Application spectrum of shape memory alloys (SMA) is expanding rapidly and
proportionately so is the engineering demand for superior materials. An essential …

Performance degradation in shape memory alloys (SMA) arises due to a gradual loss of
strain recoverability attributable to slip mediated plasticity. The slip-induced changes in …

Abstract Martensitic Ni 50 Ti 50 wires and sheets with different textures were tensile tested in
the temperature range between− 100° C and 60° C. The effect of texture and temperature on …

Abstract Ni 51.5 Fe 21.5 Ga 27.0 single crystals have been subjected to different heat
treatments resulting in a different degree of L2 1 ordering. Superelastic response has been …

It is shown that the broadenings of the forward and reverse martensitic transformations are
proportional to the second derivatives of the elastic energy by the transformed martensite …

The martensitic transformation characteristics and coherency of ordered γ′ precipitates are
investigated by electrical resistivity tests and HAADF-STEM observation in the aged …

The effect of the microstructure formed as a result of ageing in a Ti-50.7 at.% Ni alloy with
different B 2 austenite grain sizes on its functional properties under bending is studied. The …

An efficient and clean solid-state cooling technique based on elastocaloric effect (eCE) has
received great interests as a promising refrigeration technology for the last decade. The eCE …

FeNiCoAlTaB shape-memory alloys are desirable alternatives to other smart metallic
materials owing to their low base metal and processing costs. These alloys, however …

Six various training modes were used for a systematic study of the effect of the initial phase
state when training procedure on shape memory effect (SME) and two-way SME (TWSME) …
