Abstract
The effect of specimen thickness on morphology and crystallography of α′(bct) martensite was studied in an Fe-Ni-Co-Ti shape memory alloy. The specimens with greater thickness than 0.5 mm form thin plate martensite which is characterized by a highly smooth and planar interface and has completely twinned internal structure. The martensite formed in thin foil (about 0.1 μM thick) has irregular interfaces and the internal structure is completely or partially twinned. The width of transformation twins in martensite formed in thin foil is smaller than that in bulk specimen. The martensite/austenite orientation relationship in the bulk specimen is close to the Nishiyama relationship. In contrast, the orientation relationship of thin foil martensite deviates by as much as 5° from the Nishiyama relationship.
