The strength of the ''all-round (two-way) shape memory effect'' and the work we can gain by using this effect were investigated. The alloy used was a Ti-51 (at%)Ni alloy. In order to align particles of Ti3Ni4 precipitate, plate-shaped specimens were aged at 773 K for 6 ks under several different tensile-stresses. Thermal cycling tests under several different tensile-stresses (sigma(Test)) were made on these aged specimens. Specimens aged under an appropriate tensile-stress shrink in association with the B2-->23R transformation and the total shrinkage decreases with increasing sigma(Test). Due to this shrinkage, the specimens do work on the outside: this work is the largest when sigma(Test) is between 50 and 100 MPa. The B2--B19' transformation start temperature of these specimens decreases as sigma(Test) increases. In association with the later R-->Br19' transformation, the aged specimens shrink when sigma(Test) is below 50 MPa, and elongate when it is above. Unrecoverable strain does not remain in the specimen as long as the B2R transformation is repeated, but it does when the B2RB19' transformations are repeated.
