Abstract

A TiNi shape memory alloy fiber reinforced Ni matrix composite was fabricated by an electroplating method using TiNi alloy as the cathode and Ni as the anode. The constrained martensitic transformation behaviors of the TiNi alloy were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the results showed that two endothermic peaks appear on the DSC heating curves and the reverse transformation temperature increase with the increase of prestrain level. Moreover, comparing to the free transformation, the temperature window of the constrained reverse transformation is widely expanded due to the influence of recovery stress.
