Ni-free Ti-based Shape Memory Alloys reviews the fundamental issues of biomedical beta-type Ti base shape memory and superelastic alloys, including martensitic transformation, shape memory and superelastic properties, alloy development, thermomechanical treatment and microstructure control, and biocompatibility. Some unique properties, such as large nonlinear elastic behavior and low Young's modulus, observed in metastable Ti alloys are discussed on the basis of phase stability. As it is expected that superelastic Ti alloys will further expand the applications of shape memory alloys within the biomedical field, this book provides a comprehensive review of these new findings in Ti-base shape memory and superelastic alloys.

Prof. Hee Young Kim received his Ph. D. in Materials Science and
Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
(KAIST) in 1998. From 1999 to 2001 he was a research associate in
the Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University. In 2001,he
became an assistant professor at Tohoku University. During
1999-2001, he worked on the high temperature deformation behavior
of intermetallic compounds. He joined the Institute of Materials
Science at University of Tsukuba in 2002 as an assistant professor,
and was promoted to associate professor in 2007 and professor in
2014. Since joining the University of Tsukuba, he has expanded his
research program into functional metallic materials, with an
emphasis on the development of novel shape memory alloys for
biomedical applications, high temperature applications, and
micro-actuators. Prof. Kim has authored or co-authored more than
150 research publications including 25 papers published in Acta
Materialia. He received a Young Researcher Award in 2002, Murakami
Young Researcher Award in 2009, and Meritorious Award in 2013 from
the Japan Institute of Metals. He was honored as the best faculty
member in the University of Tsukuba in 2014. Prof. Shuichi Miyazaki
obtained a Ph. D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from
Osaka University in 1979. After receiving his Ph. D., he
immediately joined the University of Tsukuba where he is currently
a Professor in the Division of Materials Science. Prof. Miyazaki
has co-edited and co-authored 7 books, including “Shape Memory
Alloys, “Shape Memory Alloys for Biomedical Applications, “Thin
Film Shape Memory Alloys, and “Shape Memory and Superelastic
Alloys. He has also co-authored 26 book chapters and co-edited 12
special issues in International Journals. He has also co-authored
434 technical papers and 71 review papers published in Materials
Science and Engineering, especially relating to shape memory alloys
including TiNi alloys, Cu-Al-Ni alloy, Ni-free Ti-base alloys,
etc.
Prof. Miyazaki has been the recipient of sixteen awards, including
the Yamazaki-Teiichi Prize from the Foundation for promotion of
Material Science and Technology of Japan in 2002, the Minister
Award from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology, Japan in 2004, the ISI Highly Cited Researcher in
Materials Science Field from Thomson Reuters in 2004, the First
place in Class 5 at the International Metallographic Contest from
the International Metallographic Society/ ASM International in
2006, the Gold Medal Award from the Japan Institute of Metals in
2014, the Tsukuba Prize from The Science and Technology Promotion
Foundation of Ibaraki in 2014, and the Honda Memorial Prize from
the Honda Memorial Foundation in 2015.
Prof. Miyazaki has held several different roles including serving
as the President of the Japan Institute of Metals, a Cooperation
Member of the Science Council of Japan, a Member of International
Advisory Committee of the International Conference Organization on
Martensitic Transformations, a Board Member of the International
Organization of Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies in ASM
International, and a Board Member of the Honda Memorial Foundation.
