Abstract
Although the Ti-Ni alloy is the most important material for applications, there has been no systematic work on its deformation behavior. In the present report, the effects of ageing, Ni-content and annealing right after cold work on the shape memory effect and on the pseudoelasticity are systematically investigated by tensile tests at various temperatures. Based on the obtained results the differences in deformation and transformation pseudoelasticity characteristics between Ti-Ni alloys and other β-phase alloys are discussed.
