Abstract
⺠Ni-free shape memory Ti-Nb and Ti-Nb-Zr alloys designed as biomedical materials. ⺠A simple thermo-mechanical treatment of flash annealing on as-cold-deformed specimens. ⺠Thermal-induced nanostructuration improves strength and superelasticity. ⺠Zr addition responds in better mechanical performances after the treatment. ⺠Perfect strain recovery of 3% is achieved in Ti-Nb-Zr alloy.
