Theory of Martensitic Microstructure and the Shape-memory Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter describes a theory of martensitic microstructure. The theory explains why martensites form microstructure and describes how this microstructure depends, often delicately, on the crystalline symmetry and the lattice parameters. The shape-memory e ect is analyzed with this theory and it is shown that only very special materials { those that satisfy signi cant restrictons on their symmery and lattice parameters { can display this e ect.

Effect of the Primary Microstructures during Training Producers on TWSME in NiTi Alloys (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The influence of the martensitic, martensitic+austenitic and austenitic structures in bending training on two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) in Ni-50.8 at %Ti and Ni-49.9 at %Ti alloys was studied. In addition of the primary structure, the effect of pre-strain, plastic strain, training cycle and training temperature on the TWSME was investigated. The prepared samples were trained in martensiti...
متن کاملAn alternative way to orient the parent phase in the cubic/orthorhombic martensitic transformation of titanium shape memory alloys
Titanium-based shape memory alloys undergo a cubic to orthorhombic martensitic transformation (β to α’’ martensite). A new easy way operating as a reconstruction of the parent microstructure is used from electron backscattered diffraction. It is shown that the electron backscattered patterns of the martensitic microstructure can be directly indexed as the parent phase in order to obtain the cor...
متن کاملShape memory alloy nanostructures with coupled dynamic thermo-mechanical effects
Employing the Ginzburg-Landau phase-field theory, a new coupled dynamic thermo-mechanical 3D model has been proposed for modeling the cubic-to-tetragonal martensitic transformations in shape memory alloy (SMA) nanostructures. The stress-induced phase transformations and thermo-mechanical behavior of nanostructured SMAs have been investigated. The mechanical and thermal hysteresis phenomena, loc...
متن کاملShape Memory Properties in Cu-Zn-Al Alloy
In this research a Cu-Zn-Al alloy is produced by melting the raw materials in an electric resistance furnace and then pouring it into a steel mould. The optimum way to achieve the final analysis in the hypo-eutectoid range is determined and the influence of the alloying element, Ti on the grain size and the shape memory properties of the samples are investigated. Solution treatment (done at 850...
متن کاملA micromechanics-inspired constitutive model for shape-memory alloys
This paper presents a three-dimensional constitutive model for shape-memory alloys that generalizes the one-dimensional model presented earlier (Sadjadpour and Bhattacharya 2007 Smart Mater. Struct. 16 S51–62). These models build on recent micromechanical studies of the underlying microstructure of shape-memory alloys, and a key idea is that of an effective transformation strain of the martensi...
