AbstractTi50-(Pd(x)-Ni(50-x)) alloys were prepared with Pd ranging from 18 at% to 22%. Both hot-rolled strips and melt-spun ribbons were fabricated. Heat treatments from 400°C to 1000éC were evaluated. It was found that the meltspun ribbons demonstrated much higher transformation temperatures than those of as-cast materials. However, the hot-rolled strips failed to display a shape memory effect, as well as those ribbons with 18 at.% and 20% Pd.

AbstractNon-toxic Ti-Nb-Mo scaffolds were fabricated by sintering rapidly solidified alloy fibers for biomedical applications. Microstructure and martensitic transformation behaviors of the porous scaffolds were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetric and X-ray diffraction. Theα″–βtransformation occurs in the as-solidified fiber and the sintered scaffolds. According to the compressive test of the sintered scaffolds with 75% porosity, they exhibit good superelasticity and strain recovery ascribed to the stress-induced martensitic transformation and the shape memory effect. Because of the high porosity of the scaffolds, an elastic modulus of 1.4 GPa, which matches well with that of cancellous bone, could be obtained. The austenite transformation finishing temperature of 77Ti-18Nb-5Mo alloy scaffolds is 5.1°C which is well below the human body temperature, and then all mechanical properties and shape memory effect of the porous 77Ti-18Nb-5Mo scaffolds are applicable for bon replacement implants.

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.
