The structural fatigue of superelastic NiTi was studied with special attention paid to the drop in fatigue performance commonly observed at the onset of the stress-induced martensitic transformation. We processed the superelastic NiTi wires into an hourglass shape as a result of which the stress induced martensitic transformation in tension is not localized as confirmed by digital image correlation measurements. The hourglass shaped samples were subjected to force controlled pull-pull fatigue tests at two distinct temperatures selected to investigate the fatigue of NiTi with and without the R-phase transformation involved, and to capture the effect of varying critical stress for the onset of B19' martensitic transformation. Resulting fatigue curves expressed in terms of both the stress and the strain show a first degradation of fatigue performance at stresses more than 200 MPa below the onset of the martensitic transformation.
