Phase Transformations in the Intermetallic Compound TiNi.

Survey work has resolved certain reported anomalies in this system.
In particular, TiNi was found to undergo two displacive phase transformations
at temperatures near room temperature. Below 50°C the pseudo
body-centered cubic compound undergoes a gradual distortion in an unusual
second order phase transformation producing the "transition phase”, the
existence of which is terminated by a typical martensitic burst transform
nation at 20°C which produces the "martensitic phase”. The crystal
structures of the parent phase and transformation products, and the transformation
characteristics have been studied with X-ray and electron diffraction,
electron microscopy, electrical resistance and density measurements. / Thesis / Master of Science (MS)
