Effect of Al/Cr addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni-rich nitinol alloys by Yufei Wei, Shiyao Chen, Yancheng Jin, Mingzong Zhang, Qin Li, Yanbin Jiang, Lei Guan, Lijun Zhang

“…An averaging statistical strategy for multi-phase structure is introduced to establish their composition-structure-mechanical properties relations efficiently. For the Ni56Ti44–Ni56Ti22Al22 diffusion couples, adding less than 5.0 at% Al suppresses the decomposition of the main strengthening phase (Ni4Ti3) and thus increases the hardness of the alloy. …”
