Abstract
The mechanical property of a Ti
50Ni
25Cu
25 melt spun ribbon is studied. After annealed at 500
C for 15 minutes, the crystallized ribbon exhibits a transformation hysteresis of 8
C and a superelastic shape recovery of up to 10% strain. No flat stress-plateau is associated with this high superelasticity.
During cyclic deformation with strain increment, the shape recovery strain increases and the yield stress decreases, leading
to superelasticity with very low hysteresis.
