NiTi alloys will amorphitize under electron irradiation. Amorphitization occurs quite readily for electrons with energies greater than 1 MeV. The mechanism for amorphitization is believed to be displacement damage. This paper reports the preferential amorphitization at deformation twin boundaries in NiTi alloys by electron irradiation.
