ASTM F2004-24 - Standard Test Method for Transformation Temperature of Nickel-Titanium Alloys by Thermal Analysis

1.1 This test method defines procedures for quantitatively determining the transformation temperatures and enthalpies of nickel-titanium shape memory alloys, produced in accordance with Specification F2063, by differential scanning calorimetry.

1.2 This test method may be used for heat-treated samples in the aged, annealed shape-set, or tempered condition. See Terminology F2005 for definitions of these heat treat conditions.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
