ABSTRACTThe character and mechanism of two-way shape memory (TWSM) “training” has been investigated in a Cu-Zn-Al alloy by means of detailed thermomechanical evaluation and TEM observations. The progressive effects of training on the TWSM behaviour, as well as an accompanying substructural evolution, have been established. The results indicate a relationship between the substructural effects of cyclic thermoelastic martensitic transformation and the ability to exhibit TWSM. Microscopic studies reveal that as the number of cycles of thermoelastic transformation under stress increases, specific physical features develop in the parent phase submicrostructure. These take the form of dislocation structures which evolve into “vestigial” martensite markinqs. These in turn assist in the nucleation and growth of a preferred martensite plate arrangement on cooling which is similar to that induced under stress during the training cycles.

Structure of bainite in Cu-Al and Cu-Zn-Al alloys has been reported as 3R, 9R or 18R long period stacking structure (LPS) by X-ray and electron diffraction studies. In the present work, a Cu-25.5 (at)% Al alloy sample was heated at 900°C for 2 h then isothermally held at 450°C for 60 s before quenching into iced brine. FIG.1 shows a TEM bright field image of bainite plates (marked B) grown from grain boundary. The parent phase ( with DO3 structure ) has transformed to martensite (marked M ) during cooling from 450° C to 0°C. Both bainite and martensite plates have dense striations inside.Careful diffraction study on a JEOL 2000FX TEM with accelerating voltage 200 KV revealed (FIG.2) that the diffraction patterns contai_ning the same zone axis [001] ( hexagonal index ) or [111]c ( cubic index ) are from a bainite plate with obtuse V-shape. They are indexed as [010], [140], [130], [120], [230], [340] and [110] zone pattern for hexagonal system respectively.

AbstractThe Fe-Mn-Al steels claim a low density, and some fall into the category of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel. In Fe-Mn-Al TRIP steel development, phase transformations play an important role. Herein, the martensitic transformation of an Fe-16.7 Mn-3.4 Al ternary alloy (wt pct) was experimentally discovered, whose equilibrium phases are a single phase of austenite at 1373 K and dual phases of ferrite and austenite at low temperature. Ferritic lath martensite forms in the prior austenite grains after cooling from 1373 K under various cooling rates via quenching, air cooling, and furnace cooling. The formation mechanism of the ferritic lath martensite is different from that of traditional ferritic lath martensite in steel and quite similar to that in maraging steel. A slight strain energy coupled with a small temperature gradient can lead to the formation of ferritic lath martensite in the Fe-Mn-Al alloy after cooling from high temperature. It is also found that micro-twins exist in the ferritic lath martensite.

The One

The internal friction of the hyperstabilized martensite demonstrates very low values, both above and below the nominal martensitic transformation temperature, due to a pronounced pinning effect. Over a wide temperature range it is comparable with the level of damping in the parent phase. A study of the temperature dependence of the non-linear ultrasonic internal friction and its strain amplitude hysteresis indicates that the diffusion, assisted by dislocations/interfaces, is quite pronounced and in Ni-Fe-Ga and Cu-Al-Be alloys it operates at temperatures around 20 K. The renucleation of the lamellar parent phase during the reverse martensitic transformation close to 600 K is accompanied by an internal friction peak which demonstrates a substantial transitory contribution. After renucleation of the parent phase the samples recover a conventional martensitic transformation with the internal friction level in the martensite comparable to the one in non-stabilized samples. Observations of a relaxation peak in the parent phase of different alloys for temperatures just below the renucleation stage of the reverse transformation point to the essential role of diffusion in the nucleation of the parent phase in hyperstabilized martensites.

Order Degree

The present work analyses the influence of austenite ordering on a single crystal Ni-Mn- Ga alloy which displays, on cooling, a sequence of martensitic (MT) and intermartensitic (IMT) transformations. The MT and IMT show distinct behaviour after ageing in austenite: while the MT temperatures are not affected by the performed heat treatments, the IMT shifts toward lower temperatures after quenching from increasing temperatures, progressive recovery occurring upon ageing in parent phase. Such evolution can be related to changes in the L21 order degree, in the sense that ordering favours the occurrence of the intermartensitic transformation, while it does not affect noticeably the forward and reverse martensitic transformation temperatures. The closeness of the free energies of the different martensite structures allows to explain this behaviour.
