| Abstract: | The effect of plastic deformation and external load on the characteristics of shape-memory effects is studied for alloys based
on titanium nickelide of nearly equiatomic composition. A nonmonotonic dependence of the characteristic temperatures of martensite
transformations on the strain degree of deformation is obtained. This phenomenon is explained in relation to the stages of
development of plastic deformation. Optimal loading and deformation conditions for obtaining maximum values of reversible
deformation are determined.
