Among the different systems for high temperature shape memory alloys (SMA’s), equiatomic RuNb and RuTa alloys demonstrate both shape memory effect (SME) and MT temperatures above 800°C. Equiatomic compounds undergo two successive martensitic transformations, β (B2) → β’ (tetragonal) → β’’ (monoclinic), whereas out of stoechiometry alloys exhibit a single transition from cubic to tetragonal. In the case of two successive martensitic transformations, we expect to have a finer microstructure of the second martensite because it is supposed to develop inside the smallest twin elements of the former one. In equiatomic Ru-based alloys, if the first martensitic transformation is “normal”, the second one gives different unexpected microstructures with, for instance, twins with a thickness which is larger than the smallest spacing between twin variants of the first martensite. In fact, the reason for this unexpected hierarchy of the twins size is that the second martensitic transformation takes place in special conditions: geometrically, elastically and crystallographically constrained.

The present study is dedicated to the microstructure characterization of the as-cast high entropy intermetallics that undergo a martensitic transformation, which is associated with the shape memory effect. It is shown that the TiZrHfCoNiCu system exhibits strong dendritic liquation, which leads to the formation of martensite crystals inside the dendrites. In contrast, in the CoNiCuAlGaIn system the dendritic liquation allows the martensite crystals to form only in interdendritic regions. This phenomenon together with the peculiarities of chemical inhomogeneities formed upon crystallization of this novel multicomponent shape memory alloys systems will be analyzed and discussed.

The martensitic transformation behavior and shape memory effect (SME) have been investigated in a Ni-rich Ti29.6Ni50.4Hf20 high temperature shape memory alloy (SMA) in the present study. After aging, the transformation temperatures of Ti29.6Ni50.4Hf20 alloy increase obviously due to the precipitation of (Ti,Hf)3Ni4 particles. And the transformation sequence changes from one-step to two-step. When the experimental alloy is aged at different temperatures for 2h, the transformation temperatures increase rapidly with increasing the aging temperature and then change slightly with further increasing the aging temperature. Most of the martensite variants preferentially oriented in the aged Ti29.6Ni50.4Hf20 alloy. The aged Ti29.6Ni50.4Hf20 alloy shows the better thermal stability of transformation temperatures than the solution-treated one because the precipitates depress the introduction of defects during thermal cycling. In addition, the proper aged Ti29.6Ni50.4Hf20 alloy also shows the larger SME than the solution-treated one since the precipitates strengthen the matrix strongly.

Shape memory effect is a peculiar property exhibited by certain alloy systems, and shape memory alloys are recognized to be smart materials. These alloys have important ability to recover the original shape of material after deformation, and they are used as shape memory elements in devices due to this property. The shape memory effect is facilitated by a displacive transformation known as martensitic transformation. Shape memory effect refers to the shape recovery of materials resulting from martensite to austenite transformation when heated above reverse transformation temperature after deforming in the martensitic phase. These alloys also cycle between two certain shapes with changing temperature.Martensitic transformations occur with cooperative movement of atoms by means of lattice invariant shears on a {110} - type plane of austenite matrix which is basal plane of martensite.Copper based alloys exhibit this property in metastable β-phase field. High temperature β-phase bcc-structures martensiticaly undergo the non-conventional structures following two ordered reactions on cooling, and structural changes in nanoscale level govern this transition cooling. Atomic movements are also confined to interatomic lengths due to the diffusionless character of martensitic transformation.
