AbstractThird element additions to TiNi provide a wide range of modifications of its shape memory properties. The advantages of Cu additions are to provide a more narrow hysteresis, less sensitivity to the Ti::Ni(+Cu) ratio of the temperature at which martensite starts to form (Ms), a larger strength differential between the austenite and martensite phases, and superior fatigue resistance. The substitution of a few atomic percent Cu for Ni does not significantly alter the crystal structure of either the cubic B2 austenite nor the monoclinic B19ʹ martensite phases; however, the addition of greater than 10% Cu results in an orthorhombic B19 martensite phase. For the case of 10% Cu, a two-step martensitic transformation occurs upon cooling, with the cubic austenite transforming to the orthorhombic B19 martensite and subsequently to the monoclinic B19ʹ martensite. As a result of this two-step crystallographic transformation, material properties such as resistivity and shape change also exhibit a two-step transformation.In situ transmission electron microscopy heating and cooling experiments are used to observe the two-step martensitic transformation and to establish an orientation relationship between the B19 orthorhombic and the B19ʹ monoclinic structures. Strain vs temperature Ms tests establish the relative shape changes associated with both the cubic-to-orthorhombic transformation and the orthorhombic-to-monoclinic transformation. Similar Ms tests, where an applied load is removed during the transformation, establishes a crystallographic dependence between the two shape changes. Whereas binary TiNi is "trained" to undergo a specific shape change, this ternary TiNiCu alloy has a "natural" direction associated with the second step of its shape change.

Temperature Range

A study of martensitic transformations and characteristics of the shape memory effect of medical alloys (TH-10) alloyed with aluminum up to 4 at.% Al long the TiNiMo-TiMeMo section was carried out. Aluminum has a fairly smooth effect on the temperatures of the beginning and end of the direct and reverse martensitic transformation, as well as similar characteristics under load, which makes it possible to use alloying with aluminum as a method for controlling the temperature range of shape change with the shape memory effect.

Shape Changes

The Rho subfamily of Ras-related small GTP-binding proteins is involved in regulation of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeletal changes induced by two members of this subfamily, Rho and Rac, in response to growth factor stimulation, have dramatic effects on cell morphology. We are interested in using Drosophila as a system for studying how such effects participate in development. We have identified two Drosophila genes, DRacA and DRacB, encoding proteins with homology to mammalian Rac1 and Rac2. We have made transgenic flies bearing dominant inhibitory (N17DRacA), and wild-type versions of the DRacA cDNA under control of an Hsp70 promoter. Expression of the N17DRacA transgene during embryonic development causes a high frequency of defects in dorsal closure which are due to disruption of cell shape changes in the lateral epidermis. Embryonic expression of N17DRacA also affects germband retraction and head involution. The epidermal cell shape defects caused by expression of N17DRacA are accompanied by disruption of a localized accumulation of actin and myosin thought to be driving epidermal cell shape change. Thus the Rho subfamily may be generating localized changes in the cytoskeleton during Drosophila development in a similar fashion to that seen in mammalian and yeast cells. The Rho subfamily is likely to be participating in a wide range of developmental processes in Drosophila through its regulation of the cytoskeleton.

Most polymers used in clinical applications today are materials that have been developed originally for application areas other than biomedicine. On the other side, different biomedical applications are demanding different combinations of material properties and functionalities. Compared to the intrinsic material properties, a functionality is not given by nature but result from the combination of the polymer architecture and a suitable process. Examples for functionalities that play a prominent role in the development of multifunctional polymers for medical applications are biofunctionality (e.g. cell or tissue specificity), degradability, or shape-memory functionality. In this sense, an important aim for developing multifunctional polymers is tailoring of biomaterials for specific biomedical applications. Here the traditional approach, which is designing a single new homo- or copolymer, reaches its limits. The strategy, that is applied here, is the development of polymer systems whose macroscopic properties can be tailored over a wide range by variation of molecular parameters. The Shape-memory capability of a material is its ability to trigger a predefined shape change by exposure to an external stimulus. A change in shape initiated by heat is called thermally-induced shape-memory effect. Thermally, light-, and magnetically induced shape-memory polymers will be presented, that were developed especially for minimally invasive surgery and other biomedical applications. Furthermore triple-shape polymers will be introduced, that have the capability to perform two subsequent shape changes. Thus enabling more complex movements of a polymeric material.

