Martensite Structure

Effect of Ta-alloying on microstructure, martensitic transformation, mechanical property and shape memory effect of Ni54Mn25Ga17.5Ta0.5 alloy has been systematically investigated. The results show that the substructure of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy significantly changed, which was converted from the plate martensite to the lath martensite. Compression tests show that a compressive strength of 1380 MPa with a fracture strain up to 21.92% can be achieved in the Ni54Mn25Ga17.5Ta0.5 alloy at room temperature. This is no changed martensite structure with non-modulated T martensite. In addition, the martensitic transition temperature obviously decreases from 350 °C to 208 °Cand hysteresis loop increases about 20 °Cwhen Ta substituted of Ni. The shape memory effect increased with the increase of pre-deformation, nevertheless, the shape recovery ratio appeared firstly increases and then decreases. When the pre-deformation is 10%, 15%, 20%, the shape memory effect of the alloy is 5.1%, 6.8% and 10%, respectively.

Triple Helices

Shape-memory hydrogels (SMH) are multifunctional, actively-moving polymers of interest in biomedicine. In loosely crosslinked polymer networks, gelatin chains may form triple helices, which can act as temporary net points in SMH, depending on the presence of salts. Here, we show programming and initiation of the shape-memory effect of such networks based on a thermomechanical process compatible with the physiological environment. The SMH were synthesized by reaction of glycidylmethacrylated gelatin with oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) α,ω-dithiols of varying crosslinker length and amount. Triple helicalization of gelatin chains is shown directly by wide-angle X-ray scattering and indirectly via the mechanical behavior at different temperatures. The ability to form triple helices increased with the molar mass of the crosslinker. Hydrogels had storage moduli of 0.27–23 kPa and Young’s moduli of 215–360 kPa at 4 °C. The hydrogels were hydrolytically degradable, with full degradation to water-soluble products within one week at 37 °C and pH = 7.4. A thermally-induced shape-memory effect is demonstrated in bending as well as in compression tests, in which shape recovery with excellent shape-recovery rates Rr close to 100% were observed. In the future, the material presented here could be applied, e.g., as self-anchoring devices mechanically resembling the extracellular matrix.

Shape Memory Polyurethane

The relationship of annealing and shape memory effect of uniaxially oriented shape memory polyurethane was studied; meanwhile a new method of adjusting shape recovery ratio by annealing was proposed for further consideration. Experiments were designed to compare the influence on length change from annealing and shape memory effect with shape memory polyurethane film at 65°C. We found that for shape memory polyurethane which had residual strain from material processing procedure, annealing and shape memory effect have the same effect on its length change if they are both carried out at the same temperature. It is because annealing and shape memory effect have the same mechanism, which is the change of state from low conformational entropy states to the recovery of a stable high entropy state in the polymer. Moreover, it is proved by experiment that shape recovery ratio of shape memory polyurethane can be adjusted by annealing.

Using Ti-40mass%Ta-0, -4, -8 and -12mass%Sn alloys, the effect of Sn addition on phase constitution in the solution treated and quenched state and isochronal heat treatment behavior is studied by electrical resistivity and Vickers hardness measurements and X-ray diffactometry. To confirm shape memory effect of some of these alloys, shape-recovery test was also performed. Orthorhombic martensite, ” was identified in Ti-40Sn-0 to 8Sn alloy quenched from 1173K, while phase was identified in STQed Ti-40Ta-12Sn alloy. On isochronal heat treatment, increases of resistivity at LN and resistivity ratio were observed in only 8Sn alloy, because these increases are due to reverse-transformation of ” to phase. From result of shape recovery test, shape memory effect was observed in Ti-40Ta-4 and 8Sn alloys

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.

Microscopic Scale

Shape memory alloys exhibit a peculiar property, shape memory effect that is the result from the structural changes in microscopic scale. These alloys return to previously defined shapes when they are subjected to variation of temperature after deformation of the low temperature phase. Shape-memory effect is based on martensitic transformation, with which the material changes its internal crystalline structure. The ordered structure or super lattice structure is essential for the shape memory effect of the material. Copper based alloys exhibit this property in the β-phase field, which possesses the simple bcc-structure at high temperature austenite phase. As the temperature is lowered, austenite phase undergoes martensitic transition following two ordering reactions, and microstructural changes in microscopic scale govern this transition. In the present work, Cu alloys were investigated by transmission electron microscope, TEM, and x-ray diffraction techniques.

Shape Memory Behavior

Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) was synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and the shape memory behavior was studied using DSC and bending test experiments. The results indicate that the specimen shows the shape memory effect (SME), the small crystalline phase of PLLA and the mobility of amorphous phase may be responsible for the SME. The shape recovery of samples decreases and approaches to steady with the testing number increases.

Owing to the world population aging, biomedical materials, such as shape memory alloys (SMAs) have attracted much attention. The biocompatible Ti–Au–Ta SMAs, which also possess high X–ray contrast for the applications like guidewire utilized in surgery, were studied in this work. The alloys were successfully prepared by physical metallurgy techniques and the phase constituents, microstructures, chemical compositions, shape memory effect (SME), and superelasticity (SE) of the Ti–Au–Ta SMAs were also examined. The functionalities, such as SME, were revealed by the introduction of the third element Ta; in addition, obvious improvements of the alloy performances of the ternary Ti–Au–Ta alloys were confirmed while compared with that of the binary Ti–Au alloy. The Ti3Au intermetallic compound was both found crystallographically and metallographically in the Ti–4 at.% Au–30 at.% Ta alloy. The strength of the alloy was promoted by the precipitates of the Ti3Au intermetallic compound. The effects of the Ti3Au precipitates on the mechanical properties, SME, and SE were also investigated in this work. Slight shape recovery was found in the Ti–4 at.% Au–20 at.% Ta alloy during unloading of an externally applied stress.

Shape Memory Behaviour

As known to all,shape memory behaviour has been observed in a variety of metallic alloys. This phenomenon, however, is not only observed in that field but also in other materials recently, such as in polymers,intermetallic compounds and ceramics, especially in zirconia ceramics.Swain [1] observed the shape recovery of a bent magnesia-partiallystabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) bar upon heating above a certain temperature. The maximum deflection which was nearly completely recovered on heating is about 300 μm.Chen et al [2] investigated the pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect (SME) in ceria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce- TZP) containing 12 mol% CeO2.Wang et al [3] also observed the SME in Ce-TZP containing 10 mol% CeO2,.Here we would like to introduce some of results conducted recently in our group on SHE in Ce-TZP ceramics.
