Physical And Mechanical Characteristics

In shape memory alloys (SMA), the texture can be an interesting factor influencing the anisotropic physical and mechanical characteristics during the phase transformations. It is well known that the texture significantly influences the stress-strain curve and shape memory strain of NiTi SMA. The aim of the present experiment was to analyze the textural modifications in the Ti-rich Ni-Ti SMA after annealing at moderate (500°C for 30 min) and subsequent low level of cold work reduction (10% thickness reduction). The textural results were obtained by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) during thermal cycling in three points: (i) at room temperature (B19’ phase, after cold work), (ii) at 180°C (B2 phase), and (iii) at room temperature (B19’ phase, after cooling from 180°C). The phase transformations were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and XRD.

AbstractA survey by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and recovery during heating of indentations on a series of nickel-aluminum alloys showed that the Ni-36 at.% Al composition has the best potential for a recoverable shape memory effect at temperatures above 100°C. The phase transformations were studied by high temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by high temperature x-ray diffraction (HTXRD). Quenching from 1200°C resulted in a single phase, fully martensitic structure. The initial quenched-in martensites were found by both TEM and X-ray diffraction to consist of primarily a body centered tetragonal (bct) phase with some body centered orthorhombic (bco) phase present. On the first heating cycle, DSC showed an endothermic peak at 121°C and an exothermic peak at 289°C, and upon cooling a martensite exothermic peak at 115° C. Upon subsequent cycles the 289°C peak disappeared. High temperature X-ray diffraction, with a heating rate of 2°C/min, showed the expected transformation of bct phase to B2 between 100 and 200°C, however the bco phase remained intact. At 400 to 450°C the B2 phase transformed to Ni2Al and Ni5Al3. During TEM heating experiments a dislocation-free martensite transformed reversibly to B2 at temperatures less than 150°C. At higher temperatures (nearly 600°C) 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 reflections from an ω-like phase formed. Upon cooling, the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 reflections disappeared and a more complicated martensite resulted. Boron additions suppressed intergranular fracture and, as expected, resulted in no ductility improvements. Boron additions and/or hot extrusion encouraged the formation of a superordered bct structure with 1/2, 1/2, 0 reflections.

AbstractConventionally cast and hot-rolled Ni-Fe-AI-B alloys containing 4-20 at.% Fe, 23.9- 31.5 at.% Al, and 300 wppm B were investigated in this study. After oil quenching from 1300°C, all the alloys—except SMA-15 (27A1-14Fe)—have at least a two-phase microstructure, one phase of which is martensite with the characteristic plate morphology, and the other a globular second phase distributed throughout the microstructure. The amount of second phase generally increases with increasing Fe content. Alloys containing less than 14% Fe were found to be quite brittle at room temperature, indicating that a ductile second phase is at least partly responsible for the improved room-temperature ductility in the high-Fe alloys. The best tensile ductility (12%) was obtained in SMA-17 (23.9AI-20Fe) which was shown by X-ray diffraction to consist of 40% (mostly disordered) fcc [(Ni,Fe)3 (AI,Fe)] + 30% (partly ordered) bct martensite + 30% B2. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that the transformation temperatures for this alloy were MP = 65°C and AP = 95°C. Room-temperature tensile strains of 2-3% could be almost completely recovered in SMA-17 by heating for 3 min. at 600°C with the load removed. Upon subsequent cycling (i.e., strain-anneal cycling), the amount of strain recovery increased dramatically from 70% in the first cycle to nearly 100% after 4-5 cycles, indicating that cold work may help in improving the shape memory characteristics of this alloy. SMA-15 was found to have significantly higher transformation temperatures (Mp = 143°C and Ap = 170°C) than SMA-17; however, it is relatively brittle compared to SMA-17.

