Abstract
In the present study, structural characterization of NiTi smart shape memory al-loys (SMAs), produced by an alternative powder metallurgy approach named mechanically ac-tivated reactive forging (MARFOS), was carried out by means of transmission electron micros-copy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was observed that MARFOS materials had a multiphase nanocrystalline structure. In addition, the transformation behaviour associated with the shape memory effect of the MARFOS aged mate-rials was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Multiple-step martensitic trans-formations could be observed in aged materials.
