Abstract

The microstructures, phase transformations and shape memory properties of Ti-30Zr-xNb (x = 5, 7, 9, 13 at.%) alloys were investigated. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy observations showed that the Ti-30Zr-5Nb, Ti-30Zr-7/9Nb and Ti-30Zr-13Nb alloys were composed of the hcp α′-martensite, orthorhombic α″-martensite and β phases, respectively. The results indicated the enhanced β-stabilizing effect of Nb in Ti-30Zr-xNb alloys than that in Ti-Nb alloys due to the high content of Zr. The differential scanning calorimetry test indicated that the Ti-30Zr-5Nb alloy displayed a reversible transformation with a high martensitic transformation start temperature of 776 K and a reverse martensitic transformation start temperature (A{sub s}) of 790 K. For the Ti-30Zr-7Nb and Ti-30Zr-9Nb alloys, the martensitic transformation temperatures decreased with the increasing Nb content. Moreover, an ω phase transformation occurred in the both alloys upon heating at a temperature lower than the corresponding A{sub s}, which is prompted by more addition of Nb. Although the critical stress in tension of the three martensitic alloys decreased with increasing Nb content, the Ti-30Zr-9Nb alloy showed a critical stress of as high as 300 MPa. Among all the alloys, the Ti-30Zr-9Nb alloy exhibited the maximum shape memory effect of 1.61%, due to themore »« less

Phase transformation and microstructure evolution of the deformed Ti-30Zr-5Nb shape memory alloy

Journal Article Qu, Wentao ; Sun, Xuguang ; Yuan, Bifei ; ... - Materials Characterization

The phase transformation and microstructures of the deformed Ti-30Zr-5Nb shape memory alloy were investigated. The X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the Ti-30Zr-5Nb alloy was composed of a single orthorhombic α″-martensite phase. The alloy exhibited one yielding behavior in the tensile test, with a critical stress of ~ 600 MPa and a tensile strain of approximately 15%. A shape memory recovery accompanied by a permanent strain was exhibited in the deformed alloys when heated at 873 K. The permanent strain increased with increasing pre-strain. The microstructure evolution of the deformed alloy was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The results showed thatmore »« less

In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction investigations of the physical mechanism of ultra-low strain hardening in Ti-30Zr-10Nb alloy

Journal Article Zhu, Z. W. ; Xiong, C. Y. ; Wang, J. ; ... - Acta Materialia

A warm-rolled, metastable beta-type Ti-30Zr-10Nb alloy exhibited a peculiar two-stage yielding behavior under uniaxial tensile loading, showing a first plastic stage with obvious strain hardening at 0.4%-10.4% strain and a second plastic stage with ultra-low strain hardening at 10.4%-23.5% strain. In situ high-energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) was used to reveal the stress-induced martensitic transformation scenarios and physical mechanism of the different strain hardening rates. It was found that the deformation-induced phase transformation dominated the onset of the first plastic stage corresponding to the selection of favorable martensitic variants, and their elastic interaction contributed to the obvious strain hardening.

In situ X-ray diffraction strain-controlled study of Ti–Nb–Zr and Ti–Nb–Ta shape memory alloys: crystal lattice and transformation features

Journal Article Dubinskiy, S. ; National University of Science and Technology “MISIS”, 4, Leninskiy prosp., Moscow 119049 ; Prokoshkin, S. ; ... - Materials Characterization

Phase and structure transformations in biomedical Ti–21.8Nb–6.0Zr (TNZ) and Ti–19.7Nb–5.8Ta (TNT) shape memory alloys (at.%) under and without load in the − 150 to 100 °S temperature range are studied in situ using an original tensile module for a low-temperature chamber of an X-ray diffractometer. Alpha″- and beta-phase lattice parameters, the crystallographic resource of recovery strain, phase and structure transformation sequences, and microstress appearance and disappearance are examined, compared and discussed. For both alloys, the crystallographic resource of recovery strain decreases with temperature increase to become 4.5% for TNZ and 2.5% for TNT alloy (at RT). Loading at low temperaturesmore »« less

In-situ investigation of stress-induced martensitic transformation in Ti–Nb binary alloys with low Young's modulus [In-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction investigation on stress-induced martensitic transformation in Ti-Nb binary alloys]

Journal Article Chang, L. L. ; Wang, Y. D. ; Ren, Y. - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Microstructure evolution, mechanical behaviors of cold rolled Ti-Nb alloys with different Nb contents subjected to different heat treatments were investigated. Here, optical microstructure and phase compositions of Ti-Nb alloys were characterized using optical microscopy and X-ray diffractometre, while mechanical behaviors of Ti-Nb alloys were examined by using tension tests. Stress-induced martensitic transformation in a Ti-30. at%Nb binary alloy was in-situ explored by synchrotron-based high-energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD). The results obtained suggested that mechanical behavior of Ti-Nb alloys, especially Young's modulus was directly dependent on chemical compositions and heat treatment process.

Influence of Sn on Martensitic Beta Ti Alloys

Journal Article Cai, Song ; Wang, L. ; Schaffer, J. E. ; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

The influence of Sn composition in Ti-17 at.% Nb alloys is studied by cyclic tension and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. It is essentially found that Sn stabilizes β-phase and effectively suppresses the formation of ω-phase. Along with β-phase stability, we detect lowering of the austenite and martensite transformation temperature by ~ 100 K/at.% and 88 K/at.%, respectively. Increasing Sn decreases the martensitic transformation strain in Ti-Nb alloys by ~ 1.4%/at.%, larger than that in Ti-Zr-Nb-Sn systems. The influence of Sn in martensitic Ti is anisotropic: causing larger reduction in lattice parameter b and higher decreases in elastic moduli of grainmore »« less
