(a) Resistivity measurements for the new alloy, Ti50.0Ni46.7Cu0.8Fe2.3Pd0.2 , compared with NiTi (inset) emphasize the very small hysteresis (0.84 K). (b) DSC curves for Ti50.0Ni46.7Cu0.8Fe2.3Pd0.2 , whose peak-to-peak ΔT is measured as 1.84 K, which is the lowest among related NiTi-based SMAs. Thermal cycles (60 heating and cooling cycles) also show very small shift (∼0.02 K in the inset), indicating excellent thermal fatigue resistance.
