Investigation of the Processing-Induced Transition from Shape Memory to Strain Glass of Ni-Ti and Fe-Mn-Al-Cr-Ni Alloys

Description: In this study, we observed the effects of the processing-induced method on two different shape memory alloys (SMAs). First, we compare the transformation behavior of a martensitic NiTi SMA during thermal cycling using wide angle synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (WAXS). Based on the thermal cycling results, three observations about processing-induced SGAs as compared to SMAs can be seen: (1) retention of distorted austenite at high and low temperatures, (2) broadening of diffraction peaks… more

Thermo-Mechanical Processing and Advanced Charecterization of NiTi and NiTiHf Shape Memory Alloys

Description: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) represent a revolutionary class of active materials that can spontaneously generate strain based on an environmental input, such as temperature or stress. SMAs can provide potential solutions to many of today's engineering problems due to their compact form, high energy densities, and multifunctional capabilities. While many applications in the biomedical, aerospace, automotive, and defense industries have already been investigated and realized for nickel-titanium (Ni… more

Alloy Development and High-Energy X-Ray Diffraction Studies of NiTiZr and NiTiHf High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys

Description: NiTi-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a good combination of high-strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility that has served them well and attracted the attention of many researchers and industries. The alloys unique thermo-mechanical ability to recover their initial shape after relatively large deformations by heating or upon unloading due to a characteristic reversible phase transformation makes them useful as damping devices, solid state actuators, couplings, etc. H… more
