Abstract

The effect of aging treatments on the microstructure, martensite transformation temperature and shape memory effects (SME) of the Ni₄₆Ti₄₄Ta₁₀ alloy was carefully studied in this work. The result show that the microstructure of Ni₄₆Ti₄₄Ta₁₀ alloy contains an NiTi phase, a eutectic structure, which formed by NiTi, and (beta) -Ta phase, and some dispersed NiTa₂ compound. The aging treatment can produce Ti₁₁Ni₁₄ precipitates in the alloy. Meanwhile, precipitation hardening was noticed during the aging process. The phase transformation temperatures and hardness of the sample alloy vary with the changing of the composition and redistribution of each phase during the aging treatments. After the aging treatment, the samples demonstrated an enhanced shape memory effect compared with untreated samples. It is also evident that there is a strong correspondence between the enhanced shape memory effect and the increase of the hardness value.
