Abstract
ABSTRACT The temperature dependence of the critical stress of R→B19’ transformation in NiTi shape memory alloys remains unclear due to the difficulties in precisely identifying the phase constitution and acquiring sole R phase. Here we investigate the thermally- and stress-induced martensitic transformation in a near-equiatomic nanocrystalline NiTi alloy. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction is used to identify the phase evolution such that the temperature window for sole R phase is firmly determined. We find that the temperature dependence of R→B19’ is negative (−0.2 MPa/K) in our alloy, in sharp contrast to 3–5 MPa/K reported. Possible reasons for the discrepancies are discussed. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT Negative temperature-dependence of stress-induced R→B19’ transformation was discovered for the first time in NiTi alloys, being in sharp contrast to previous reports. This calls for a revisit of such transformation.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Letters is a high impact, open access journal that focuses on the engineering and technology of materials, materials physics and chemistry, and novel and emergent materials. It supports the materials research community by publishing original and compelling research work. The journal provides fast communications on cutting-edge materials research findings, with a primary focus on advanced metallic materials and physical metallurgy. It also considers other materials such as intermetallics, ceramics, and nanocomposites. Materials Research Letters publishes papers with significant breakthroughs in materials science, including research on unprecedented mechanical and functional properties, mechanisms for processing and formation of novel microstructures (including nanostructures, heterostructures, and hierarchical structures), and the mechanisms, physics, and chemistry responsible for the observed mechanical and functional behaviors of advanced materials. The journal accepts original research articles, original letters, perspective pieces presenting provocative and visionary opinions and views, and brief overviews of critical issues.
