Martensitic Transformation and Its Thermal Cycling Stability in Ni56Mn21Cu4Ga19 High-Temperature Shape Memory Ribbon

doi:10.1007/s40195-014-0190-8

Abstract

Abstract:

The microstructure, martensitic transformation, and thermal cycling stability of Ni₅₆Mn₂₁Cu₄Ga₁₉ high-temperature shape memory ribbons subjected to different annealing conditions were investigated and compared with that of the bulk master alloy. It was shown that γ phases precipitated in the bulk and the ribbons annealed for 5 h at 800 and 900 °C, which lead to the same poor thermal cycling stability. However, the formation of γ phase was inhibited in the ribbons annealed at 700 °C for 30 min and 5 h, which remarkably improved the thermal cycling stability and also shifted the martensitic transformation to a lower temperature with a drop of about 60 °C than other three samples.

Key words: Ni-Mn-Cu-Ga, Annealing, Melt spinning, Martensitic transformation, Shape memory alloy
