Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to study the effect of annealing parameters on the recoverable strain of the beta III titanium alloy. A heavily cold worked material was annealed at temperatures from 315 to 1080 °C for different times. The super-elastic property of the annealed sample was studied by cyclic tensile load testing. Optimized super-elastic property was achieved after short time annealing at temperatures around 800 °C. Increasing annealing temperature and time reduced the super-elastic strain and recoverable strain. It is believed that the large recoverable strain after the low temperature short time annealing benefits from the retained deformation texture and residual internal strain. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
