Abstract
A transmission electron microscopy and in situ X-ray diffractometry study of Ti-50.61at.% Ni shape memory alloy was carried out with an objective to clarify the stress-induced transformation mechanism in nanostructured B2-austenite. Extremely small austenite structure elements (grains/subgrains), about 15nm in size, were obtained via a thermomechanical treatment comprising moderate cold rolling with a true strain of e=0.55, followed by post-deformation annealing at 300 and 350°C. It was unambiguously evidenced that the martensitic transformation preserves its “discrete” (discontinuous) nature even when the size of the parent structure elements (grains/subgrains) decreases down to a lower bound of the nanometer range.
