简介:Inthiswork,transformationbehaviorsandmechanicalpropertiesofcold-rolledshapememoryalloyTi50Ni49Fe1bysevereplasticdeformation(SPD)wereintensivelyinvestigated.Thephasetransformationbehaviors,phaseanalysis,andmicrostructureswerecharacterizedbydifferentialscanningcalorimetry(DSC),X-raydiffraction(XRD),andtransmissionelectronmicroscopy(TEM),respectively.TensiletestingwasperformedtoanalyzetheeffectofSPDonthemechanicalpropertiesandshapememoryofTi50Ni49Fe1alloy.Whenthethicknessreductionisbeyond30%,themartensitictransformationissuppressed.Aftercold-rolling,thealloyismainlycomposedofB2parentphaseswithsomestress-inducedmartensiticB190phases,andhighdensityofdislocationsaregeneratedandthegrainsareobviouslyrefined.Theyieldstressrbsignificantlyraisesfrom618MPaof0%coldrollingto1,338MPaof50%SPD.Shape-memoryeffectincreasesfrom6.5%withoutcoldrollingto8.5%after30%SPD,ascribedtotheinduceddefectsincoldrolling.ThoseresultsindicatethatTi50Ni49Fe1alloyhasimprovedmechanicalpropertiesandpotentialcommercialapplicationsafterSPD.
