Description

Transformation behaviour, shape memory characteristics and superelasticity of Ti-(45 - x)Ni-5Cu-xV(at.%) (x= 0.5-2.0) alloys were investigated using different techniques. The B2-B19' transformation occurs when V content is less than 1.0 at.%, above which the B2-B19-B19' transformation occurs. The temperature gap between Ms' (the B2-B19 transformation start temperature) and Ms (the B19-B19' transformation start temperature) increased from 8 to 22 K with increasing V content from 1.0 to 2.0 at.%. V content dependence of Ms' (the B2-B19 transformation start temperature) was 20 K at.% -1. One-stage elongation occurred in Ti-44.5Ni-5.0Cu-0.5 V and Ti-44.0Ni-5.0Cu-1.0 V alloys, while two-stage elongation occurred in Ti-43.5Ni-5.0Cu-1.5 V and Ti-43.0Ni-5.0Cu-2.0 V alloys. Transformation hysteresis decreased from 16 to 12 K with increasing V content from 0.5 to 2.0%. The superelastic recovery ratio increased from 65.0 to 86.1% with increasing V content from 0.5 to 2.0%
