Creep behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys and the effect of pre-creep on the martensitic phase transformation

  • 1. Bochum Univ. (Germany). Inst. fuer Werkstoffe

Description

The paper reports creep data of a Ni-rich NiTi-alloy at stresses and temperatures in the range of 500 C and 150 MPa. The apparent activation energy for creep and the creep stress exponent were found to be 421 kJ/mole and 5. Tempering and pre-creep result in a 20 C increase of phase transformation temperatures (PTTs). The effect of an additional plastic deformation (as compared to a stress free aging treatment) is that PTT-peaks broaden and overlap on cooling and broaden on heating. This can only be rationalized on the basis of a difference in microstructures between the tempered and pre-crept materials. (orig.)
