Effects of Thermomechanical Treatment on Phase Transformation of the Ti50Ni49W1 Shape Memory Alloy
The Ti50Ni49W1 alloy has a B2 ↔ 19’ martensitic transformation but slightly lower shape recovery than the Ti50Ni50 alloy. The B19’ martensite structure in the Ti50Ni49W1 has the lattice parameters a = 0.301 nm; b = 0.423 nm; c = 0.472 nm; and β = 97.5 ...
