Abstract

The effect of 1 at.% N addition on the shape memory effect of Ti – Nb alloys was investigated. The shape memory effect and superelasticity were observed in Ti –(18–20) Nb –1.0 N and Ti –(21–25) Nb –1.0 N alloys, respectively. The Ti –23 Nb –1.0 N alloy exhibits the best superelastic properties with almost perfect recovery and small stress hysteresis among N added ternary alloys. The effect of cyclic deformation on the stability of superelasticity was investigated for the Ti –23 Nb –1.0 N alloy by loading and unloading cyclic tensile tests up to 500 cycles with a constant maximum applied strain of 2.5%. It was confirmed that the stability of superelasticity was improved by the addition of N due to the increase of the critical stress for slip.
