Description

Effect of Ti content on the formation of bct thin plate precipitate in sputter-deposited Ti-rich Ti-Ni thin films has been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy. This bct non-equilibrium precipitate having perfect coherency with the B2 matrix is a key factor to produce very good shape memory properties. The results indicate that the upper limit of Ti content to produce this precipitate is about 53 at. %. (orig.)
