Self-accommodation in Ti–Nb shape memory alloys

“…Similarly, matrix (2) suggests that the formation of a triangular plates group by the combination of 1(+), 3(+) showing that the V-shaped morphology is formed by two a 00 variants, identified as 4(+) and 6(À). A small triangular morphology comprising the a 00 variants 1(À), 3(À) and 5(À) is seen in between the two a 00 variants.…”

“…The shape memory effect and superelasticity in these alloys are attributed to the thermoelastic martensitic transformation and reverse martensitic transformation between the parent (b, body-centered cubic (bcc)) and martensite (a 00 , orthorhombic) phases [2]. For shape memory alloys, it is generally acknowledged that their shape memory property is greatly influenced by the microstructure of the martensite.…”

“…Recently, Ti-Nb-based shape memory alloys that may be suitable candidates for biomedical applications have received wide interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The shape memory effect and superelasticity in these alloys are attributed to the thermoelastic martensitic transformation and reverse martensitic transformation between the parent (b, body-centered cubic (bcc)) and martensite (a 00 , orthorhombic) phases [2].…”
