Martensite Stabilization

Simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, and acoustic emission, AE, measurements were carried out for single crystals of quenched and stress-induced martensite stabilized (SIM-aged) shape memory Ni51Fe18Ga27Co4 alloy. The transformation temperatures were shifted to higher values, the forward (from austenite to martensite) and reverse transitions became sharper and the width of the hysteresis increased in the SIM-aged sample. The energy distributions of acoustic hits showed similar behaviour to those of the quenched sample and the energy exponents, characterizing the power law behaviour, were also similar. For SIM-aged alloys at heating, in accordance with the sharper (burst-like) transition observed in the DSC run, few high-energy solitary hits were observed, and these hits did not fit to the energy distribution function fitted for smaller energies. Thus, these high-energy events were attributed to high sudden jumps in the phase transition during heating. The effect of long-range order (by applying a heat treatment at 573 K for 6 h to transform the B2 austenite to ordered L21 structure) and the SIM-aging on the transformation entropy was also investigated by DSC. It was found that the entropy was about 36% smaller after SIM-aging of the quenched sample and it was practically unchanged after austenite stabilization.

Martensite Stabilization

Measurements have been carried out to compare stress-induced martensite stabilization aged (SIM-aged) and as grown shape memory Ni53Mn25Ga22 single crystals with the means of simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and acoustic emission (AE). Contrary to expectations, the position of the hysteresis practically did not change, whilst the width of the hysteresis increased, and the forward and reverse transitions became sharper in the SIM-aged sample. The energy distributions of acoustic hits showed regular power law behaviour and the energy exponents were slightly different for heating and cooling; this asymmetry had different signs for the SIM-aged and as grown samples. During heating, in accordance with the sharper transitions observed in the DSC runs, two well-marked jumps could be seen on the plot of cumulative number of the acoustic emission events. Therefore, these were attributed to high sudden jumps in the phase transition during heating observed in the DSC. The effect of the SIM-aging on the transformation entropy was also investigated and it was found that it was about 36% less in the case of the SIM-aged sample.

Many technological applications of austenitic shape memory alloys (SMAs) involve cyclical mechanical loading and unloading in order to take advantage of pseudoelasticity. In this paper, we investigated the effect of mechanical bending of pseudoelastic NiTi SMA wires using high-energy synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). Differential scanning calorimetry was performed to identify the phase transformation temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy images show that micro-cracks in compressive regions of the wire propagate with increasing bend angle, while tensile regions tend not to exhibit crack propagation. SR-XRD patterns were analyzed to study the phase transformation and investigate micromechanical properties. By observing the various diffraction peaks such as the austenite (200) and the martensite (${\bar 1}12$), (${\bar 1}03$), (${\bar 1}11$), and (101) planes, intensities and residual strain values exhibit strong anisotropy, depending upon whether the sample is in compression or tension during bending.

AbstractThe aging effects of two kinds of Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys (Cu-ll.4 Zn-18.7A1 (A) and Cu-ll.2Zn-17.lAl (B) in at%) have been examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom location by channeling enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI). In the directly quenched (D.Q.) state, alloy A was the parent phase, Ms being 253 K, and alloy B was the martensite phase. The alloy B was subjected another quenching treatment as follows: It was once quenched into an oil bath at 423 K and held for 300 s, followed by quenching into iced water (step quench (S.Q.) ). The D.Q. alloy B did not exhibit the reverse transformation because of a stabilization of the martensbite phase, but the S.Q. alloy B did and its As temperature of the reverse transformation was raised with the progress of aging at the martensitic state. Fraction of Zn atoms at the Cu(2) site examined by the ALCHEMI measurements was almost the same in the parent phase of D.Q. alloy A and its aged one, indicating no change in Cu and Zn atom sites, while it was gradually decreased in S.Q. alloy B with the progress of aging. The fraction of Zn atoms in D.Q. alloy B was much lower than those in the S.Q. alloy B and its aged one. TEM observation of the S.Q. alloy B revealed that stacking faults as the lattice invariant shear in the M18R martensites decreased in the density with the progress of aging. The decrease in the fraction of Zn atoms and in the density of stacking faults well corresponds to the increase in As temperature, and thus the martensite stabilization was attributed to a disordering between Cu and Zn atoms and to an annihilation of stacking faults.

