Ni_(54)Mn_(25)Ga_(15)Al_6高温形状记忆合金的微观组织和相变行为(英文)

研究Ni54Mn25Ga15Al6高温形状记忆合金的微观组织、马氏体相变特性、力学性能和形状记忆效应。通过与Ni54Mn25Ga21合金对比,分析添加第四组元Al对Ni-Mn-Ga合金性能的影响。结果表明:Ni54Mn25Ga15Al6合金为单一的四方结构非调制马氏体相并呈片状的马氏体孪晶板条形貌。该合金的马氏体相变开始温度超过190°C,具有发展成为高温形状记忆合金的潜力。在Ni-Mn-Ga合金中添加Al会降低马氏体相变温度,这主要归因于Al添加引入的晶格尺寸因素的改变。添加Al元素能有效提高合金的强度和塑性,但降低合金的形状记忆性能。     

Martensitic transition and shape memory effect of Ti-Zr-Mo series alloys

Development of shape memory alloys is always one of the most important directions for functional Ti alloys. The Ti-Zr-Mo series alloys with various Mo contents were prepared. The main aim of the current work is to investigate the effects of Mo on martensitic transition and shape memory effect of Ti-Zr alloy. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope results indicate that the phase constitution of the examined alloys is greatly dependent on Mo content. The Ti-Zr-Mo alloy with 2 wt% Mo is composed mainly of α′ martensite and a few β phase. As the Mo content increased to 4 wt%, the Ti-50Zr-4Mo alloy consists of α″ martensite and β phase. As the Mo content further increased to 8 wt%, the alloy consists mainly β phase and a barely detectable amount of α″ martensite. Thermal analysis shows that the reverse martensitic transition temperature of the examined alloys decreases with the increasing of Mo. The reverse martensitic transition start, A_s, temperature is approximately 584 °C for Ti-50Zr-2Mo alloy and 519 °C for Ti-50Zr-4Mo, respectively. And the martensitic transition start, M_s, temperature is approximately 553 °C and 501 °C for that two alloys, respectively. But no obvious exothermic and/or endothermic peak can be observed in DSC curve of Ti-50Zr-8Mo alloy. Furthermore, the effect of Mo content on shape memory recovery ratio, η, of the examined alloys was also investigated. Results show that the η first increases and then decreases with the increasing of Mo. The alloy with 4 wt% Mo has the maximum η approximately 13.8%. The influencing mechanism of Mo content on shape memory effect of the examined alloys was also discussed. This findings not only supplied a series of shape memory TiZr-based alloys, but also enriched and deepened the theory of shape memory effect.

Effect of Ce addition on the microstructure and damping properties of Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloys

The effect of rare earth element Ce addition on the microstructure, martensitic transformation, mechanical properties and damping behavior of the Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloys (SMAs) had been investigated. It is shown that the Ce addition makes the grain refinement and affects the martensitic transformation temperature. The tensile strength and the ductility of the Cu–Al–Mn alloys can be enhanced by the Ce addition. Damping capacity tan δ of the martensite for the Cu–Al–Mn–Ce alloys is strain amplitude dependent. The Ce addition has obvious effects on the damping properties of the martensite. With the increase of the Ce content, the damping capacity increases initially and then decreases.

Phase transformation and microstructure of quaternary TiNiHfCu high temperature shape memory alloys

The effect of Cu addition on the phase transformation and microstructure of TiNiHf high temperature shape memory alloy has been studied. The experimental results show that the TiNiHfCu alloy undergoes a B2↔B19′ transformation with a concentration of 3 at.% Cu. And a two-step phase transformation occurs upon heating when the Cu content is 5 at.%. The constitutional phases of TiNiHfCu quaternary alloys are the matrix and (Ti,Hf,Cu)₂Ni particles. The substructure of martensite is mainly (001) compound twin in TiNiHfCu alloys. The martensite variants are (011) type I twin related. The phase transformation temperatures decrease rapidly during the initial several thermal cycles and then keep constant with further increasing of the thermal cycles. It should be noticed that the R-phase transition is separated from the martensitic transformation during the cooling process in the TiNiHfCu alloys. The underlying reasons have been discussed.     

