Influence of the Nb Content on the Microstructure and Phase Transformation Properties of NiTiNb Shape Memory Alloys

NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs), as smart materials, are broadly used in medical implants and appliances despite the presence of toxic Ni. In this study, NiTiNb alloys were produced using the substitution of biocompatible Nb instead of Ni. The arc-melting method was utilized to make five SMA samples...
