BECAUSE of their perfect shape memory effect as well as excellent superelasticity, NiTi-based shape memory alloy (SMA) has been the most popular one of all the shape memory alloys (SMAs). Hot working[1,2] and thermomechanical processing[3–6] are two typical methods of manufacturing NiTi-based SMAs. The former focuses on the reduction of working loads and the improvement of ductility,[7,8] while the latter guarantees the accurate dimensional tolerance.[9,10] Both of the aforementioned methods have an important effect on the microstructures as well as the properties of NiTi-based SMAs. Over the past few years, more and more researchers have paid their attention to improving microstructures as well as properties of NiTi-based SMAs in a variety of ways, such as hot deformation, cold rolling,[11,12] high-pressure torsion (HPT),[13,14] cold drawing,[15,16] equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE),[17,18] canning compression,[19,20] and the YANQIU ZHANG and SHUYONG JIANG are with the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, 145 Nantong Street, Harbin 150001, P.R.

METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A
combination of cold deformation and heat treatment.[21,22] Although these methods can significantly modify the microstructures or mechanical properties of NiTi-based SMAs, they are unable to obtain homogeneous microstructure in a material which possesses large size in all the three dimensions, and the obtained alloys often possess a poor combination of mechanical properties. In addition, most of the aforementioned investigations focused on microstructures and properties of NiTi-based SMAs based on hot deformation or cold deformation alone. Several studies have been concerned with the influence of cold deformation and subsequent heat treatment on the NiTi-based SMAs,[5,21,22] but all of them emphasized the heat treatment at lower temperatures. In fact, texture acts as a significant role in the mechanical properties of metals.[23–27] In addition, the texture of NiTi-based SMAs is still under the debate. In the case of rolling texture, Chang and Wu[28] studied the texture of cold-rolled Ni50Ti50 SMA at B2 state and found that the texture in this alloy consists of two components, i.e., ð331Þ½110 in rolling direction and ð111Þ½110 c-fiber in normal direction. Goryczka and Ochin[29] investigated the textures of two NiTibased (Ni50Ti50 and Ni47Ti50Co3 (at. pct)) SMA strips obtained by twin roll casting technique at B2 state, and they found that h100i fiber and {100}h001i sheet textures are dominant in both the alloys. Laplanche et al.[30] investigated the evolution of texture in a hot-rolled Ni51Ti49 SMA, and they found strong
