AbstractIn this study, effects of heat treatment on microstructure and structural properties of NiTi alloy were investigated. In this sence, the depence of shape memory behavior of NiTi alloy was examined by changes of heat treatment temperature and cooling conditions. Two group of specimens were used. One group was deformed by 50% and the other group was deformed 75%. Heat treatment temperatures were chosen 5000C and 600 0C. All specimens were cooled both in air and water to investigate the influence of cooling conditions. Microstructures were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Also DSC and XRD analysis were carried out for thermal and structural characterization.
