The reverted micro-structure of equiatomic NiTi is
characterized for several thermal and thermomechanical
situations. The generation of dislocations is shown to
occur in the martensite as well as the matrix. The debris
left after reversion indicates several structures act together
to bring about the conditions required for SME.
The nature of this interaction is affected by prior thermal
history.
