Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martensitic Transformation examines martensitic transformation based on the known crystallographical data. Topics covered range from the crystallography of martensite to the transformation temperature and rate of martensite formation. The conditions for martensite formation and stabilization of austenite are also discussed, along with the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformations. Comprised of six chapters, this book begins with an introduction to martensite and martensitic transformation, with emphasis on the basic properties of martensite in steels such as carbon steels. The next two chapters deal with the crystallography of martensite and discuss the martensitic transformation behavior of the second-order transition; lattice imperfections in martensite; and close-packed layer structures of martensites produced from ? phase in noble-metal-base alloys. Thermodynamical problems and kinetics are also analysed, together with conditions for the nucleation of martensite and problems concerning stabilization of austenite. The last chapter discusses the theory of the mechanism underlying martensitic transformation. This monograph will be of interest to metallurgists and materials scientists.

Book excerpt: Isothermal studies are described of the shape-recovery phenomenon, stress-strain behavior, electrical resistivity and thermo-electric power associated with the martensite-parent phase reaction in the Ni-Ti shape-memory alloys. The energy-balance equation that links the reaction kinetics with the strain energy change during the cooling-deforming and heating cycle is analyzed. The strain range in which the Clausius-Clapeyron equation satisfactorily describes this reaction is determined. A large change in the Young's modulus of the specimen is found to be associated with the M .-->. P reaction. A hysteresis loop in the resistivity-temperature plot is found and related to the anomaly in the athermal resistivity changes during cyclic M .-->. P .-->. M transformation. An explanation for the resistivity anomaly is offered. The M structure is found to be electrically negative relative to the P structure. A thermal emf of greater than or equal to 0.12 mV is found at the M-P interface.

Download or read book Stability and Optimization of P Phase Precipitates in Nickel titanium palladium Shape Memory Alloys written by Anne Catherine Coppa and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation for this research is the understanding of phase transformations that lead to an increase in the shape memory effect (SME) transformation temperature in a Ni-Ti-Pd shape memory alloy (SMA). The research addressed three major parts of this transformation - (1) The phase stability of the P-phase precipitate previously discovered with an emphasis on its stoichiometric limits by changing the Ni and Pd content with the Ti11(Ni, Pd)13 ratio; (2) The effects of P-phase precipitation on the martensitic transformation temperature in near-equiatomic Ti(Ni, Pd) alloys; and (3) The effects of dilute additions of Hf (0.1-1 at.%) to the precipitation and shape memory transformation temperature in Ni-Ti-Pd. P-phase stabilization: The compositional limits of the P-phase have been systematically studied by varying the Pd and Ni content in the P-phase's Ti11(Ni+Pd)13 stoichiometry. Each alloy was solutionized at 1050oC followed by water quenching, and aging at 400oC for 100 hours. Four distinct phases were identified - Ti2Pd3, B2 Ni-Ti, P- and P1-phases dependent on alloy composition - by electron and x-ray diffraction. The latter precipitate phases become more stable with increasing Ni at the expense of Pd content. Atom probe tomography revealed the P-phase composition to be 45.8Ti-29.2Ni-25Pd (at.%) or Ti11(Ni7Pd6) as compared to the P1-phase 44.7Ti- 45.8Ni-9.4Pd (at.%) or Ti5Ni5Pd. Optimization of P-phase precipitation: The effect of aging time and temperature on precipitation and subsequent martensitic transformation temperatures for a series of Ni-(50.5-49.2)Ti-32Pd (at.%) shape memory alloys has been studied. Structure-property relationships were developed through detailed microstructural characterization involving transmission electron microscopy, diffraction analysis, and atom probe tomography with links to microhardness measurements and transformation temperatures established by differential scanning calorimetry. The Ti-rich alloy contained relatively coarse Ti2Ni in a B19 matrix and had the highest martensitic transformation temperatures (Ms ~ 280°C) independent of aging condition. After aging, the two Ti-lean alloys contained P-phase precipitates in a B19 matrix. The increase in transformation temperature was associated with a near 50 at.% Ti composition in the matrix phase. Quaternary alloys addition to P-phase: The effect of Hf (0 - 1 at. %) additions in a Ni-Ti-Pd alloy on P-phase precipitation and martensitic transformations were studied. The addition of hafnium promoted an increase in strain within the matrix which resulted in the refinement of precipitates upon precipitation with a corresponding increase in number density. The overlapping strain fields of the precipitates created from the decrease in inter-precipitate spacing reduced the matrix volume to be less than the critical free volume size required for the martensitic transformation over the temperature range studied (183 K to 573 K), hence a deleterious suppression of the transformation temperature. Hafnium was also noted to delay the aging time to achieve peak hardness, suggesting a reduction in growth and coarsening kinetics.

Download or read book Effects of Thermo mechanical Treatment on the Shape Memory Behavior of NiTi and CoNiAl Alloys written by Haluk Ersin Karaca and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys have been the focus of extensive research due to its unique characteristics such as high recoverable strain and ductility. However, solutionized samples of NiTi do not demonstrate good shape memory characteristics due to low strength for dislocation slip. Thermo-mechanical treatments are required to strengthen the matrix and improve the shape memory characteristics. Plastic deformation and the subsequent annealing is the common way to improve shape memory properties. In this case, deformation magnitude, temperature, rate, mechanism, and annealing temperature and time are all important parameters for the final shape memory properties. Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is a well-known technique to severely deform materials by simple shear with no change in cross-section. In this study, Ti- 49.8 at% Ni samples are deformed by ECAE at three different temperatures near transformation temperatures. X-ray analysis, calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy and thermo-mechanical cycling techniques are utilized to investigate the effects of severe deformation and subsequent annealing treatment on shape memory properties. Martensite stabilization, formation of strain induced B2 phase, change in transformation temperatures, formation of new phases, recrystallization temperature, texture formation, and increase in strength and pseudoelastic strain are the main findings of this study. Co-32.9 at% Ni-29.5 at% Al is a newly found ferromagnetic alloy. Its low density, high melting temperature and cheap constituents make the alloy advantageous among other shape memory alloys. Although some magnetic properties of this alloy are known, there is no report on basic shape memory characteristics of CoNiAl. In this study, effect of thermo-mechanical treatments on the microstructure and shape memory characteristics such as transformation behavior, pseudoelasticity, stages of transformation, temperature dependence of the pseudoelasticity, response to thermal and stress cycling is investigated. Formation of second phase along the grain boundaries and inside the grains, about 4% pseudoelastic and two-way shape memory strain, very narrow stress hysteresis, large pseudoelastic window (>150ʻC), two-stage martensitic transformation, stable response to cyclic deformation, high strength for dislocation slip, slope of Clasius-Clapeyron curve, and twinning plane are determined for the first time in literature.

This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetism and Structure in Functional Materials addresses three distinct but related topics: (i) magnetoelastic materials such as magnetic martensites and magnetic shape memory alloys, (ii) the magnetocaloric effect related to magnetostructural transitions, and (iii) colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) and related manganites. The goal is to identify common underlying principles in these classes of materials that are relevant for optimizing various functionalities. The emergence of apparently different magnetic/structural phenomena in disparate classes of materials clearly points to a need for common concepts in order to achieve a broader understanding of the interplay between magnetism and structure in this general class of new functional materials exhibiting ever more complex microstructure and function. The topic is interdisciplinary in nature and the contributors correspondingly include physicists, materials scientists and engineers. Likewise the book will appeal to scientists from all these areas.