Effect of Co addition on martensitic phase transformation and magnetic properties of Mn50Ni40-xIn10Cox polycrystalline alloys

This study investigated the use of Co to enhance the magnetic driving force for inducing the martensitic transformation of Mn₅₀Ni_40-xIn₁₀Co_x alloys. These alloys present a martensitic transformation from a Hg₂CuTi-type austenite to a body centered tetragonal martensite, with a large lattice distortion of 15.7% elongation along the c direction and 8.2% contraction along a and b directions. The martensitic transformation temperatures, transformation enthalpy and entropy changes decreased with increasing the Co content in these alloys. The maximum magnetization of the austenite increased significantly, whereas that of the martensite changed much less prominently with increasing the Co substitution for Ni, leading to increase of the magnetic driving force for the transformation. The magnetization increase of the austenite is found to be due to (i) formation of ferromagnetically coupled Mn–Mn due to new atomic configuration in off-stoichiometric composition, (ii) magnetic moment contribution of Co and (iii) widening of the temperature window for magnetization of the austenite by lowering the temperature of the martensitic transformation. These findings clarify the effect of Co addition on martensitic transformation and magnetic properties in Mn-rich ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, and provide useful understanding for alloy design for magnetoactuation applications.     

Microstructure and martensitic transformation behavior of Ni56-xMn25FexGa19 shape memory alloys简

Microstructure, martensitic transformation behavior, mechanical and shape memory properties of Ni56-x Mn25 Fex Ga19(x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) shape memory alloys were investigated using optical microscopy(OM), X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), and compressive test. It is found that these alloys are composed of single non-modulated martensite phase with tetragonal structure at room temperature, which means substituting Fe for Ni in Ni56 Mn25 Ga19 alloy has no effect on phase structure. These alloys all exhibit a thermoelastic martensitic transformation between the cubic parent phase and the tetragonal martensite phase. With the increase of Fe content, the martensitic transformation peak temperature(Mp) decreases from 356 °C for x = 0 to 20 °C for x = 8, which is contributed to the depressed electron concentration and tetragonality of martensite. Fe addition remarkably reduces the transformation hysteresis of Ni–Mn–Ga alloys. Substituting Fe for Ni in Ni56 Mn25 Ga19 alloy can decrease the strength of the alloys and almost has no influence on the ductility and shape memory property.     

热诱发ε马氏体量对Co-30Ni合金形状记忆效应的影响

为了明确具有ε马氏体转变的Co-Ni基合金形状记忆效应的来源,通过控制不同变形温度,在Co-30Ni合金中获得不同数量的热诱发ε马氏体,在此基础上利用OM和XRD研究了变形时预先存在的热诱发ε马氏体的演化及其对应力诱发ε马氏体转变的影响,并采用弯曲法表征了合金的形状记忆效应。结果表明:合金的形状记忆效应都随热诱发和应力诱发ε马氏体数量的增加而升高,但原位金相未观察到热诱发ε马氏体在应力下的长大合并。Co-Ni基合金的形状记忆效应来源于应力诱发ε马氏体转变,而不是热诱发ε马氏体在应力下的长大合并。低的母相屈服强度是Co-Ni合金形状记忆效应差的原因。预先形成的热诱发ε马氏体能提高母相的屈服强度,因而有利于形状记忆效应的提高。     

Temperature memory effect in Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloys studied by adiabatic calorimetry

The temperature memory effect exhibited by Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloys was studied by means of adiabatic calorimetry and microscopic observations. The harmonic, anharmonic and electronic contributions to the lattice specific heat were estimated by using the experimental data of the metallic components. The obtained results provide an accurate baseline for the quantitative study of the martensitic phase transformations as a function of the thermal history in these alloys. The specific heat of a Cu–Al–Ni sample was measured from 140 to 350 K throughout the phase transition region, and the temperature memory effect was carefully studied. These results are in good agreement with the optical observations as a function of temperature. The global behaviour of the martensitic transformation as regards the temperature memory effect is discussed and interpreted in terms of the microscopic mechanisms of nucleation and motion of the martensite plates.     

Correlation between composition and phase transformation temperatures in Ni–Mn–Ga–Co ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

The effect of Co addition on the phase transformation temperatures (martensitic and Curie point) and crystal structure of Ni–Mn–Ga–Co shape memory alloys has been investigated on (Ni_50.26Mn_27.30Ga_22.44)_100−xCo_x (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) alloys as well as on alloys having different Ni/Mn/Ga ratios and a fixed amount of Co. Alloying by Co affects the martensitic transformation temperature and the transformation enthalpy change mainly through the change on the valence electron concentration (e/a), but the transformation entropy is almost unaffected. On the other hand, the composition (analyzed through the e/a ratio) shows a different influence on the Curie temperature depending on the crystallographic phase (austenite or martensite) in which the magnetic ordering takes place. It is also reported that in Ni–Mn–Ga–Co alloys the Curie temperature of the martensitic phase is lower than that of the austenitic phase, opposite to what occurs in ternary Ni–Mn–Ga alloys.     

