本研究では、高Zr--Ti合金の変形温度を300Kから77Kに下げると回復ひずみが2.25%から5.5%に大幅に増加することを報告した。この合金の超弾性は77Kにおいて粒径に依存しないことがわかった。その結果、粗粒試料は77Kで超微粒試料とほぼ同じ超弾性を示すことがわかった。変形誘起マルテンサイト変態と転位すべりの相対的な容易さは77Kで大きく変化し、転位すべりは強く抑制され、超弾性に対する結晶粒の微細化の影響は影を潜めた。

A significant increase in the recovery strain of a high-Zr -Ti alloy from 2.25 % to 5.5 % when decreasing the deformation temperature from 300 K to 77 K is reported in this study. It is found that the super-elasticity of this alloy is independent of the -grain size at 77 K. The results reveal that a coarse-grained specimen exhibited approximately the same super-elasticity as its ultra-fine grain counterpart at 77 K. The relative easiness of deformation-induced martensitic transformation and dislocation slip was substantially changed at 77 K, with a strong suppression of dislocation slip, which overshadowed the effect of grain refinement on the super-elasticity.
