Abstract
In TiNi alloy systems, there are three transformation paths. Fe added alloy, TiNi(Fe), transforms into the R phase whose crystal
structure is similar to AuCd
phase. Cu added alloy, TiNi(Cu), transforms into the orthorhombic phase which is called B19. They transform into monoclinic
martensite called BI9' when temperature is further lowered. Without third element addition, quenched Ti
50Ni
50 transforms into Bl9' direct. The crystal structure of the monoclinic phase can be described with a combination of alternative
[ 01
] movements on the (011) plane and [
00] movements on the (0
l) plane. Phonon behavior in martensite materials is attractive for the transformation mechanism. Alternative motion of [
01
] on (011) in TiNi corresponds to [110]TA
2 phonon softening at the Brillouin zone boundary. Phonon dispersion behavior of [110] TA
2 in equi-atomic Ti
50Ni
50 was measured and softening around q ~ 1/3 is reported rather than at the zone boundary.
