Dilatation characteristics were measured to investigate the thermal arrest memory effect inNi53.6Mn27.1Ga19.3andNi54.2Mn29.4Ga16.4alloys. Interruption of the martensite-austenite phase transformation is connected with the reduction of the sample length after thermal cycle. If a total phase transformation took place in the complete thermal cycle following the interruption, then the sample length would return to its original length. Analysis of these results has shown that the thermal arrest memory effect is a consequence of a stress-focusing effect and shape memory effect. The stress-focusing effect occurs when the phase transformation propagates radially in a cylindrical sample from the surface, inward to the center. Evolution and release of the thermoelastic deformations in both alloys during heating and cooling are analyzed.

Reversible Phase

This project is investigates of NiTi shape memory alloy for simple smart application. The shape memory effect (SME) is attributed from the reversible phase transformation when subjected to stress and temperature. In this study, a small model of CAMAR logo was designed to mimic the shape memory effect. Three samples of wire were investigated; (i) Austenitic NiTi (ii) Martensitic NiTi and (iii) commercial plain carbon steel. The reversible austenite to martensite transformation of the NiTi wire was investigated by a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at temperatures ranging from -50 and 200oC. The wire was shaped into CAMAR logo using a mould and then heated at 500°C for 30 minutes in a high temperature furnace. To observe the shape effect recovery, the wire was straighten and reheated in warm water at different temperatures. Results showed that the austenitic wire exhibited complete shape memory recovery after heated at temperature approximately 35°C and  80°C. For the martensitic wire, complete recovery was only observed when the water temperature was ~ 80°C and no recovery was observed at ~30°C. This recovery effect was significantly influenced by the reversible phase transformation temperatures (PTTs) which attributed from the Austenite finish (Af) temperature.

Damping Capacity

The shape memory effect and the high damping in shape memory alloys are based on the martensitic phase transformation, which takes place essentially without diffusion and any change of order have an influence on its side effects: the memory effect, the superelasticity and the high damping capacity of the martensitic phase. A new method to control the performance of shape memory alloys is presented, which is based on selective modification of specified parts of working components. In this research, ion irradiation has been used to introduce locally disorder into a crystal or even amorphise it. A pre-deformed Ni-Ti, 6μm thin film in its martensitic state has been irradiated with Ni-ions of energy of 5 MeV up to a dose of 1016 ions/cm2. By this treatment, a 2μm thin surface layer has been finally transformed into an amorphous state, in which the martensitic transformation is suppressed. During heating the underlying non-modified layer is contracting and an out-of-plane movement is observed. The amorphous layer is elastically deformed and its energy is used during cooling to bring the film in its original shape. In this way, a reversible movement of the film is created. This new technique not only allows us to design new types of micro-actuators, but also to influence locally the high damping, which can be of great importance for micro-engineering applications.

Effect of chemical composition was investigated on martensitic transformation temperatures, Curie temperature, magnetization and microstructures for Ni-(Mn, Fe, Co)-Ga and Cu-Mn-Ga systems. In the Ni-(Mn, Fe, Co)-Ga alloys, which is a modification of Ni-Mn-Ga systems, the Af and TC over 400 K were achieved. Cu-Mn-Ga alloy exhibited shape memory effect at temperatures above 373 K and had TC over 400 K. Furthermore, Cu-Mn-Ga exhibits good ductility even in polycrystalline condition unlike the case of Ni-Mn-Ga. Effect of addition of the fourth element to improve the magnetic property is under investigation.

In Situ Heating

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoindentation, both with in situ heating capability, and electrical resistivity measurements were used to investigate phase transformation phenomena and thermomechanical behavior of shape-memory titanium-nickel (TiNi) films. The mechanisms responsible for phase transformation in the nearly equiatomic TiNi films were revealed by heating and cooling the samples inside the TEM vacuum chamber. Insight into the deformation behavior of the TiNi films was obtained from the nanoindentation response at different temperatures. A transition from elastic-plastic to pseudoelastic deformation of the martensitic TiNi films was encountered during indentation and heating. In contrast to the traditional belief, the martensitic TiNi films exhibited a pseudoelastic behavior during nanoindentation within a specific temperature range. This unexpected behavior is interpreted in terms of the evolution of martensitic variants and changes in the mobility of the twinned structures in the martensitic TiNi films, observed with the TEM during in situ heating.
