Abstract
In this study, the effect of Ta content on shape memory behavior of Ti–Ta alloys was investigated. The shape memory effect was confirmed in Ti–(30–40)Ta alloys. The martensitic transformation start temperature ( M s) decreased by 30 K per 1 at.% Ta. The amount of ω phase formed during aging decreased with increasing Ta. A stable high-temperature shape memory effect was confirmed for Ti–32Ta ( M s = 440 K) during thermal cycling between 173 and 513 K. On the other hand, the high-temperature shape memory effect of Ti–22Nb, which has a similar M s to Ti–32Ta, exhibited poor stability due to the large amount of ω phase formed during thermal cycling. It is suggested that Ti–Ta is an attractive candidate for the development of novel high-temperature shape memory alloys.
