Abstract

Martensitic transformation and mechanical behavior was investigated on TiNi shape memory alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation by cold rolling. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the sample to be a mixture of nanocrystalline and amorphous material after 40% cold rolling. Diffrential scaning calorimetry measurements and X-ray diffractometry suggested that the martensitic transformation was suppressed when the thickness reduction was over 25%. The pseudoelastic stress–strain curves of nanocrystalline/amorphous TiNi are characterized by the absence of a stress-plateau and by small hysteresis.
