Improvement of the one-way and two-way shape memory effects in ti-ni shape memory alloys by thermomechanical treatments
Ti-Ni phase transformation behaviour is very sensitive to the thermal and mechanical history of the alloy. Thermomechanical cycling through the full transformation range may degrade the Ti-Ni functional properties (functional fatigue). These repeated transformation cycles cause changes in the SMA ph...
