Alloy Design and Microstructural Control in Ductile Cn-Al-Mn-based Shape Memory Alloys
Alloy design and microstructural control in ductile Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys are presented. The cold-workability is improved by control of the degree of order in the bcc β phase, and Cu-Al-Mn alloys with 17 at%Al show good cold-workability and shape memory (SM) properties, which strongly depend on the microstructure. In particular, an excellent superelastic strain of over 7%, which is much greater than that of other Cu-base SM alloys and comparable to Ti-Ni SM alloys, is obtained in the Cu-Al-Mn-Ni alloys by microstructural control of the recrystallization texture. On the other hand, a decrease in the relative grain size results in good fatigue property, enabling cyclic uses of superelasticity in practical applications.
