Rapidly quenched TiNiCo alloys with shape-memory effect: I. Martensitic transformations and mechanical properties

For the first time, phase transformations and physicomechanical properties of the TiNiCo alloys of the quasibinary TiNi-TiCo section that exhibit shap e-memory effect were studied by X-ray diffraction and by measuring resistiv ity, magnetic susceptibility, and mechanical properties in a wide temperatu re range. The alloys were prepared by rapid quenching using the melt-spinni ng technique.
