RATIONALEX1.1 This test method uses small, stress-free, annealedsamples to determine whether a sample of nickel-titanium alloycontaining nominally 54.5 to 56.5 % nickel by weight isaustenitic or martensitic at a particular temperature. Sincechemical

42、 analysis of these alloys does not have sufficientprecision to determine the transformation temperature bymeasuring the nickel to titanium ratio of the alloy, directmeasurement of the transformation temperature of an annealedsample of known thermal history is recommended.X1.2 It is well known that s

43、low cooling after annealing ofnickel-rich alloys allows precipitates of the Ni4Ti3type toform, thereby increasing the Ti content of the matrix and thetransformation temperatures. The practice is to avoid slowcooling preserve the “as annealed” transformation. It is pos-sible, however, to cool the sam

44、ples too quickly, raising thetransformation temperature, possibly due to stress effectswhich retain residual martensite. One method of achieving thedesired cooling rate is to heat treat the test specimens on a foiltray and then allow the samples and the foil tray to cooltogether, out of the furnace,

45、 in room temperature air.X1.3 Transformation temperatures derived from differentialscanning calorimetry (DSC) may not agree with those obtainedby other test methods due to the effects of strain and load on thetransformation.X1.4 Differences in sample preparation techniques betweenlaboratories influe
