Processing and Shape-Setting of Shape Memory Alloys for Small Satellite Antennas
Description:
In this study, four different NiTi-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) compositions were processed, shape-set, and characterized to evaluate their effectiveness as SMA actuation component for satellite antennas. Three of the compositions were commercially available NiTi wires (90°C Flexinol® actuator NiTi wire and Confluent ADB SE508 NiTi wire), NiTi SM495 plates (ATI Specialty Alloys and Components) and the other composition was in house lab-produced NiTiCu plate. Different shape-setting techniqu…
