Shape memory alloys (SMA) are metals which can restore their initial shape after having been subjected to a deformation. They exhibit in general both nonlinear shape memory and pseudoelastic effects. In this paper, shape memory alloy (SMA) and its constitutive model with an empirical kinetics equation are investigated. A new formulation to the martensite fraction-dependent Young modulus has been adopted and the plastic deformation was taken into account. To simulate the variations, a one-dimensional constitutive model was constructed based on the uniaxial tension features.

The technique of severe plastic deformation (SPD) enables one to produce metals and alloys with an ultrafine grain size of about 100 nm and less. As the mechanical properties of such ultrafine grained materials are governed by the plastic deformation during the SPD process, the understanding of the stress and strain development in a workpiece is very important for optimizing the SPD process design and for microstructural control. The objectives of this work is to present a constitutive model based on the dislocation density and dislocation cell evolution for large plastic strains as applied to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). This paper briefly introduces the constitutive model and presents the results obtained with this model for ECAP by the finite element method.

Effect of thermal cycling(γ↔ε) on γ→ε martensitic transformation kinetics and damping capacity of Fe-17mass%Mn alloy has been studied. The amount of ε martensite increases with thermal cycling in spite of decrease in Ms temperature. The increase in ε martensite content with thermal cycling is attributable to an increase in the density of martensite nucleation sites by introduction of dislocations during thermal cycling. The γ→ε martensitic transformation kinetics shows a burst mode in the non-cycled specimen, while the kinetics exhibits a sigmoidal mode in the cycled specimens. The damping capacity of the alloy increases with increasing the ε martensite content in the non-cycled specimen. On the contrary, the damping capacity of the alloy decreases with increasing the ε martensite content in the cycled specimens. The reason is that the dislocations introduced during thermal cycling, which obstruct the movement of the damping sources, become more with thermal cycling.

The effects of tensile deformation on the amount of hcp phase formed during a 3 hour isothermal aging at 800 °C is studied using in-situ X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that the start of the isothermal martensitic transformation during aging of this material is delayed by prior plastic deformation. Nevertheless, the total amount of hcp phase present in the microstructure at the beginning of aging increases at a continuously decreasing rate due to stress-assisted transformation. This behavior is attributed to the relieving of internal stresses produced by plastic deformation prior to aging. Finally, during the last stage of aging, the amount of hcp phase in the microstructure increases as a result of isothermal martensitic transformation. It is suggested that the presence of mechanically-induced hcp phase during aging inhibits the thermally activated nucleation process that leads to the isothermal martensitic transformation.
