摘要

In the paper, electrometric measurement, X-ray diffraction analysis, and positron lifetime spectroscopy are carried out to study changes in the structural-phase state and lattice defects of the Ti49.3Ni50.7 alloy samples after quenching from 1073 K and subsequent annealing at 573, 673, and 773 K. After quenching, the Ti49.3Ni50.7 alloy samples are in the B2-phase state with a slightly increased concentration of vacancies in the nickel sublattice. Annealing at 573 K for 1 h causes a highly inhomogeneous structural-phase state in the samples: the concentration of vacancies in the nickel sublattice increases (probably due to the formation of Guinier–Preston zones), and the R phase and a small amount of the Ti3Ni4 phase appear. With an increase in the annealing temperature, the volume fraction of the R phase changes along a single-peaked curve, and that of the Ti3Ni4 phase monotonically grows to 4%. In all samples, the scalar dislocation density ρd approaches the lower detection limit of the used investigation methods (~ 1012‒1013 m−2). Based on the obtained results, it can be expected that high fatigue life and the most significant strengthening of the Ti49.3Ni50.7 (at%) alloy samples may be achieved in the annealing temperature range of 523–673 K, depending on the average size of grains–subgrains.
