Self-tension of martensite during constrained transformation

摘要

In a constrained martensitic transformation of shape memory alloys, a fraction of martensite is always retained in the materials. Experimental results showed that the remaining martensite could be plastically deformed by the generated recovery stresses. The self-tension process elevated the reverse transformation temperatures of the remaining martensite, and the external constraint conditions had no significant effect on the self-tension process of the remaining martensite.
