Reply to comments on ‘Incomplete transformation induced multiple-step transformation in TiNi shape memory alloys’

The discussion is focused on clarifying whether there is temperature memory effect (TME) in the R-phase to parent phase transformation in TiNi shape memory alloys. The authors prove that the TME dose occurs. However, the TME in this transformation is much weaker than that in the martensite to parent transformation. In some cases, it needs many repetitions to observe TME in this transformation.
