An alternative way to orient the parent phase in the cubic/orthorhombic martensitic transformation of titanium shape memory alloys

چکیده
Titanium-based shape memory alloys undergo a cubic to orthorhombic martensitic transformation (β to α’’ martensite). A new easy way operating as a reconstruction of the parent microstructure is used from electron backscattered diffraction. It is shown that the electron backscattered patterns of the martensitic microstructure can be directly indexed as the parent phase in order to obtain the correct orientation of the high temperature microstructure. This method is however specific to the cubic/orthorhombic martensitic transformation in titanium shape memory alloys.

Complexion-mediated martensitic phase transformation in Titanium
The most efficient way to tune microstructures and mechanical properties of metallic alloys lies in designing and using athermal phase transformations. Examples are shape memory alloys and high strength steels, which together stand for 1,500 million tons annual production. In these materials, martensite formation and mechanical twinning are tuned via composition adjustment for realizing complex...

The electric resistance, sensitively dependent on the electronic structure and currently used to detect transformation temperatures in shape memory alloys, deserves attention also in the stress transformation domain. In fact, the electric resistance has already been investigated under increasing stress in the martensitic phase of several shape memory alloys: in this case a linear relationship i...

A phase-field model is developed to study the cubic to monoclinic martensitic phase transformation in nickel–titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys. Three-dimensional phase-field simulations show the nucleation and growth of monoclinic B190 multivariants that form a polytwinned martensitic microstructure. Parametric studies demonstrate that mechanical constraints and crystallographic orientation g...

We present a fast numerical method for the simulation of martensitic transformations in three-dimensional polycrystals. To produce the relevant overall elastic energy arising from given boundary conditions, this method proceeds by reducing the corresponding non-convex minimization problem to minimization of a certain quadratic form—over the set of arrays of transformation strains which are comp...
