Abstract
The present work studies the influence of different thermo mechanical treatments on phase transformation and creep of a Ti-50.7at%Ni shape memory alloy. Thermo-mechanically processed, solution annealed, tempered and pre-crept material states show different phase transformation behaviour. Precipitation of Ti3Ni4 particles can rationalize a 20°C increase in phase transition temperatures. Changes of dislocation density and subgrain size also have a systematic but small effect on the martensitic transformation. There is a strong influence of small preloads on the shape of individual creep curves in the early stages of creep which is associated with the precipitation of Ti3Ni4.