Recent applications of differential scanning calorimetry in the study of solid–solid transformations are presented. The importance of the deconvolution of the thermograms and of the modelling of the calorimetric equipment is stressed.Investigations of the phase transformations of the martensitic type in shape-memory alloys have made clear the influence of thermomechanical treatment of the material and have evaluated the influence of defects on the dynamics of transformation. A combination of calorimetric and acoustical observations has demonstrated irreversibilities, even in the so-called thermoelastic transitions. Keywords: martensitic transformation, differential scanning calorimetry, entropy production, thermomechanical treatments, acoustic emission.

Shape setting is one of the most important steps in the production route of Nitinol Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), as it can fix the functional properties, such as the shape memory effect and the superelasticity (SE). The conventional method for making the shape setting is performed at 400–500[Formula: see text]C in furnaces. In this work, a laser beam was adopted for performing straight shape setting on commercially available austenitic Nitinol thin wires. The laser beam, at different power levels, was moved along the wire length for inducing the functional performances. Calorimetric, pseudo-elastic and microstructural features of the laser annealed wires were studied through differential scanning calorimetry, tensile testing and high energy X-ray diffraction, respectively. It can be stated that the laser technology can induce SE in thin Nitinol wires: the wire performances can be modulated in function of the laser power and improved functional properties can be obtained.

Abstract To study the influence of fissure angle on the failure mechanism of coal mass, uniaxial compression tests were conducted on coal specimens with different fissure angles. The failure process and acoustic emission characteristics during loading were obtained. The mechanical properties and failure mode were further analyzed. The results showed that (1) The stress-strain behavior of specimens with different fissure angles can be divided into four typical stages, compaction, elastic deformation, crack growth and propagation, and strain-softening. The existence of pre-existing fissures reduces the duration of the elastic stage with an obvious influence on the crack growth and propagation stage, and strain-softening stage. (2) The uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus of the specimens containing pre-existing fissure are all lower than those of the unfissured. The strength and elastic modulus do not change significantly with fissure angle, which is closely related to the primary fracture of the coal. (3) With the increase of the fissure angle, the crack initiation location moves from the center of the pre-existing fissure to the tip. While fissure angle has no obvious effect on the crack propagation direction, the cracks develop along the loading direction. (4) The AE characteristics can be divided into three typical periods, quiet period, active period, and remission period. With the increase of the fissure angle, the duration proportion of the quiet period increases, indicating that the energy storage time of coal increases. With the increase of the fissure angle, the occurrence time of low frequency and high energy signal is delayed, indicating that the large-size rupture gradually concentrates in the late loading period. (5) Compared with rock samples containing pre-existing fissure, coal specimens have more primary fractures, and the failure mechanism of coal is dominated by the non-uniform primary fractures.

The aim of the present study has been to evaluate the effect of hybridization of montmorillonite (MMT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the thermal and viscoelastic properties of shape memory epoxy polymer (SMEP) nanocomposites. In this study, ultra-sonication was utilized to disperse 1%, 3%, and 5% MMT in combination with 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% MWCNT into the epoxy system. The fabricated SMEP hybrid nanocomposites were characterized via differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The storage modulus (E’), loss modulus (E”), tan δ, decomposition temperature, and decomposition rate, varied upon the addition of the fillers. Tan δ indicated a reduction of glass transition temperature (Tg) for all the hybrid SMEP nanocomposites. 3% MMT/1% MWCNT displayed best overall performance compared to other hybrid filler concentrations and indicated a better mechanical property compared to neat SMEP. These findings open a way to develop novel high-performance composites for various potential applications, such as morphing structures and actuators, as well as biomedical devices.