Diffraction Patterns

An x-ray diffraction study of the reversible deformation inodes associated with the shape memory effect has been carried out on a series of uranium-niobium alloys near the monotectoid composition (6.2 wt. % Nb). Diffraction patterns were measured as a function of strain, in situ, while the specimens were under stress as part of an attempt to explain the “easy-flow”, low-strain plateau in the stress-strain curve. The alloys, consisting of highly twinned, metastable α” (monoclinic) and γ° (tetragonal) phases derived from the high-temperature BCC γ phase, produced broad, overlapping diffraction lines difficult to analyze by conventional techniques. One solution to this problem was to use a segmented step-scan technique so as to apportion the scan time to concentrate on the most difficult regions. This paper discusses data obtained from an α” alloy and a dual-phase α” + γ° alloy.

Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

The influences of Gd concentration on martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of NiMnIn alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and etc. It shows that addition of Gd enhances martensite transition temperature and that X-ray diffraction analysis of experimental alloys is revealed which the mixture is martensite and austenite at room temperature. These alloys show promise as a metamagnetic shape memory alloy with magnetic-field-induced shape memory effect.

AbstractThe reversible transformations between the Austenite (A) and Martensite (M) phases of NITI shape memory wires having a 78°C austenlte finish temperature (950°C annealed) were studied In the cold work and heat treatment ranges between 14 to 62% and 400 to 525°C respectively. The ranges of peak Transformation Temperatures (TI), determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) at a 10°C/min rate, were found to be 56 to 75°C, -28 to 33°C, and 38 to 52°C for the respective high temperature A, low temperature M, and the Intermediate Rhombohedral (R) phases. The degree of cold work and heat treatment had significant effects on the TT of NITI wires. The peak TT of A and M decreases with Increasing cold work. Except for the 14% cold worked wires, the peak TT Increases with Increasing heat treatment temperature for M, and Increases with Increasing heat treatment temperature for A for temperatures higher than 450°C. The peak IT of R Increases with Increasing cold work and decreasing heat treat temperature.Using MoKα radiation, transmission x-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to determine the phases at room temperature on wires thinned down to 0.05 to 0.01 mm in diameter. The diffraction patterns of body-centered cubic austenite (132) and monodlinic martenslte (B19) for NITi were both Identified. In addition, extra diffraction lines observed for various samples were tentatively assigned to M and the Intermediate R-phase. Depending on the thermal history and the processing conditions, the NITI wires consist of either a pure M, a mixture of A and R, or a mixture of A, R, and M at room temperature.

Microstructure evolution of high energy milled Al-50wt%Si alloy during heat treatment at different temperature was studied. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the size of the alloy powders decreased with increasing milling time. The observable coarsening of Si particles was not seen below 730°C in the high energy milled alloy, whereas, for the alloy prepared by mixed Al and Si powders, the grain growth occurred at 660°C. The activation energy for the grain growth of Si particles in the high energy milled alloy was determined as about 244 kJ/mol by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data analysis. The size of Si particles in the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy prepared by high energy milled powders was 5-30 m at 700°C, which was significantly reduced compared to that of the original Si powders. Thermal diffusivity of the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy was 55 mm2/s at room temperature which was obtained by laser method.

Lipid Microparticles

Solid lipid microparticles produced with a mixture of cupuacu butter and stearic acid were used to microencapsulate a commercial casein hydrolysate (Hyprol 8052). The composition of the lipid matrix used for the production of the lipid microparticles was chosen according to data on the wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of bulk lipid mixtures, which indicated that the presence of 10 % cupuacu butter was sufficient to significantly change the crystalline arrangement of pure stearic acid. Preliminary tests indicated that a minimum proportion of 4 % of surfactant (polysorbate 80) was necessary to produce empty spherical lipid particles with average diameters below 10 mm. The lipid microparticles were produced using 20 % cupuacu butter and 80 % stearic acid and then stabilized with 4 % of polysorbate 80, exhibiting an encapsulation efficiency of approximately 74 % of the casein hydrolysate. The melting temperature of the casein hydrolysate-loaded lipid microparticles was detected at 65.2 °C, demonstrating that the particles were solid at room temperature as expected and indicating that the incorporation of peptides had not affected their thermal behavior. After 25 days of storage, however, there was a release of approximately 30 % of the initial amount of encapsulated casein hydrolysate. This release was not thought to have been caused by the liberation of encapsulated casein hydrolysate. Instead, it was attributed to the possible desorption of the adsorbed peptides present on the surface of the lipid microparticles.
