C. Jourdan et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THE MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF TITANIUM AND THE SHAPE-MEMORY ALLOY CUZNAL, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 26(4A), 1993, pp. 102-106
Titanium is a metal well known for its orientation memory effect but i
t does not possess shape memory. In this study, the martensitic transf
ormation of titanium has been studied in situ and in real time by sync
hrotron x-ray topography. The transformation has been compared to the
thermoelastic transformation of the shape memory alloy CuZnAl. The pse
udothermoelasticity of titanium has been displayed.
