In present work, transformation hysteresis and shape memory effect of an ultrafine-grained Ti₄₄Ni₄₇Nb₉ alloy processed by ECAP were studied. After deformation, the ECAPed sample showed a much wider transformation hysteresis than the initial sample due to the enlarged strength mismatch between matrix and β-Nb phase. The shape memory effect and its cycling stability of the ECAPed sample were obviously improved.
