High temperature internal friction in a Ti–46Al–1Mo–0.2Si intermetallic, comparison with creep behaviour
(Elsevier, 2016-01-15)
Advanced gamma-TiAl based intermetallics Mo-bearing have been developed to obtain the fine-grained microstructure required for superplastic deformation to be used during further processing. In the present work we have ...
Stress-assisted atomic diffusion in metastable austenite D03 phase of Cu-Al-Be shape memory alloys
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016-11)
Cu-Al-based shape memory alloys are firm candidates to be used up to 473 K. The main limiting aspect is the activation of diffusion processes in the metastable austenite phase, which drive the alloy decomposition. In the ...
Superelastic damping at nanoscale in ternary and quaternary Cu-based shape memory alloys
(Elsevier, 2021-11-25)
Superelasticity is a characteristic thermomechanical property in shape memory alloys (SMA), which is due to a reversible stress-induced martensitic transformation. Nano-compression experiments made possible the study of ...
Universal Scaling Law for the Size Effect on Superelasticity at the Nanoscale Promotes the Use of Shape‐Memory Alloys in Stretchable Devices
(Wiley, 2020-02)
Shape-memory alloys (SMAs) are the most stretchable metallic materials thanks to their superelastic behavior associated with the stress-induced martensitic transformation. This property makes SMAs of potential interest for ...
The Influence of Thermal History on the Multistage Transformation of NiTi Shape-Memory Alloys
(MDPI, 2018-04)
The multistage martensitic phase transformation of a polycrystalline NiTi shape-memory alloy (50.3 at. %Ni-49.7 at. % Ti) has been studied by means of calorimetric measurements. After a conventional thermal treatment ...
Strain Relaxation in Cu-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys Studied by in Situ Neutron Diffraction Experiments
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-02-28)
In situ neutron diffraction is used to study the strain relaxation on a single crystal and other powdered Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) around martensitic transformation temperatures. This work is focused on the ...
Ultrahigh Superelastic Damping at the Nano-Scale: a Robust Phenomenon to Improve Smart MEMS Devices
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Micro and nano pillars of Copper-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) with feature sizes between about 2 mu m and 250 nm are known to exhibit ultra-high mechanical damping due to the nucleation and motion of stress-induced ...
Designing for Shape Memory in Additive Manufacturing of Cu–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloy Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion
(MDPI, 2022-09-09)
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are functional materials that are being applied in practically all industries, from aerospace to biomedical sectors, and at present the scientific and technologic communities are looking to gain ...
Studying the influence of substitutional elements on mechanical behavior of Alloy 718
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In nickel-based superalloys, substitutional solute species have a strong impact on in service mechanical properties as well as on oxidation and corrosion resistances. In alloy 718, recent studies carried out by tensile ...
Ni–Ti-Hf High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloy: Measure of the Clausius-Clapeyron Coefficient Through Mechanical Spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021-03-05)
The martensitic transformation of Ni49.5Ti35.5Hf15 high temperature shape memory alloy is characterized by internal friction measurements. The temperatures for the reversible B2 <-> B19' transformation appear in the range ...
