The Influence of Thermal History on the Multistage Transformation of NiTi Shape-Memory Alloys

The multistage martensitic phase transformation of a polycrystalline NiTi shape-memory alloy (50.3 at. %Ni–49.7 at. % Ti) has been studied by means of calorimetric measurements. After a conventional thermal treatment followed by successive thermal cycles, the initial two-step forward transformation...
