Titanium Alloys Microstructure and Properties

The incomplete transformations of TiNi shape memory alloys were investigated. The results show that the incomplete transformation upon heating can induce multiple-step transformations in a TiNi alloy with or without R-phase transformation, but the incomplete transformation upon cooling can induce multiple-step transformations in a TiNi alloy showing R-phase transformation.
