Abstract

Based on the results of the experimental studies of the temperature dependence of the yield stress of single crystals of TiNi alloys and of the mechanism of the mechanical twinning of the B2 phase as a martensite-type local reversible phase transformation, the asymmetry of the mechanical behavior of these materials during tension and compression in the [001] direction has been investigated. It is shown that a specific feature of this mechanism is the fact that the critical mode of distortion which determines stresses during mechanical twinning is a homogeneous deformation of transformation of the Bain-deformation type. To analyze the asymmetry of these stresses during tension and compression, a concept of the factor of normal stresses reduced to the principal axes of the tensor of the homogeneous deformation of transformation is introduced. It is shown that this factor can be used for analyzing the asymmetry of the mechanical behavior of single crystals of TiNi alloys.
