Influence of alloy chemistry on the transformation temperatures and local atomic structure of shape memory alloys : with a focus on NiTi-based intermetallics

The dependence of transformation temperatures of shape memory alloys on the number and concentration of valence electrons are studied. This dependence is further analyzed for NiTi-based alloys followed by an investigation of the effect of precipitation on the Ms temperature, and the influence of com...
