Abstract

The influences of different annealing temperatures and pre-strains on the coupling effect between TiNi matrix and the Nb nanowire were studied by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction in form of variation in lattice strain of the nanowire upon temperature changing for four groups of samples. For every annealing temperature, variation in Nb(110) lattice strains initially increasing with increasing pre-strain and then decreased after 12% pre-strain. A maximum variation in Nb(110) lattice strain was observed approaching 2.4% within the sample 450°C-20min annealed and 12% pre-strained. Such variations in lattice strain of the embedded nanowires upon temperature changing provided the composite great potentials as structural-functional integrated two-way actuators. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
