Abstract
Designing a new alloy requires an understanding of how the components mix to generate distinct properties, and then applying that understanding to create new functionalities or drastically improve current ones. This study investigates the connection between the electron-to-atom ratio (e/a), bond order (Bo), and bond degeneracy (Md) and transformation-induced super elasticity in Ti alloys. A more complete picture of the relationship between the Magic Numbers and phase stability, elastic, and super-elastic behavior in Ti-alloys may be seen when all three are considered. Such a comprehension could significantly influence the development of Ti alloys with improved mechanical properties.

Designing a new alloy requires an understanding of how the components mix to generate distinct properties, and then applying that understanding to create new functionalities or drastically improve current ones. This study investigates the connection between the electron-to-atom ratio (e/a), bond order (Bo), and bond degeneracy (Md) and transformation-induced super elasticity in Ti alloys. A more complete picture of the relationship between the “Magic Numbers” and phase stability, elastic, and super-elastic behavior in Ti-alloys may be seen when all three are considered. Such a comprehension could significantly influence the development of Ti alloys with improved mechanical properties.
