In situ XRD study of the transformation charcaterisitics of severely plastic deformed NiTi SMA

F. M. Braz Fernandes, A. Pereira, K. K. Mahesh, R. J. Cordeiro Silva, FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS E TECNOLOGIA / UNL, CAPARICA, Portugal; C. Gurau, "Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, Galati, Romania

Severe plastic deformation by High Pressure Torsion (HPT) of NiTi alloys (Ni-rich and Ti-rich) has been performed. The samples have been studied by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) in order to get information about (i) the transformation characterisitics and (ii) the structural evolution during annealing.
