Ti-Ni-Cu形状记忆合金的温度记忆效应

采用差示扫描量热仪研究了Ti50Ni35Cu15以及Ti50Ni45Cu5(摩尔分数,%)形状记忆合金的温度记忆效应.结果表明:温度记忆效应仅在Ti-Ni-Cu合金的逆转变加热过程出现,在单斜结构马氏体与母相逆相变(B19'→B2)及正交结构马氏体与母相逆相变(B19→B2)过程中均能发生温度记忆效应;在随后的完全循环过程中,温度记忆记忆效应不再出现,DSC相变曲线又"恢复"到其原始形态;而在马氏体相变冷却过程中未发现温度记忆效应.分析表明,不完全相变过程中的弹性能再分布是可能的温度记忆效应机制.     

Twice reverse shape memory effect in CuZnAl shape memory alloy

The variations of the shape memory effects in the Cu-13Zn-15Al(mole fraction, %) alloy upon successive heating (the rate of heating is 5℃/min) have been studied by means of ρ-T curve , shape memory effect measurement, optical metallographical observation and X-ray diffraction. The first abnormal reverse shape memory effect occurs when the tested alloy is heated to the temperature below 320℃ ; when it is heated to the temperature between 320℃ and 450℃, the forward shape memory effect occurs; in the two stages, the shape of the sample remains the same as that in the furnace when it is taken out from the furnace and air-cooled; when the tested alloy is heated to the temperature above 450℃, the shape of the sample remains unchanged during heating, but the second reverse shape memory effect occurs after it is air-quenched.     

Shape memory behavior and tension-compression asymmetry of a FeNiCoAlTa single-crystalline shape memory alloy

A 〈1 0 0〉 textured polycrystalline FeNiCoAlTa shape memory alloy was recently shown to possess large superelastic strain and stress levels. In this study, the shape memory behavior of a Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Ta (at.%) single-crystalline material oriented along the 〈1 0 0〉 direction was studied, for the first time, by thermal cycling under constant stress levels in both tension and compression. When γ′ precipitates with an average size of 5 nm are introduced by an aging heat treatment, the single crystals show fully recoverable transformation strains up to 3.75% in tension and 2% in compression. The change in transformation temperatures for a unit change in applied stress level was higher in compression than in tension, in accord with the lower transformation strains in compression obtained both from theoretical calculations and experimental observations. However, in all specimens, the observed transformation strain levels were lower than theoretically predicted, possibly owing to significant volume fraction of non-transforming precipitates, incomplete martensite reorientation due to martensite variant interactions, and a slightly higher-than-expected martensite c/a ratio in the samples used in this study. The ramifications of relevant structural parameters and microstructural features on reaching theoretical transformation strain and high strength levels are also discussed.     

Effect of chemical component on shape memory effect of Fe-Mn-Si-Ni-C-RE shape memory alloy

Effect of chemical component on shape memory effect (SME) of Fe-Mn-Si-Ni-C-RE shape memory alloys was studied by bent measurement, thermal cycle training, SEM etc. Results of study indicate that the alloys with high Mn content (25%) appeare better SME, especially in lower strain. SME improves evidently when Si is higher content, especially it's range from 3% up to 4%. But brittleness of Fe-Mn-Si-Ni-C-RE alloy increases by increasing the Si content. SME of the alloy is weakening gradually as carbon content increases under small strain (3%). But in the condition of large strain (above 6%), SME of the alloy whose carbon content ranges from 0.1 % to 0.12% shows small decreasing range, especially of alloy with the addition of compound RE.     

Two-way shape memory effect and its stability in Ti-Ni-Hf high temperature shape memory alloy

The two-way shape memory effect(TWSME) in a Ti36 Ni49 Hf15 high temperature shape memory alloy (SMA) was systematically studied by bending tests. In the TiNiHf alloy, the martensite deformation is an effective method to get two-way shape memory effect even with a small deformation strain. The results indicate that the internal stress field formed by the bending deformation is in the direction of the preferentially oriented martensite variants formed during the bending deformation. Upon cooling the preferentially oriented martensite variants form under such an oriented stress field, which should be responsible for the generation of the two-way shape memory effect.Proper training process benefits the formation of the oriented stress field, resulting in the improvement of the twoway shape memory effect. A maximum TWSME of 0.88% is obtained in the present alloy.

