Ternary alloying elements added to a near-equiatomic Ti-Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) affect the transformation behavior (1) and the shape memory characteristics (2). Among the alloying elements, the influence of Cu is unique. Substituting Cu for Ni reduces the composition sensitivity of the M, temperature (3), the transformation hysteresis (4), the flow stress of martensite (3), the hysteresis of the pseudoelasticity (3, 5), and also prevents the precipitation of the Ti3Nid phase (3). Unfortunately, it was found that Cu addition exceeding 10 at.% embrittles the alloy and reduces seriously the formability. Improvement of the fabrication processes is thus needed in order to lead to new applications of the Ti-Ni-Cu SM4s with high (> 10 at.%) copper.Fabrication of Ti-Ni-Cu ribbon by a melt spinning technique was explored in the beginning of 1990’s (5, 6). It was found that the melt spun ribbons have several superior characteristics when compared with thme conventionally produced Ti-Ni-Cu wires, such as a large transformation strain and a higher thermal energy conversion capability, etc..(s). In the present research, the transformation behavior and microstructures of two melt spun TisoNi&uzs (at.%) ribbons with different widths are studied by using DSC and TEM.
