Ferromagnetic Shape Memory

The ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) are relatively the brand new smart materials group. The most interesting issue connected with FSMA is magnetic shape memory, which gives a possibility to achieve relatively high strain (over 8%) caused by magnetic field. In this paper the effect of annealing on the microstructure and martensitic transition on Ni-Mn-Co-In ferromagnetic shape memory alloy has been studied. The alloy was prepared by melting of 99,98% pure Ni, 99,98% pure Mn, 99,98% pure Co, 99,99% pure In. The chemical composition, its homogeneity and the alloy microstructure were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The phase composition was also studied by X-ray analysis. The transformation course and characteristic temperatures were determined by the use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and magnetic balance techniques. The results show that Tc of the annealed sample was found to decrease with increasing the annealing temperature. The Ms and Af increases with increasing annealing temperatures and showed best results in 1173K. The studied alloy exhibits a martensitic transformation from a L21 austenite to a martensite phase with a 7-layer (14M) and 5-layer (10M) modulated structure. The lattice constants of the L21 (a0) structure determined by TEM and X-ray analysis in this alloy were a0=0,4866. The TEM observation exhibit that the studied alloy in initial state has bigger accumulations of 10M and 14M structures as opposed from the annealed state.

Resonant Ultrasound

We discuss the suitability of laser-based resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) for the characterization of soft shearing modes in single crystals of shape memory alloys that are close to the transition temperatures. We show, using a numerical simulation, that the RUS method enables the accurate determination of the c′ shear elastic coefficient, even for very strong anisotropy, and without being sensitive to misorientations of the used single crystal. Subsequently, we apply the RUS method to single crystals of three typical examples of shape memory alloys (Cu-Al-Ni, Ni-Mn-Ga, and NiTi), and discuss the advantages of using the laser-based contactless RUS arrangement for temperature-resolved measurements of elastic constants.

Ferroic Materials

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a class of ferroic materials which undergo a structural (martensitic) transition where the associated ferroic property is a lattice distortion (strain). The sensitiveness of the transition to the conjugated external field (stress), together with the latent heat of the transition, gives rise to giant mechanocaloric effects. In non-magnetic SMA, the lattice distortion is mostly described by a pure shear and the martensitic transition in this family of alloys is strongly affected by uniaxial stress, whereas it is basically insensitive to hydrostatic pressure. As a result, non-magnetic alloys exhibit giant elastocaloric effects but negligible barocaloric effects. By contrast, in a number of magnetic SMA, the lattice distortion at the martensitic transition involves a volume change in addition to the shear strain. Those alloys are affected by both uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure and they exhibit giant elastocaloric and barocaloric effects. The paper aims at providing a critical survey of available experimental data on elastocaloric and barocaloric effects in magnetic and non-magnetic SMA. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials’.

Microscopic Scale

Shape memory alloys exhibit a peculiar property, shape memory effect that is the result from the structural changes in microscopic scale. These alloys return to previously defined shapes when they are subjected to variation of temperature after deformation of the low temperature phase. Shape-memory effect is based on martensitic transformation, with which the material changes its internal crystalline structure. The ordered structure or super lattice structure is essential for the shape memory effect of the material. Copper based alloys exhibit this property in the β-phase field, which possesses the simple bcc-structure at high temperature austenite phase. As the temperature is lowered, austenite phase undergoes martensitic transition following two ordering reactions, and microstructural changes in microscopic scale govern this transition. In the present work, Cu alloys were investigated by transmission electron microscope, TEM, and x-ray diffraction techniques.

This letter reports on stress–strain experiments on a Cu – Zn – Al single crystal performed using a purpose-built tensile device which enables the load applied to the specimen to be controlled while elongation is continuously monitored. From the measured isothermal tensile curves, the stress-induced entropy changes are obtained at different temperatures. These data quantify the elastocaloric effect associated with the martensitic transition in shape-memory alloys. The large temperature changes estimated for this effect, suggest the possibility of using shape-memory alloys as mechanical refrigerators.
