Abstract

Abstract Microstructural features and martensitic transformation behavior of Ti–Ni–Sn alloys were investigated by means of electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In a Ti–49.5Ni–0.5Sn alloy, Ti 2 Ni phase embedded in Ti–Ni matrix containing 0.7 at%Sn was observed. In a Ti–49.0Ni–1.0Sn alloy, Ti 2 Ni, unknown phase and Ti–Ni matrix containing 1.1 at%Sn were observed, while Ti 2 Ni and two different Ti–Ni matrices with 2.1 at%Sn and without Sn were observed in a Ti–50.0Ni–1.0Sn alloy. In a Ti–48.5Ni–1.5Sn alloy, Ti 2 Ni, Ti 3 Sn and Ti–Ni matrix containing Sn about 1.2 at% were observed. The B2–R–B19′ transformation occurred in Ti–49.5Ni–0.5Sn, Ti–49.0Ni–1.0Sn and Ti–48.5Ni–1.5Sn alloys, while the B2–B19′ transformation occurred in a Ti–50.0Ni–1.0Sn alloy. Substitution of Sn for Ni of an equiatomic TiNi alloy was effective to induce the R phase transformation.
