AbstractBoth nanocrystalline and amorphous phases are observed from the near surface of nickel titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA) with the B2 austenite phase after surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). The microstructure and phase changes are systematically studied by cross-sectional and plane-view transmission electron microscopy. The strain induces grain refinement and it is accompanied by increased strain in the surface layer triggering the onset of highly dense dislocations and dislocation tangles (DTs), formation of the martensite plate via stress-induced martensite (SIM) transformation (B2 to B19′), and dislocation lines (DLs) as well as dense dislocation walls (DDWs) inside the martensite plate leading to the subdivision of the martensite plate. In addition, reverse martensite transformation (B19′ to B2) and amorphization take place concurrently in the surface region, and successive subdivision and amorphization finally result in the formation of well separated nanocrystalline and amorphous phases in the near surface. The average grain size of the nanocrystallites is about 20 nm. Owing to the almost complete reverse martensite transformation as well as thermal stability, the strain-induced nanocrystalline structure has the B2 austenite phase in the surface layer and no transformation occurs. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
