Abstract
This paper gives details about the B19-rhombohedral martensitic transformations in TiNi44.5Cu5.5 Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) aged at 150°C. The martensitic phase transformation sequences observed in this present study by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) as follows: As-solutionized and aged for 4 hrs samples exhibits B19↔B2; Aged for 24 h, 48h and 72 h sample exhibits B19↔B19’↔B2 and prolonged aged sample for 96 hrs exhibits B19’↔B2 transformations. The strong diffraction peak can be identified as the (020)B19 in TiNiCu aged at 150°C for 24 hrs. It is clear from X-ray diffraction phase analysis formation of equilibrium Ni3Ti (S.G. P63/mmc (194), Hexagonal crystal structure) precipitates reaches maximum counts with (020) plane in aged for 48 h sample as compared to the aged for 24 h sample. The high DSC values (J/g) of the exothermic peak was recorded in aged for 48 hrs samples was concluded formations of the B19’ martensites.

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.
