Abstract
The two-way shape memory effect in a Ti-18.5Zr-10Nb-3.5Ta high-temperature shape memory alloy was investigated.X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the alloy is composed of orthorhombic α"-martensite.ω phase is not found in Ti-18.5Zr-10Nb-3.5Ta alloy due to the suppressing effect of Ta element.The α"-martensite laths are found in the transmission electron microscope observation;after the bending deformation,there appear a lot of dislocations.The alloy exhibits a shape memory strain of 3.8%and a high reverse martensite transformation start temperature of 464 K.The maximum two-way shape memory strain of 1.2%is obtained in the alloy with the pre-bending training strain of 10%.The mechanism can be ascribed to the effect of internal stress field caused by dislocations.
