Effect of Straining Conditions on Structural Characteristics of Pressed Shape Memory Alloy 45% Ti – 45% Ni – 10% Nb

The effect of the temperature-and-rate conditions of straining on the structural characteristics of pressed alloy 45% Ti – 45% Ni – 10% Nb is studied. The microstructure and the content of elements in the alloy are determined. The phases are analyzed using a MIRA//LMU scanning electron microscope. The data obtained are analyzed statistically with the help of the STADIA 7.0 software. Scanning electron microscopy is used to show that the content of elements in the alloy does not depend on the straining conditions, i.e., the temperature, the strain rate, and the strain. The results of the tests are processed statistically and used to develop technologies for the nuclear power industry.
