simplifications and improvements in operating efficiency of many mechanical components …

The present author has been studying shape memory alloys including Cu–Al–Ni, Ti–Ni-
based, and Ni-free Ti-based alloys since 1979. This paper reviews the present author's …

Ti-Ni shape memory alloys have been used in a variety of industries because of their unique
property of shape memory effect, which is an ability to remember their original shape and …

Abstract Ti-Nb based β-Ti alloys are a promising new class of superelastic, shape-memory,
and low-modulus materials for a wide range of applications. A critical phase in β-Ti alloys is …

High-temperature shape memory alloys are attractive for efficient solid state actuation. A key
criterion for shape memory alloys is the martensite start temperature. The current study …

The effect of ternary alloying elements (X= Ta, Fe, Zr, Mo, Sn and Si) on the microstructure,
the mechanical properties and the superelasticity of Ti–-22Nb–X alloys were investigated …

We have computed formation energies for all technologically relevant transition metal
solutes in the α, β, and ω phases of Ti, employing ab initio simulations. We analyze and …

The present work provides a brief overview on structural and functional fatigue in shape
memory alloys (SMAs). Both degenerative processes are of utmost technological importance …

The effects of Al content on martensitic transformation and shape memory effect of Ti–V–Al
alloys were investigated. The addition of Al suppressed the formation of ω phase and …

Thermomechanical treatments have been proved to be an efficient way to improve
superelastic properties of metastable β type titanium alloys through several studies. In this …
