Abstract

Ti50-(Pd(x)-Ni(50-x)) alloys were prepared with Pd ranging from 18 at% to 22%. Both hot-rolled strips and melt-spun ribbons were fabricated. Heat treatments from 400°C to 1000éC were evaluated. It was found that the meltspun ribbons demonstrated much higher transformation temperatures than those of as-cast materials. However, the hot-rolled strips failed to display a shape memory effect, as well as those ribbons with 18 at.% and 20% Pd.
