Shape Memory effect and Superelasticity in the [001] Single crystals of a FeNiCoAlTa Alloy with gamma-alpha '-Thermoelastic Martensitic Transformations Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Using single crystals of a Fe - 28% Ni - 17% Co - 11.5% Al - 25% Ta (a{cyrillic}t.%) alloy, oriented for tensile loading along the [001] direction, the shape-memory (SME) and superelasticity (SE) effects caused by reversible thermoelastic martensitic transformations (MTs) from a high-temperature fcc-phase into a bctmartensite are investigated. It is demonstrated that the conditions necessary for the thermoelastic MTs to occur are achieved by aging at 973 K within the time interval (t) from 0.5 to 7.0 hours, which is accompanied by precipitation of the -phase particles, (FeNiCo)3(AlTa), whose d < 8-12 nm. When the size of the -precipitates becomes as large as d 8-12 nm, the MT becomes partially reversible. The physical causes underlying the kinetics of thermoelstic reversible fcc-bct MTs are discussed. 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