Ni-Mn-Ga-V高温形状记忆合金研究

本文采用光学显微镜、X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜以及压缩力学试验机系统的研究了钒元素对(Ni56Mn25Ga19)100-xVx (x = 0, 1, 3) (at.%)高温形状记忆合金性能的影响。结果表明,由于钒取代方法的不同,我们所研究合金的组织结构和某些性能与已报到的Ni56Mn25Ga19-xVx合金差异较大。未掺杂钒元素时,试验合金由单相非调制四方结构马氏体构成,当钒含量为1at.%和3at.%时,合金由四方结构马氏体和竹叶状γ相构成。随着钒含量的增加,γ相的数量增多,但其尺寸和形状保持不变。钒掺杂改善合金的力学性能和形状记忆效应。 (Ni56Mn25Ga19)99V1合金变形10%后加热,可以得到6.7%的可逆应变。

比较研究了Cu-11．8％Al-3．7％Ni-1％Mn和Cu-11％A1—5．6％Mn形状记忆合金（SMAS）的形状记忆、腐蚀性能。采用光学显微镜（0M）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、差示扫描量热法（DSC）、动电位极化、弯曲和拉伸试验,研究了晶粒细化对这些性能的影响。在800。C退火时,在首先的15S内静态再结晶和动态晶粒长达显示出一个快速的再结晶过程,随后才是晶粒生长。退火15S后得到的Cu—A1—Ni-Mn和Cu-Al—Mn合金的最小晶粒尺寸分别为90gm和260pm。拉伸试验表明2种合金呈现典型的三阶段曲线,由此可以看出,晶粒细化后合金具有高的断裂应力和应变。显微组织表明,Cu—Al-Ni—Mn合金中存在锯齿状的所马氏体形态,通过差示扫描量热法也证实了所和rf共存于Cu—A1-Mn合金中。评估了形变热处理前、后及800℃退火15min,随后进行水淬的合金的形状记忆性能。另外,采用动电位极化法分析了晶粒细化后合金的腐蚀行为。结果表明,铜溶解过程中主要为阳极反应,Cu—Al—Ni—Mn合金比Cu—A1-Mn合金具有更好的耐腐蚀性。     

Factors affecting the generation of stress-assisted two-way memory effect in NiTi shape memory alloy

The combined effects of martensite pre-deformation and constrained stress on the generation of stress-assisted two-way memory effect (SATWME) were studied. Particular attention was paid to the generation of internal stress during thermal cycling under constant stress. The result highlights that the maximum SATWME is not determined solely by the maximum internal stress developed. The SATWME strain when subjected to 18% martensite pre-strain coincides, independently of constrained stress applied and internal stress developed. This study also provides experimental evidence that when under 400 MPa constrained stress the maximum SATWME shifts toward higher pre-deformation amplitude and this phenomenon is comparable to the increased cold-work. The results further suggest that the mechanism that associates with the change of M_s temperature plays critical role in determining the SATWME.     

Incomplete transformation of Ti-Ni-X ternary shape memory alloy

If the reverse transformation of a shape memory alloy is arrested, a kinetic stop will appear in the next complete transformation. The kinetic stop temperature has a close relation with the previous arrest temperature. This kinetic stop can be regarded as a ＂memory＂ of the previous arrest temperature. This phenomenon is named temperature memory effect（TME）. The TME induced by incomplete cycling in Ti-Ni-Nb and Ti-Ni-Cu alloys was systematically investigated by performing either a single incomplete cycle, or a sequence of incomplete cycles with different arrested temperatures. The results indicate that TME only exists in the heating process, and TME can occur both in B 19＇→B2 and B 19→B2 reverse transformation during heating process. But, there is no evidence of TME during cooling in the Ti-Ni-X ternary alloys. And the reverse transformation temperature interval （At-As） of the Ti44-Ni47-Nb9 alloy induced by TME can be significantly enlarged compared with that of the Ti-Ni-Cu alloy by performing multi-times incomplete transformation cycling with a decreasing order arrested temperature.

