Abstract
The Ti44.5Ni44.5Nb9Co2 alloys with different cold rolling ratios were annealed at 650 °C to investigate the influence of cold rolling ratio on the microstructure and recovery properties. The change in cold rolling ratio remarkably affected the distribution of β-Nb phase and the density of dislocations and precipitates. The density of dislocations increased with the increase of cold rolling ratio, which facilitated preferential nucleation and growth of Ti2Co precipitates. Meanwhile, high density of dislocations and precipitates retarded the recovery and recrystallization process. Owing to the strengthening effect of dislocations and nanoscale precipitates, the 40% cold rolled Ti44.5Ni44.5Nb9Co2 alloy annealed at 650 °C after 16% pre-strain exhibited 25% enhancement in the total recovery strain and over 50% improvement for the recovery stress compared to the typical Ti-Ni-Nb alloys.
