The transformation behavior of near equiatomic NiTi alloys were precisely measured by a fourprobe potentiometric method in order to investigate the effects of the repetition of the transformation with thermal cycling. Complete and incomplete thermal cycles induce an anomalous increase in electrical resistivity which is attributed to formation of the Rphase. The incomplete thermal cycle is effective in the formation of the Rphase in comparison with the complete thermal cycle. The behavior of the transformation to the Rphase with thermal cycles depends on the composition and it is more difficult to induce and stabilize the Rphase by thermal cycling in NiTi with higher Ms. The characteristics on the effects of the thermal cycles are the shift of the Ms to the lowtemperature side and the stabilization of the Rphase, which are taken to be attributable to the accumulation of transformationinduced defects. The precise measurement of the electrical resistivity proved helpful in order to detect the trace of the R phase and characterize the effects of the thermal cycles.
