Isothermal compression of the TiNiFe shape memory alloy has been carried out on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine at the deformation temperature ranging from 1023K to 1323K, the strain rate ranging from 0.01s-1 to 10s-1 with total strain of 0.8. On the basis of dynamic material model, the processing map is established with two instability regions and a desirable domain which demonstrate optimum hot working conditions within the experimental parameters. By means of Electron Back Scattering Diffraction, we come to the conclusion that both dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization exist in the desirable domain with deformation temperature ranging 1123 K and strain rate 0.1s-1. The uneven deformation exits in the low deformation temperature with high strain rate area, such as 1023 K and10 s-1. And with 1323K and 0.01s-1 strain rate, the recrystallized grains are abnormal grow up.

The high temperature tensile behavior of Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy was investigated at deformation temperature of 400-520 °C and strain rate of 0.001-0.5 s-1, and the stress-strain curves were obtained by using INSTRON 3382. The high temperature tensile constitutive model and hot processing map of the alloy were established, and the reliability of the hot processing map was further verified by analyzing the microstructure of the deformed alloy. The results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred of Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy during the tensile tests under high temperature conditions, and its peak stress decreased with the increase of deformation temperature or strain rate. The Arrhenius equation can be used to fit the rheological behavior of the alloy. The thermal deformation activation energy Q was 259.13kJ/mol, and the maximum error between the model and the experimental data was less than 9%. It can be concluded that the optimum deformation parameters of the alloy were temperature of 500-520 °C and strain rate of 0.01-0.001 s-1 based on the dynamic material model and hot processing map.

The flow behavior of a new kind of high-strength nickel brass used as automobile synchronizer rings was investigated by hot compression tests with a Gleeble-3500 isothermal simulator at strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 10 s−1 and a wide deformation temperature range of 873–1073K at intervals of 50 K. The experimental results show that flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature, and discontinuous yielding appeared in the flow stress curves at higher strain rates. A modified Arrhenius constitutive model considering the compensation of strain was established to describe the flow behavior of this alloy. A processing map was also constructed with strain of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 based on the obtained experimental flow stress–strain data. In addition, the optical microstructure evolution and its connection with the processing map of compressed specimens are discussed. The predominant deformation mechanism of Cu-Ni-Al brass is dynamic recovery when the deformation temperature is lower than 973 K and dynamic recrystallization when the deformation temperature is higher than 973 K according to optical observation. The processing map provides the optimal hot working temperature and strain rate, which is beneficial in choosing technical parameters for this high-strength alloy.

The characteristic of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in Mg-Y-Nd-Gd-Zr magnesium alloy had been investigated by compression test at temperatures between 523 and 723K and the strain rates ranging from 0.002 to 1s-1with maximum strain of 0.693. The flow behavior was described by a power exponent function. Processing map of this alloy was established on the basis of dynamic material model. Microstructure observations suggested that the peak value of dissipation factor was 0.36 at the temperature of 673K and the strain rate of 1s-1. The map exhibits flow instabilities as two domains, one is at the lower temperatures but higher strain rates, and the other is at higher temperatures and lower strains.The region at an intermediate temperature and a high strain rate is the region of the optimal mechanical working properties.

Recently a ferrous-based Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Ta-0.05B (at.%) shape memory alloy (abbreviated NCATB) has attracted attention because of its huge superelasticity (~13%). In order to manufacture this alloy on a large scale, a deeper knowledge of the plastic deformation behaviour of the alloy is required. During hot deformation, temperature and strain rate exert significant effect on the mechanical properties. The main objective of the work, therefore, is to investigate the influence of deformation parameters, such as temperature, strain rate and strain, on flow behaviour of an NCATB shape memory alloy. Flow behaviour tests on an NCATB alloy were performed on a Gleeble-3800 thermomechanical simulator at deformation temperatures of 1100, 1150 and 1200°C and strain rates of 0.1, 1.0 and 10s-1 with the strains maintained at 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. The workpiece is considered asa dissipater of power, and the features of power dissipation will,therfore, be seen as changes in the microstructure. These features of power dissipation are measured by a parameter called efficiency of power dissipation (η). It is directly related to the strain rate sensitivity parameter(m). Taguchi method is used to evaluate the influence of deformation temperature, strain rate and strain on efficiency of power dissipation. Based on the results, optimum parameters for higher efficiency of power dissipation are: 1150°C (temperature), 0.1 s-1 (strain rate) and 0.2 (strain). An analysis of experimental results in terms of percentage contribution reveals that strain rate plays a more predominant role (39.73%) compared to temperature (24.03%) and strain (32.73%) on NCATB alloy.

High damping capacity is one of the prominent properties of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA), having applications in many engineering devices to reduce unwanted vibrations. Recent experiments demonstrated that, the hysteresis loop of the stress-strain curve of a NiTi strip/wire under a tensile loading-unloading cycle changed non-monotonically with the loading rate, i.e., a maximum damping capacity was obtained at an intermediate strain rate (ε.critical). This rate dependence is due to the coupling between the temperature dependence of material’s transformation stresses, latent-heat release/absorption in the forward/reverse phase transition and the associated heat exchange between the specimen and the environment. In this paper, a simple analytical model was developed to quantify these thermo-mechanical coupling effects on the damping capacity of the NiTi strips/wires under the tensile loading-unloading cycle. We found that, besides the material thermal/mechanical properties and specimen geometry, environmental condition also affects the damping capacity; and the critical strain rate ε.criticalfor achieving a maximum damping capacity can be changed by varying the environmental condition. The theoretical predictions agree quantitatively with the experiments.

In this work we derive a new version of generalized plasticity, suitable to describe phase transformations. In particular, we present a general multi surface formulation of the theory which is capable of describing the multiple and interacting loading mechanisms, which occur during phase transformations. The formulation relies crucially on the consideration of the intrinsic material (“physical”) metric as a primary internal variable and does not invoke any decomposition of the kinematical quantities into elastic and inelastic (transformation induced) parts. The new theory, besides its theoretical interest, is also important for application purposes such as the description and the prediction of the response of shape memory alloy materials. This is shown in the simplest possible setting by the introduction of a material model. The ability of the model in simulating several patterns of the experimentally observed behavior of these materials such as the pseudoelastic phenomenon and the shape memory effect is assessed by representative numerical examples.

Austenitic shape memory alloy has potential applications in self-centering seismic resistant structural systems due to its superelastic response under cyclic tension. Raw austenitic SMA needs proper pretreatments and pretraining to gain a stable superelastic property. In this paper, tests are carried out to investigate the effects of pretraining, pretreatments, loading rate, and strain amplitude on the mechanical performance on austenitic SMA rods with a given size. The tested rods are to be used in a new concept self-centering steel link beam. Customized pretraining scheme and heat treatment are determined through the tests. The effects of loading rate and strain amplitude are investigated. A simplified stress-strain model for the SMA rods oriented to numerical simulations is obtained based on the test results. An example of using the simplified material model in numerical analysis of a self-centering steel link beam is conducted to validate the applicability of the model.
