TLDR
In this paper, a detailed study of the mechanical properties of NiTi-based alloys is made, and a toughness minimum is observed in a certain temperature range and it is argued that this is a consequence of an interaction between deformation by stress-induced martensite and conventional plastic flow when these mechanisms operate simultaneously.

High elongation linear elastic guidewire

TL;DR: The Ni-Ti linear elastic alloy was used in the construction of the guidewire (10) as discussed by the authors, which exhibits a stress-strain curve with a linear stressstrain relationship and a yield point, and is deformable beyond the yield point to a desired set shape.

New modelling of the B2 phase and its associated martensitic transformation in the Ti-Ni system

TL;DR: In this paper, a symmetric two-sublattice model (Ni, Ti, Va)0.5 is applied to describe the intermediate B2 compound in order to cope with the order-disorder transition in the Ti-Ni system.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses of superelastic and nonsuperelastic nickel-titanium orthodontic wires

TL;DR: The DSC results indicate that the transformation processes are broadly similar in superelastic, body-temperature shape-memory, and nonsuperelastic NiTi wires.

Criterion for the action of applied stress in the martensitic transformation

TL;DR: In this article, the martensitic reaction is treated as a strain transformation with shear and dilatational displacements, respectively parallel and normal to the habit plane, and the resulting effect on the temperature is calculated from the mechanical work done on or by the transforming region as the resolved shear, and normal components of the applied stress are carried through the corresponding transformation strains.

A summary of recent research on the nitinol alloys and their potential application in ocean engineering

TL;DR: In other alloying variations some of the nickel is replaced with cobalt, in the formula TiNixCo1−x, is an effective substitution element for lowering the transition temperature as discussed by the authors.

On the thermodynamics of thermoelastic martensitic transformations

TL;DR: In this paper, both elastic strain energy due to the transformational shape change and frictional resistance opposing interfacial motion are shown to contribute significantly to the observed thermodynamic changes which accompany thermoelastic martensitic transformations in Cu-14 Al-2.5 Ni alloys.

Crystal Structure and a Unique ``Martensitic'' Transition of TiNi

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structure of TiNi has been determined in the temperature range −70° to 900°C through single-crystal x-ray diffraction methods, and it has been shown that the 9A superlattice undergoes a ''martensitic'' pseudo order-disorder transition which is not accompanied by a crystallographic transformation.
