Aims of this study are to clarify the shape recovery characteristics on ferrous shape memory alloy in order to utilize one as a many kinds of mechanical components. In this study, Fe-Mn-Si-Cr shape memory alloy is used. The fundamental characteristics and the shape recovery characteristics are investigated in this alloy. From the result of this investigation, shape recovery strain without training process reaches to maximum value of 2% at the amount of 5∼7% work-strain. That with the training process reaches 3.5% in the maximum, which is 1.8 times of that without training process. In addition, the shape recovery characteristic under constant stress which is given during the heating process is investigated. The microstructure of the deformed material is observed. The Widmanstatten structure is generated. This structure is attributed to the transformation from austenite to ε-martensite. In order to enable the prediction analysis of the shape recovery behavior, the relationship between shape recovery strain and work-strain is formulated by the regression analysis in cubic equation.

Effects of single- and multi-step aging on mechanical properties and shape memory properties of Ti-6Mo-8Al (mol%) biomedical shape memory alloy were studied using tensile tests at room temperature (RT). The solution-treated alloy at RT was two phase of bcc β and martensite α". Tensile tests revealed that the solution-treated alloy exhibited good shape memory effect. As for the single-step aging, (1) pseudoelastic shape recovery by unloading was observed after aging at 623K, (2) the alloy became brittle after aging at 773K due to ω embrittlement, and (3) strength was improved with small shape memory effect by aging at 1023K. On the other hand, after a multistep aging at 773K-1023K-1123K, the alloy was strengthened and showed perfect shape recovery. The improvement must be achieved by the formation of fine and uniform hcp α precipitates.
