TL;DR: In this paper, metastable beta Ti-Nb-Zr(Ta) ingots were manufactured by vacuum arc melting, and the ingots thus obtained were divided into two batches: the first subjected to cold rolling (CR) from 30 to 85% of thickness reduction and subsequent annealing in the 450 to 900 ˚C temperature region, the second atomized to produce 100μm size powders.

TL;DR: In this article, the X-ray diffraction analysis showed that a gradual replacement of Nb content by its Ta equivalent decreases the impact of alloying elements on the β-phase stabilization phenomenon and suppresses the ω-phase formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray diffraction to study shape-memory alloys of composition Ti-(49.73 −51.05 at %) subjected to quenching and thermomechanical treatment (TMT) by the scheme “cold deformation (e = 0.3 −1.9) + postdeformation annealing (200 −500°C) to provide different defectness of the parent B2 austenite.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of aging treatment on the structure and mechanical behavior of biomedical shape memory alloys was studied by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, functional fatigue and thermomechanical testing techniques.

TL;DR: The NSS alloy obtained after cold-rolling with 0.3 true strain and post-deformation annealing at 600 °C showed the lowest Young's modulus and globally superior fatigue performance due to the involvement of reversible stress-induced martensitic transformation in the deformation process.
