Abstract
Methods of transmission and scanning electron microscopy and chemical microanalysis, electron diffraction, and X-ray diffraction were used to systematically study the structure and the chemical and phase composition of the Ni50Ti38Hf12 alloy synthesized by rapid quenching from the melt and subjected to various heat treatments. The critical temperatures of the devitrification of the initially amorphous rapidly quenched alloy and the B2 ↔ B19′ thermoelastic martensitic transformations have been determined. The lattice parameters of the B2 austenite and thermoelastic B19′ martensite have been measured. The main features of the formation of an ultrafine-grained structure in the alloy and the subsequent phase transformations (martensitic transformation and the decomposition with the formation of an intermetallic phase of the (Ti,Hf)2Ni type) have been studied depending on the regimes of heat treatment. Based on the results of measurements of mechanical properties upon tension (σM, σu, and δ) and the shape-memory effects (degree of shape recovery depending on the deformation by bending; and magnitude of the reversible strain εrev), regimes for obtaining high-strength and plastic states of the alloy with a shape-memory effect have been established.
