AbstractCombustion synthesis is an energetically favorable new method of producing Ni-Ti series shape memory alloys (SMA′s). The ΔH°f,,298/Cp298 ratio plays a key role, especially if a liquid product is required. Solidified TiNi SMA's were hot rolled into plates exhibiting the shape memory effect. Ms transition temperatures can be controlled from -78 to 460°C by substituting Fe or Pd for Ni.

The Impact

Abstract Ni-Ti is a key shape memory alloy (SMA) system for applications, being cheap and having good mechanical properties. Recently, atomistic simulations of Ni-Ti SMAs have been used with the purpose of revealing the nano-scale mechanisms that control superelasticity and the shape memory effect, which is crucial to guide alloying or processing strategies to improve materials performance. These atomistic simulations are based on molecular dynamics modelling that relies on (empirical) interatomic potentials. These simulations must reproduce accurately the mechanism of martensitic transformation and the microstructure that it originates, since this controls both superelasticity and the shape memory effect. As demonstrated by the energy minimization theory of martensitic transformations [Ball, James (1987) Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 100:13], the microstructure of martensite depends on the lattice parameters of the austenite and the martensite phases. Here, we compute the bounds of possible microstructural variations based on the experimental variations/uncertainties in the lattice parameter measurements. We show that both density functional theory and molecular dynamics lattice parameters are typically outside the experimental range, and that seemingly small deviations from this range induce large deviations from the experimental bounds of the microstructural predictions, with notable cases where unphysical microstructures are predicted to form. Therefore, our work points to a strategy for benchmarking and selecting interatomic potentials for atomistic modelling of shape memory alloys, which is crucial to modelling the development of martensitic microstructures and their impact on the shape memory effect.

Because of being in possession of shape memory effect and superelasticity, Ni-Ti shape memory alloys have earned more intense gaze on the next generation applications. Conventionally, Ni-Ti shape memory alloys are manufactured by hot forming and constraint aging, which need a capital-intensive investment. To have a cost benefit getting rid of plenty of die sets, this study is aimed to form Ni-Ti shape memory alloys at room temperature and to age them at elevated temperature without any die sets. In this study, starting with solution treatments at various temperatures, which served as annealing process, Ni-rich Ni-Ti shape memory alloy wires were bent by V-shaped punches in different curvatures at room temperature. Subsequently, the wires were aged at different temperatures to have shape memory effect. As a result, springback was found after withdrawing the bending punch and further after the aging treatment as well. A higher solution treatment temperature or a smaller bending radius leads to a smaller springback, while a higher aging treatment temperature made a larger springback. This springback may be compensated by bending the wires in further larger curvatures to keep the shape accuracy as designed. To explore the shape memory effect, a reverse bending test was performed. It shows that all bent wires after aging had a shape recovery rate above 96.3% on average.

This work studies the effect of heat treatment and cutting velocities on machining cutting forces in turning of a Cu-11.8%Al-0.55%Be shape memory alloys. The heat treatment was performed to obtain samples with austenite and martensite microstructures. Cutting force was investigated using a 3-component dynamometer in several revolutions and data were analyzed using statistic tools. It was found that the resultant forces were higher in quenched alloy due to the presence of Shape Memory Effect. Chip formation occurred in a shorter time in the sample without the Shape Memory Effect.

High Entropy

The present study is dedicated to the microstructure characterization of the as-cast high entropy intermetallics that undergo a martensitic transformation, which is associated with the shape memory effect. It is shown that the TiZrHfCoNiCu system exhibits strong dendritic liquation, which leads to the formation of martensite crystals inside the dendrites. In contrast, in the CoNiCuAlGaIn system the dendritic liquation allows the martensite crystals to form only in interdendritic regions. This phenomenon together with the peculiarities of chemical inhomogeneities formed upon crystallization of this novel multicomponent shape memory alloys systems will be analyzed and discussed.

A constitutive model is developed for shape memory alloys (SMAs) based on the concept that an SMA is a mixture composed of austenite and martensite. The deformation of the martensite is separated into elastic, thermal, reorientation and plastic parts, and that of the austenite is separated into elastic, thermal and plastic parts. The volume fraction of each phase is determined with the modified Tanaka’s transformation rule. The typical constitutive behavior of some SMAs, including pseudoelasticity, shape memory effect, plastic deformation as well as its effects, is analyzed.

An approach has been presented to account for micro-plastic deformation and stress produced by accommodation of martensite. This has made it possible to describe such phenomena as incomplete recovery of strain, strain accumulation at thermocycling, and repeated two-way shape memory effect. Results of modeling are in good qualitative agreement with experimental data.
