PRECIPITATION, ORIENTATION AND COMPOSITION EFFECTS ON THE SHAPE MEMORY PROPERTIES OF HIGH STRENGTH NiTiHfPd ALLOYS

NiTiHf high temperature shape memory alloys are attractive due to their high operating temperatures (>100 oC) and acceptable transformation strain compared to NiTi. However, NiTiHf has limitations due to their lack of ductility and low strength, resulting in poor shape memory properties. In this...
