The shape memory behavior, texture and microstructure were studied for Ti-Ni ribbons fabricated by a melt-spinning method where the Ni contents were designed to be 49.0 at%, 50.0 at% and 51.0 at%. The texture of the parent B2 phase was determined by X-ray diffraction pole figures. A strong h100i fiber texture was found in both pole figures and orientation distribution functions (ODF). TEM observation revealed that all the ribbons are fully crystallized and that disk-type precipitates of about 10 nm in length locate on {100} of B2 phase uniformly. The thermal cyclic tests under various constant stresses showed shape recoverable strains exceeding 5% and critical stresses for plastic deformation being higher than 400 MPa for Ti-49.0 at%Ni and Ti-50.0 at%Ni as-spun ribbons. These excellent shape memory characteristics of the melt-spun ribbons are due to the formation of these disk-type precipitates. In addition, Ti2Ni precipitates of 25 nm in diameter appeared along grain boundaries of Ti-51.0 at%Ni as-spun ribbon. Since the Ni content of the matrix is condensed due to the formation of Ti2Ni precipitates, no shape memory effect was observed in Ti-51.0 at%Ni as-spun ribbon under the experimental conditions.
