A STUDY OF FINE PRECIPITATES IN ALLOYS BY POSITRON ANNIHILATION

Measurements were performed using the positron annihilation technique associated with physical metallurgical techniques for several engineering alloys containing fine precipitates. It is shown that positron annihilation is an effective method to detect fine precipitates, providing a sound basis for a further intense research of these.     

POSITRON STUDY OF DEFECTS IN TiNi ALLOYS

A number of TiNi samples with different compositions and states were measured by positron annihilation technique. And microdefects and the influence of them on shape memory effect were analyzed, giving some valuable information for the study of technological processes of preparing TiNi functional shape memory devices.
