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.

Conclusions 1) Rapidly solidified Ti-36Ni-7Sn(at%) alloy ribbon was amorphous and activation energy for crystallization was determined to be 165.1 ± 9.0 kJ/mol 2) The ribbon was crystallized in the sequence of amorphous - Ti2Ni - B2- Ti3Sn 3) Rapid solidification of Ti-36Ni-7Sn alloy followed by crystallization induced nanostructured ribbon which consisted of the B2, Ti2Ni and Ti3Sn. 4) Ti2Ni(P) and Ti3Sn(S) had specific orientation relationships with the B2 phase(B), (011)B//(220)P, [01-1]B//[1-10]P and (110)B//(100)S, [001]B//[010]S, respectively. 5) The crystallized ribbon showed the B2-R-B19’ martensitic transformation behavior. 6) The temperature gap between TR*and MS*in the ribbon was larger than that of the ingot prepared by conventional casting.
