Abstract
The influences of thermal cycling treatment in the temperature range of B2-B19 martensitic transformations (−150 to 150 °C) on the TiNi alloy structure and properties were studied. Different states named the initial coarse-grained (CG) state, the ultrafine-grained (UFG) state after ECAP (with a grain size of 200 nm), the state after ECAP and cold upsetting by 30% were considered. The results show that the microhardness and the strength increase in all the three states. According to the XRD analysis, a more significant increment in the dislocation density, resulting from thermal cycling, is observed in the UFG alloy than in the CG alloy.
