Abstract
Résumé

Amongst titanium alloys, metastable β types are the most promising to improve performances of materials currently used in several sectors such as aeronautics or biomedical applications. Particularly, some metastable β titanium alloys exhibit a stress-induced martensitic transformation (into the orthorhombic $α^{″}$ phase) that can be tuned to obtain superelasticity or the TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect. The design strategy of such strain-transformable alloys is presented here, and some recent key findings are highlighted and discussed.

Parmi les alliages de titane, ceux de type β métastable sont les plus prometteurs pour améliorer les performances des matériaux utilisés actuellement dans de nombreux secteurs tels que l'aéronautique ou le biomédical. En particulier, certains alliages de titane β métastable sont sujet à une transformation martensitique induite sous contrainte (vers la phase $α^{″}$ orthorhombique), qui peut être ajustée afin d'obtenir de la superélasticité ou un effet TRIP (TRansformation-Induced Plasticity). La stratégie de conception de ces alliages transformables par déformation est présentée ici et quelques découvertes majeures récentes sont mises en lumière et discutées.
