5. Conclusions
- (1)
- The martensitic transformation in the cold-worked (strain of about 40%) Ni50.8Ti49.2 alloy is only partial and very diffuse. High amplitude-independent IF in the cold-worked state is due to grain boundaries and/or bulk dislocations, rather than to twin boundaries, as is the case for heat-treated states of the alloy.
- (2)
- Contamination of the Ni50.8Ti49.2 alloy by hydrogen strongly affects the IF and Young’s modulus of the martensitic phase.
- (3)
- Presence of hydrogen gives rise to a non-relaxation IF maximum, whose temperature and height depend strongly on the hydrogen content.
- (4)
- The observed non-relaxation IF maximum is formed due to a competition of two different temperature-dependent processes affecting the hydrogen concentration in the core regions of twin boundaries (after heat treatments) or grain boundaries/bulk dislocations (after cold-working).
- (5)
- Many of the low-temperature IF peaks (Tirbonod-Koshimizu peak, Pd, PTWM, P150K, P200K’, P50K, PH’), reported earlier for differently treated Ni-Ti-based alloys, have actually the same origin as the present maximum.
