Crystallization Behavior and Microstructure of Ti-Ni-Sn Alloys

This study investigates the crystallization behavior and microstructure of Ti-Ni-Sn alloys prepared by conventional casting. The rapid solidification process separates the B2-R and R-B19' martensitic transformations, and the addition of Sn enhances the formation of Ti3Sn phase. Results show that the size and amount of Ti3Sn particles increase with higher annealing temperature.
