Abstract

This paper examines the effect of plastic deformation on the strength and transformation heat and temperatures of the superelastic Nitinol samples. Two types of compression tests and differential scanning calorimetry tests were conducted. The first type of compression test deformed the samples to final fracture, and the second type included two loading –unloading cycles with or without plastic deformation. The mechanically tested samples were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry.
