Abstract

An in-situ straining experiment was performed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) on the polycrystalline Ti49Ni51 alloy with full R-phase at room temperature. The reorientation of Rphase variants to a single, favorable one was observed under small stress at the beginning of straining, corresponding to the deformation mode of the first yielding stage. During further straining, the observation showed that the reoriented R-phase undergoes a stress-induced martensite transformation, and this dynamic process was considered to contribute to the second stage deformation in the R-phase stress-strain curve. The orientation relationship between the R-phase and stress-induced martensite has been determined and the internal (001)M twins were found in the stressinduced martensite plates.
