in this work, nanostructured niti shape memory alloy with equal atomic percentage was produced through mechanical alloying. the result exhibited that after 60 h of mechanical alloying of high purity elemental powder mixtures of nickel and titanium by a planetary high-energy ball mill, the ti dissolved into ni lattice and niti (b2) phase with was obtained. the xrd investigations, sem observation...

In the framework of theory diffuse martensitic transitions to be based on thermodynamic and kinetic relationships mechanism magnetocaloric (MC) effect in shape memory ferromagnetic alloy crystals is theoretically analysed. The adequately describes magnetostructural transformations MC these at adiabatically applying them eliminating from magnetic field. analysis also includes magneto-anisotropic...

medical staples are one of the nitinol shape memory alloys applications which their pedicles have to be bent for suitable function with an appropriate angle at a specified temperature .it is achievable by shape memory effect. for this purpose, samples of nitinol super elastic alloys were bent in a steel mold with different angles & formed orthopedic staples. then shape memory effect was ind...

General thermo-mechanical behavior of composites reinforced by shape memory alloy fibers is predicted using a three-dimensional analytical micromechanical method to consider the effect of fibers activation. Composite due to the micromechanical method can be exposed to general normal and shear mechanical and thermal loading which cause to activate the shape memory alloy fibers within polymeric m...

This paper intends to review the state-of-the-art in the field of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys different than Ni–Mn–Ga, developed in the ast years. It starts with the effects of additions of different fourth elements to Ni–Mn–Ga and continues with the review of other Heusler (or B2) i-based and Co-based alloy systems, like Ni–Mn–X, Ni–Fe–Ga, Co–Ni–Al and Co–Ni–Ga alloys. Finally, ferromagn...

Magnetic domain configurations in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni2MnGa are analyzed by means of Lorentz microscopy and noninterferometric phase reconstruction methods. Domain structures in the cubic phase consist of cross-tie walls in the thinnest portions of the foil, and more complex configurations in thicker regions. At low temperature, the magnetization configurations change as the ...