Transformation Sequence Rule of Martensite Plates and Temperature Memory Effect in Shape Memory Alloys

In thermoelastic martensitic transformation, it is well established that the first martensite plate appearing upon cooling becomes the final one during reverse transformation to austenite upon heating. The results obtained from this work show that the transformation sequence of the martensite appears to be random. Newly formed martensite plates can modify the elastic strain energy level stored in the already existing martensite. Additionally, the elastic strain energy stored in newly formed martensite is not necessarily to be higher than the remaining martensite. The obtained results may assist in understanding phenomena related to partial transformation of shape memory alloys, such as temperature memory effect.

Leaf-like dislocation substructures and the decrease of martensitic start temperatures: A new explanation for functional fatigue during thermally induced martensitic transformations in coarse-grained Ni-rich Ti-Ni shape memory alloys

During repeatedly imposed thermally induced martensitic transformations in Ti-Ni shape memory alloys, the martensite start temperature M_s decreases. This has been rationalized on the basis of a scenario where an increasing dislocation density makes it more and more difficult for martensite to form. However, it is not clear why dislocations which form because they accommodate the growth of martensite during the first cooling cycle should act as obstacles during subsequent transformation cycles. In the present work we use diffraction contrast transmission electron microscopy to monitor the formation of unique leaf-like dislocation substructures which form as the martensite start temperature decreases during thermal cycling. We interpret our microstructural results on the basis of a microstructural scenario where dislocations play different roles with respect to the propagation of a big martensite needle in one transformation cycle and the nucleation and growth of new martensite needles in the following cycles. As a consequence, chestnut-leaf-like dislocation arrays spread out in different crystallographic directions.     

Microstructure, phase transformation and mechanical properties of Ni-Mn-Ga-Y magnetic shape memory alloys

Influence of rare earth Y addition on the microstructure and phase transitions and mechanical properties of polycrystalline Ni₅₀Mn₂₉Ga₂₁ ferromagnetic-shape memory alloy (FSMA) are investigated. It is shown that microstructure of the Ni-Mn-Ga-Y alloys consists of the matrix and the Y-rich phase. The Y-rich phase firstly disperses homogeneously in the matrix with small amounts and then tends to segregate at the grain boundaries with increasing Y substitution for Ga. The Y-rich phase is indexed to Y(Ni,Mn)₄Ga phase with a hexagonal CaCu₅ type structure. The structural transition from 5 M to 7 M, and then to non-modulated T martensite appears with the increase of Y content. The martensitic transformation temperature increases remarkably with increasing Y content, whereas the Curie temperature almost keeps unchanged. It is revealed that the appropriate addition of Y significantly enhances the yield strength and improves the ductility of the alloys. The mechanism on the influence of Y content on the improved mechanical properties and martensitic transformation temperature is also discussed.

Effect of high-temperature quenching on the magnetostructural transformations and the long-range atomic order of Ni–Mn–Sn and Ni–Mn–Sb metamagnetic shape memory alloys

The influence of high-temperature thermal treatments on the martensitic transformation and the magnetic properties of Ni–Mn–Sn and Ni–Mn–Sb metamagnetic shape memory alloys have been investigated by calorimetric and magnetic measurements. Contrary to Ni–Mn–Ga and Ni–Mn–In systems, the martensitic transformation and Curie temperatures of Ni–Mn–Sn and Ni–Mn–Sb alloys are found to be unaffected by the increasing quenching temperature. Neutron diffraction measurements confirm the null effect of quenching on the next-nearest-neighbors atomic order due to the negligible L2₁ atomic disorder achieved with high-temperature annealings. The analysis of long-range order also suggests that no L2₁–B2 ordering transition takes place in the studied alloys, thus indicating an unusually high stability of the L2₁ structure. The obtained results show that the magnetostructural properties of Ni–Mn–Sn and Ni–Mn–Sb alloys cannot be properly tuned by means of standard thermal treatments.     

Factors Influencing the Reversion of Stress-induced Martensite to Austenite in a Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni Shape Memory Alloy

It is well known that one way shape memory effect (SME) in Fe-Mn-Si-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) is related to the thermally induced reversion of ε (hexagonal close packed, hcp) stress-induced martensite (SIM) to γ (face centered cubic, fcc) austenite. In the case of a Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni SMA, this reverse martensitic transformation was analyzed in regard to the critical temperature for the beginning of austenite formation (A _s) in different states characterized by quenching temperature and permanent tensile strain. For this purpose, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), dilatometry (DIL), differential thermal analysis (DSC), and optical microscopy (OM) were employed to determine the influence of quenching temperature and permanent tensile straining on SIM reversion to austenite during heating.
