The effect of Nb content on the cold workability, microstructure and shape memory properties of Ti-Ni-Hf-Nb alloys is investigated. The addition of Nb to Ti-Ni-Hf improves the cold workability due to the formation of a soft Nb-rich phase. The Ti-Ni-Hf Nb alloys exhibit a high-temperature shape memory effect during heating and cooling cycles under various stress levels. As the Nb content increases, the shape memory properties of the Ti-Ni-Hf-Nb alloys become more stable although the shape recovery strain decreases. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc.
