Processing, Pre-Aging, and Aging of NiTi-Hf (15-20 at.%) High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy from Laboratory to Industrial Scale
Description:
The overarching goal of this research was to generate a menu of shape memory alloys (SMAs) actuator materials capable of meeting the demands of aerospace applications. Material requirements were recognized to meet the demand for high temperature SMAs with actuating temperatures above 85 °C and provide material options capable of performing over 100K actuation cycles. The first study is a preliminary characterization for the down selection of Ni-rich NiTiHf15 compositions chosen for a more in-de…
