Improvement in the Mechanical Properties of High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy (Ti50Ni25Pd25) by Copper Addition by Saif ur Rehman, Mushtaq Khan, A. Nusair Khan, Syed Husain Imran Jaffery, Liaqat Ali, Aamir Mubashar

“…The increase in both stresses was attributed to the solid solution strengthening by substitution of Ni atoms with relatively greater atomic radius of copper (Cu) atoms. The overall results suggest that the addition of 5 at% Cu in place of Ni in Ti50Ni25Pd25 alloy is very beneficial to improving the mechanical and shape memory properties and increasing the transformation temperatures.…”
