It is shown that upon loading, the composite experiences elastic elongation and slight plastic deformation of B19′,B2 and β-Nb phases, together with the forward stress-induced martensitic(SIM) transformation from B2 to B19′. Upon unloading, the deformation mechanisms of the composite mainly involve elastic recovery of B19′, B2 and β-Nb phases,compression deformation of β-Nb phase and incomplete B19′→B2 reverse SIM transformation. In the tensile loading-unloading procedure, besides the inherent elastic deformation and SIM transformation, the(001) compound twins in B19′ martensite can also be conducive to the elastic deformation occurring in B19′-phase of the composite.Therefore, this composite can exhibit a large recoverable strain after unloading owing to the elastic deformation, and the partially reversible and consecutive SIM transformation together with the(001) compound twins.展开更多

The experimental results indicated that the uniform distribution of Mo depresses the appearance of coarse 13-Nb particles at the grain boundaries and short stripped texture consisting of abundant fine disperse Nb-rich particles appears around the grain boundaries. The yield strength of the alloy was enhanced from 450 to 600 MPa due to the solution strengthening of Nb and Mo and the elongation reached 18% when the Mo content is 0.5 at.%. At the same time, the shape memory effect of the alloy also is improved significantly by the Mo addition. The maximum recoverable strain of the alloy with 0.5 at.% Mo is near 8% and has reached the high level of Ni-Ti binary alloys. This novel high- strength alloy is promising to be used for high pressure tube and the macro-scale coupling with higher-quality requirements.展开更多
