Abstract
Recent development of Ti-Ta and Ti-Ta-Al high temperature shape memory alloys was reviewed. The effect of Ta content on shape memory behavior of Ti-Ta alloys was first described. Shape memory effect was confirmed in Ti-(30-40)Ta alloys. The Ms temperature decreased by 30K per 1at.% Ta. The amount of ω phase formed during aging decreased with increasing Ta so that stable high temperature shape memory effect was confirmed for Ti-32Ta (Ms=440K) during thermal cycling between 173K and 513K. Secondly, the effect of ternary alloying elements (X = V, Cr, Fe, Zr, Hf, Mo, Sn, Al) on the shape memory behavior of Ti-30Ta-X alloys was described. Among the alloying elements, Sn and Al were effective to suppress the effect of aging on the shape memory behavior, since they strongly suppress the formation of ω phase induced due to aging during thermal cycling. For this reason the Ti-30Ta-1Al and Ti-30Ta-1Sn alloys exhibited stable high temperature shape memory effect during thermal cycling. It is suggested that Ti-Ta based alloys are attractive candidates for the development of novel high temperature shape memory alloys.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
