This study investigated the effects of aging on the transformation behavior of $Ti-50.1at\%$ Ni alloy by means of differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that aging in the temperature range of $350^{\circ}C\~550^{\circ}C$ induced complex transformation behavior, involving the R-phase and multiple-stage martensitic transformation. Usually aged Ni-rich NiTi alloys undergo martensitic transformation on cooling from high temperatures in two step : B2 to R and then R to Bl9'(normal behavior). But under certain ageing conditions, the transformation can also occur in three or more step(unusual multiple step behavior). In the present study we use differential seaming calorimetry(DSC) for a systematic investigation of the evolution of transformation behavior with ageing temperature and time.

The effect of microstructure on mechanical behavior for Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. Two different kinds of specimens are prepared using heat treatments (rolled plate, $1050^{\circ}C)$ in order to Produce different microstructures. Various kinds of mechanical tests such as hardness, tensile, fatigue and fretting fatigue tests are performed for evaluation of mechanical properties with the changes of microstructures. Through these tests, the following conclusions are observed: 1) Microstructures are observed as equiaxed and $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructures respectively. 2) Impact absorbed energy is superior for the equiaxed microstructure, and the hardness and tensile strength are superior for the $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructure. 3) The fatigue endurance of $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstritcture shows higher value than that of the equiaxed microstructure. 4) The fatigue endurance in fretting condition was reduced about $50{\%}$ from that of the non-fretting condition.

The effects of Sr and (Ti-B) additives on the impact and fatigue properties of recycled (35% scrap content) AC4A aluminum alloy are investigated here. The acicular morphology of the eutectic Si phase of as-cast specimens was converted to the fibrous one with Sr additives. The grain size of the α-solid solution decreased by the addition of (Ti-B) additives. The crack initiation energy (E_i) of the impact absorption energy decreased due to the incorporation of an oxide film and inclusions depending on the scrap used. The modification of the eutectic Si morphology by Sr additives is considered as the main factor of the increase of the average impact absorption energy (E_t). The addition of (Ti-B) additives contributed to an increase in the occurrence of crack deflections due to the refining of α-Al grains, resulting in improved fatigue properties.

Ti-Ni-Cu alloys are very attractive shape memory alloys for applications as actuators because of a large transformation elongation and a small transformation hysteresis. Rapidly solidified Ti-Ni alloy ribbons have been known to have the shape memory effect and superelasticity superior to the alloy ingots fabricated by conventional casting. In this study, solidification structures and shape memory characteristics of $Ti-Ni_{30}-Cu_{20}$ alloy ribbons prepared by melt spinning were investigated by means of DSC and XRD. Operating parameters to fabricate the amorphous ribbons were the wheel velocity of 55 m/s and the melt spinning temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$. The crystallization temperature was measured to be $440^{\circ}C$. The crystallized ribbons exhibited very fine microstructure after annealing at $440^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and $460^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and was deformed up to about 6.8% and 6.23% in ductile manner, respectively. Stress-strain curve of the ribbon exhibited a flat stress-plateau at 64 MPa and this is associated with the stress-induced a B2-B19 martensitic transformation. During cycle deformation with the applied stress of 220 MPa, transformation hysteresis and elongation associated with the B2-B19 transformation were observed to be $4.3^{\circ}C$ and 3.6%.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sintering condition on the microstructure evolution and tensile properties of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy sample processed by metal injection molding (MIM) in terms of the sizes of the alpha morphology and pore found in the matrix. For this purpose, a series of MIM were conducted on this sample at various sintering temperatures ranging from 1173 to 1373 K for three hours followed by furnace cooling, observed by the scanning electron microscopy. The microstructures sintered in this study showed that, with increasing sintering temperature over beta transus temperature, the transformation of the equiaxed alpha into transformed beta was attained while the size of pores would tend to decrease. Thus, the strength remained unchanged significantly in the tension while ductility increased to some extent as sintering temperature increased. Such mechanical behavior would be explained in relation to the microstructure evolution of the Ti-6Al-4V sample via the MIM.

Transformation behavior of rapidly solidified Ti-47.3Ni (at%) alloy ribbons and thermal stability of the R phase in the ribbons were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Rapidly solidified Ti-47.3Ni alloy ribbons showed the two-stage B2-R-B19' martensitic transformation behavior. The B2-R transformation in the ribbons was observed even after annealing at 1,223 K, which was attributed to the fact that a specific orientation relationship between $Ti_2Ni$ and matrix in the ribbons is maintained after annealing at 1,223 K. The DSC peak temperature of the B2-R transformation ($T_R^*$) decreased with raising annealing temperature, which was attributed to the increased volume fraction of $Ti_2Ni$, thus causing an increased Ni content in the matrix.

The effect of the oxygen content and the annealing temperature on the tensile behavior of the Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-(0.1~0.5)O alloy was investigated. The tensile properties were dependent on the volume fraction of the microstructure constituents, i.e. the equixed ${\alpha}$, equixed ${\beta}$ and lamellar ${\alpha}$. The results showed that the O-partitioned equixed ${\alpha}$ had a much higher strength compared to the equixed ${\beta}$. The strength of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ increased with increasing the annealing temperature because the O content of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ increased. Ti-1.5Al-3Fe-0.25Si-0.3O alloy annealed to $900^{\circ}C$ where the volume fraction of lamellar ${\alpha}$ was the highest exhibited an excellent combination of the strength (1198.5 MPa) and ductility (27.5%). The effect of the lamellar ${\alpha}$ on the ductility was discussed.