The titanium alloys containing the Nb transition elements have been investigated as the Ni-free shape memory and the biomedical alloys with a low elastic modulus. The mechanical properties of the alloys depended upon the meta-stable phases like the α`, α``, ω. To study the martensitic transformations from the β to α`` or α` the Ti-xNb (x=0 to 40 wt%) alloys were melted into the button type ingots using a VAR, and followed by the water-quenching after the soaking at 1000oC for 2hrs. The crystallography of the martensitic phases in the water-quenched alloys was analyzed using a XRD. The diffraction peaks of the orthorhombic martensites were identified by the crystallographic relationship with the bcc matrix. The lattice parameters of the orthorhombic martensites were varied continuously with the contents of the Nb elements. The martensitic transformations of the alloys were studied using the phenomenological theory of Bowles and Mackenzie.

The use of smart material such as Ti-Ni in actuators application requires an intense mechanical and metallurgical investigation to understand its behavior. This paper studies martensitic transformation using DSC and X-ray diffraction techniques to compare shape memory parameters in Ti-50.2%Ni (A1) and equiatomic Ti-50.0%Ni (A2) Alloys. The as as-received samples were submitted to annealing at 400°C and 500°C for 24 hours then quenched in at 25°C. The influence of heat treatment on martensitic transformations temperatures and the appearance of R-phase were analyzed using DSC and X-ray diffraction.

AbstractThe martensitic transformation has so far been studied without considering its interaction with point defects. In this article, we shall show that such interaction, which stems from a universal symmetry property of point defects, can create a rich spectrum of exotic multiscale phenomena in martensitic materials. These phenomena include unique short-range diffusion at the atomic or nano level, remarkable domain-pattern memory at the mesoscopic level, and peculiar rubber-like behavior and aging-induced two-way shape memory at the macroscopic level. Exotic multiscale phenomena may also be found in a wide range of transforming materials, such as ferroelastic, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic materials. These novel effects may provide new opportunities for these important materials.

Austenitic Transformation

A strong need exists to develop new kinds of high-temperature shape-memory alloys. In this study, two series of CoNiGa alloys with different compositions have been studied to investigate their potentials as high-temperature shape-memory alloys, with regard to their microstructure, crystal structure, and martensitic transformation behavior. Optical observations and X-ray diffractions confirmed that single martensite phase was present for low cobalt samples, and dual phases containing martensite and γ phase were present for high cobalt samples. It was also found that CoNiGa alloys in this study exhibit austenitic transformation temperatures higher than 340°C, showing their great potentials for developing as high-temperature shape-memory alloys.

Martensitic transformations are first order solid state phase transitions and occur in the materials on cooling from high temperature. Shape memory effect is an unusual property exhibited by certain alloy systems, and based on martensitic transformation. The shape memory property is characterized by the recoverability of previously defined shape or dimension when they are subjected to variation of temperature. The shape memory effect is facilitated by martensitic transformation, and shape memory properties are intimately related to the microstructures of the materials. Martensitic transformations occur as martensite variant with the cooperative movement of atoms on {110}β - type plane of austenite matrix. Martensitic transformations have diffusionless character, and the atomic movement is confined to interatomic lengths in the materials. The basic factors which govern the martensitic transformation are Bain distortion and homogeneous shears. Copper based alloys exhibit this property in metastable β-phase field.

The ε martensite phase was investigated in three types of FeMn (Cr) steels by means of metallographic, EBSD and XRD methods as well as by dilatometric and DSC examinations during heating and cooling. In the course of the latter examinations, the transformation temperatures (Ms, As) of ε martensite were determined in the previously deformed samples as well. The results were also compared to the thermodynamic data published in the references describing the γε and γα transformations.

Internal friction of Ti-24mol%Nb-3mol%Al (Ti-24Nb-3Al) shape memory alloy with a well-developed texture was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in a tensile mode with a frequency of 1Hz and a temperature range of 123~423K. Ti-24Nb-3Al alloy fabricated by Ar arc-melting was cold-rolled with a reduction in thickness of 99% and then heat-treated at 1173K for 3.6ks in vacuum to develop a recrystallization texture. The martensitic transformation temperature and internal friction (tan δ) were evaluated under the stress amplitude of 36MPa. The tensile direction was selected to be the rolling direction (RD) and the transverse direction (TD). The specimen was β-single phase with a well-developed {112}β<110>β texture at room temperature and exhibited high damping during martensitic transformation and in the martensite phase. The relationship between internal friction and the tensile direction is discussed on the view point of the crystallography of the transformation.
