Improvement of the one-way and two-way shape memory effects in ti-ni shape memory alloys by thermomechanical treatments 

Urbina Pons, Cristina (Date of defense: 2011-07-11)

Ti-Ni phase transformation behaviour is very sensitive to the thermal and mechanical history of the alloy. Thermomechanical cycling through the full transformation range may degrade the Ti-Ni functional properties (functional ...
