Two-way shape memory effect of TiNi alloys induced by hydrogenation

Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | January 1, 2002| | Copyright

An investigation on the two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) induced by an electrochemical hydrogenation has been conducted on two TiNi shape memory alloys (SMAs) (Ti^sub 49.2^Ni^sub 50.8^ and Ti^sub 51^Ni^sub 48.9^ denoted as materials A and B, respectively). While a bending constraint has been applied during hydrogenation, the effects of current density, solution temperature, and charging period are studied. A two-way shape memory behavior was observed on the bent, hydrogenated specimens. The measured ratio of TWSME of specimen A is greater than that of specimen B. The variation of the TWSME ...
