Nature of Phase Kinetics and Memory in Shape Memory Alloys
Nature of Phase Kinetics and Memory in Shape Memory Alloys
Shape Memory phenomenon in some intermetallics like NiTi is well known. However, during arbitrary thermomechanical loading, these materials exhibit several other interesting, yet less-understood phenomena. In this talk, Thermal Arrest Memory and associated effects during interrupted phase transformations in shape memory alloys are discussed and some fascinating underpinnings in the associated martensitic transformations are highlighted.
