Abstract
The phase transformation, microstructural and mechanical properties of Ti-15V-2Al high temperature shape memory alloy produced with arc-melting method were investigated by DSC, XRD, SEM and high temperature micro-indenter system. The reverse martensitic transformation As starting and Af finishing temperatures of alloy were obtained to be 195 °C and 285 °C, respectively. In high temperature microindentation analysis, the alloy were subjected to indentation tests under 5000 mN load for three different temperatures (24 °C, 250 °C and 450 °C). The hardness and reduced elastic modulus values of the alloy at room temperature (24 °C ), that is, martensite structure, were found to be higher than the values at 450 °C, that is, austenite structure. The effect of temperature on superelasticity was examined and it was found that the superelasticity value of the alloy was higher at 450 °C compared to its value at 24 °C.
