Episode 78 of the Professor Alex Volinsky podcast. 40/60/90-micron NiTi wires show two-stage martensitic transformation and full recovery after 4-8% strain; thinner wires carry more oxide-altered surface, shifting the transformation. Based on the paper: Thickness Effects on the Martensite Transformations and Mechanical Properties of Nanocrystalline NiTi Wires; G.A. Baigonakova, E.S. Marchenko, M.A. Kovaleva, E.A. Chudinova, A.A. Volinsky, Y. Zhang; Nanomaterials, 2022, Vol. 12(42). Hosts Elena and Marcus. AI-generated voices.
