The methods of electron microscopy, resistometry and magnetometry are used to study ten (36-38)Co - (32-36)Ni - (27-30)Al (at. %) alloys. Cast coarse-crystalline and microcrystalline alloys made by melt spinning in a helium atmosphere are considered. It is shown that the martensite start temperature Ms becomes 30-50°C lower as grains are refined to 1 m m. Replacement of 1 at. % cobalt by nickel and 1 at. % aluminum by nickel makes the temperature interval of the В2«L10 martensite transformation (30-60)°C and (100-110)°C higher respectively. The martensite transformation hysteresis is about 100 degrees. The melt-spun Co38Ni34Al28 alloy with the transformation temperatures Мs = 31°С, Мf = –34°С, Аs = –6°С, Аf = 70°С and Тс = 98°С is a material possessing the magnetically controlled shape memory effect.

At room temperature, Fe-15Mn-5Si-9Cr-5Ni alloys are usually austenitic and the application of a stress induces a reversible martensitic transformation leading to a shape memory effect (SME). However, when a ribbon of this material is obtained by melt-spinning, the rapid solidification stabilizes a high-temperature ferritic phase. The goals of this work were to find the appropriate heat treatment in order to recover the equilibrium austenitic phase, characterize the ribbon form of this material and evaluate its shape memory behaviour. We found that annealing at 1050°C for 60 min, under a protective argon atmosphere, followed by a water quenching stabilizes the austenite to room temperature. The yield stress, measured by tensile tests, is 250 MPa. Shape-memory tests show that a strain recovery of 55% can be obtained, which is enough for certain applications.

AbstractThis paper summarizes our recent study of NiAI+Fe+B alloy ribbons containing 4 to 20% Fe and doped with 300 wt ppm B. Alloy ribbons were successfully fabricated by rapid solidification via melt spinning. The alloys with 8% Fe and 34% Al-equivalent [=Al%+(Fe%)/2] showed the best bend ductility at room temperature. The ribbons exhibited a reversible martensite (body-centered orthorombic structure) to B2 transformation as evidenced by DSC, X-ray and TEM studies. The shape-memory effect, as characterized by measuring the recovery of bend angles with temperature, is sensitive to alloy composition, with the best recovery observed in SMA-15 (B-doped Ni-27% Al-14% Fe). Annealing at 600°C causes aging embrittlement; in particular, in alloys containing 12% Fe.

One-dimensional shape memory polymer fibers (SMPFs) have obvious advantages in mechanical properties, dispersion properties, and weavability. In this work, a method for fabricating semi-crystallization ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) fiber with two-way shape memory effect by melt spinning and ultraviolet (UV) curing was developed. Here, the effect of crosslink density on its performance was systematically analyzed by gel fraction measurement, tensile tests, DSC, and TMA analysis. The results showed that the crosslink density and shape memory properties of EVA fiber could be facilely adjusted by controlling UV curing time. The resulting EVA fiber with cylindrical structure had a diameter of 261.86 ± 13.07 μm, and its mechanical strength and elongation at break were 64.46 MPa and 114.33%, respectively. The critical impact of the crosslink density and applied constant stress on the two-way shape memory effect were analyzed. Moreover, the single EVA fiber could lift more than 143 times its own weight and achieve 9% reversible actuation strain. The reversible actuation capability was significantly enhanced by a simple winding design of the single EVA fiber, which provided great potential applications in smart textiles, flexible actuators, and artificial muscles.
