
