Martensitic Transformation and Microstructures in Sintered NiAl Alloys

Molecular dynamics simulation of the martensitic phase transformation in NiAl alloys.

Using molecular dynamics simulations with an embedded-atom interatomic potential, we study the effect of chemical composition and uniaxial mechanical stresses on the martensitic phase transformation in Ni-rich NiAl alloys. The martensitic phase has a tetragonal crystal structure and can contain multiple twins arranged in domains and plates. The transformation is reversible and is characterized ...

Martensitic Transformation in Microcrystalline Melt-Quenched Fe-Ni Alloys

The features of martensite transformation in Fe (31 32)% Ni melt-quenched alloys are considered. The meltquenching was realized by spinning technique with variable parameters. The influence of the melt-quenching on structural and kinetics transformation parameters is revealed. In particular Ms point is shown to decrease but volume percentage of athermal martensite is found to be invariable with...

EXAFS IN CuZn BRASS ALLOYS DURING MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATION

Isothermal martensitic transformation in metamagnetic shape memory alloys

We show that in metamagnetic shape memory alloys exhibiting a magnetostructural first order phase transition the direct transition from ferromagnetic austenite to nonmagnetic martensite is isothermal. In contrast to the direct transformation, the reverse one nonmagnetic martensite–ferromagnetic austenite is athermal, just as are athermal both direct and reverse martensitic transformations in co...

Martensitic Transformation in Ni-Mn-Sn-Co Heusler Alloys

Thermal and structural austenite to martensite reversible transition was studied in melt spun ribbons of Ni50Mn40Sn5Co5, Ni50Mn37.5Sn7.5Co5 and Ni50Mn35Sn10Co5 (at. %) alloys. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns confirms that all alloys have martensitic structure at room temperature: four layered orthorhombic 4O for Ni50Mn40Sn5Co5, four layered orthorhombic 4O and seven-layered monoclinic 14...
