Extended Data Fig. 1: Cyclic heat treatments to produce large single-crystal Ti–Al–Cr specimens for mechanical tests.
From: A lightweight shape-memory alloy with superior temperature-fluctuation resistance
a, The cyclic heat treatment process. b, A large single crystal obtained by the cyclic heat treatment. The inverse pole figure map, illustrating the crystal orientation in the nominal direction, was shown. c, The specimen dimension for tensile testing at various temperatures. d, The specimen dimension for in situ neutron diffraction measurements. e, The specimen dimension for compression tests.
