Abstract:Ti 50 Ni 50-x Cu x ( x=0, 5, 10, 15 at) fine fibers(diameter=q80 mm, length=20 cm~1 m) were successfully developed by the arc melted rapid solidification method. It has been very difficult to do the conventional melt work processing from the bulk material of this alloy to very fine fiber because of the brittleness of the especially in the range of Cu≧8 at. The fibers showed good shape memory effect. As Cu content increased, the temperature hysteresis(=Af Mf) of recovery strain temperature curves as well… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
