Abstract
The load-biased shape memory and superelastic responses of a Ni 45.3Ti39.7Hf10Pd5 polycrystalline alloy were investigated in compression. Transformation strain of up to 4.6% and work output of up to 29 J cm-3 were determined from load-biased thermal cycling experiments. The alloy showed good superelastic behavior at 90 oC with recoverable strain of over 4%. It was also determined that the Ni 45.3Ti39.7Hf10Pd5 alloy could develop two-way shape memory strain of 1.6% without an intense training process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the internal twins formed in the martensite variants were h011i type II twins.
