β¦ Synopsis
The effect of grain size on the martensitic transformation in Ni42Ti shape memory alloy has been studied. The kinetics of grain growth has been evaluated and the influence of different grain sizes on the transformation temperatures and the thermodynamic magnitudes has been reported. Image analysis and flow calorimetry techniques have been used. The study shows that grain boundaries favour the martensitic transformation and at the same time obstruct retransformation. Enthalpy and entropy variations are independent of grain size, but elastic energy decreases with the grain size.

AbstractΓThe thermomechanical behaviour of stress-induced martensitic transformation in an equiatomic NiTi alloy was investigated with respect to dierent deformation modes including uniaxial tension, compression and shear of plate specimens at dierent temperatures above the M s temperature. Results
Usually aged Ni-rich NiTi alloys undergo martensitic transformations on cooling from high temperatures in two steps: B2 to R and then R to B19Π (normal behaviour). But under certain ageing conditions, the transformation can also occur in three or more steps (unusual multiple step behaviour). In the
