β¦ Synopsis
Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) investigations were carried out on NiTi shape memory alloys. The composition of lens-shaped precipitates is determined to be Ni 4 Ti 3 by model-based EELS quantification, and the Ni-depleted zone in the B2 matrix surrounding the Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates was quantified. The Young's modulus Y m of the B2 matrix with 51 at.% Ni and the Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates was evaluated to be about 124 and 175 GPa, respectively. The intensity of the Ni L 3 edge for the precipitate is slightly higher than that for the B2 phase.

## Abstract A series of experimental studies have been carried out on nearly equiβatomic NiTi shape memory alloy wires. The effects of fatigue cycles, displacement rates as well as testing temperatures on the superelastic capabilities have been studied. Under cycling loading, the threshold stresses