Microstructure,mechanical properties and shape memory effect of Ni–Mn–Ga–B high-temperature shape memory alloy

The effects of boron addition on the microstructure, transformation temperature, mechanical properties and shape memory effect of (Ni₅₄Mn₂₅Ga₂₁)_100−xB_x alloys were investigated. The results showed that the martensitic transformation start temperatures M_s decreased monotonically from 465 K for x = 0–278 K for x = 3. Boron addition refined the grain and significantly enhanced the mechanical properties. The compressive fracture strain of 22.3% and reversible strain of 6.8% were obtained in (Ni₅₄Mn₂₅Ga₂₁)_99.5B_0.5 alloy.     

Transformation hysteresis and shape memory effect of an ultrafine-grained TiNiNb shape memory alloy

In present work, transformation hysteresis and shape memory effect of an ultrafine-grained Ti₄₄Ni₄₇Nb₉ alloy processed by ECAP were studied. After deformation, the ECAPed sample showed a much wider transformation hysteresis than the initial sample due to the enlarged strength mismatch between matrix and β-Nb phase. The shape memory effect and its cycling stability of the ECAPed sample were obviously improved.     

Shape memory polymer nanocomposites

The paper describes the fabrication and characterization of composites with a shape memory polymer matrix and SiC nanoparticulate reinforcements. Composites based on a SMP matrix are active materials capable of recovering relatively large mechanical strains due to the application of heat. The composites were synthesized from a commercial shape memory polymer resin system and particulate SiC with an average diameter of 300 nm. Composites with weight fractions of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% nanoparticulate SiC were fabricated by casting samples with sizes ranging from a few hundred microns to several millimeters. The former size scale is consistent with a microcasting process for manufacturing microelectomechanical systems. The micro-hardness and elastic modulus of the nanocomposites increased by approximately a factor of 3 with the addition of 40 wt% SiC into the base resin. Unconstrained strain recoverability of the nanocomposites was found to depend on the fraction of SiC. For 180° bend tests, the recoverability of the nanocomposites was perfect for SiC weight fractions below 40%. For 40 wt% SiC, permanent bend strains were discovered. Constrained bending recovery force in the nanocomposites was shown to increase by 50% with the addition of 20 wt% SiC.

Compressive training of the shape memory alloy washer

This paper evaluates the performance and engineering aspects of 44Ti-47Ni-9Nb alloy in a pretensioning washer application. Previously the behavior of this alloy has mainly been studied for tensile predeformation with wires and strips up to 1 mm thickness. The present work investigated the effect of compression deformation and different homogenization temperatures on ring-shaped washers with larger dimensions. The best results with the compression-trained washer were achieved after homogenization at 1073 K where the compression training deformation was -10.4%, the lowest applied. The deformation training was carried out at 213 K near the martensitic reaction start temperature of the material. The expansion method, applied to the commercial reference ring, seemed to be a fairly efficient training method for the studied application, even though the parallel course of the radial surfaces was poor.     

Gamma-phase influence on shape memory properties in Ni-Mn-Co-Ga-Gd high-temperature shape memory alloys

The effect of γ-phase on two-way shape memory effect(TWSME) of polycrystalline Ni_(56)Mn_(25-x)Co_xGa_(18.9)Gd_(0.1) alloys was investigated. The results show that an appropriate amount of ductile γ-phase significantly enhances the TWSME. The largest TWSME of 1.4% without training is observed in Ni_(56)Mn_(21)Co_4Ga_(18.9)Gd_(0.1) alloy, and this value is increased to 2.0% after thermomechanical training. The as-trained TWSME decays over the first five thermal cycles and then reaches a stable value as the number of cycles further increasing. Only the degradation of 0.2% is observed after 100 thermal cycles. The better TWSME and thermal stability are ascribed to the stable extra stress field formed by the plastically deformed γ-phase.
