THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF A Cu-Zn-Al SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY
WITH A SINGLE-INTERFACE TRANSFORMATION

Abstract: The stress-induced martensitic transformation with a single interface in a single
crystal of the Cu-Zn-Al alloy is
investigated. The transformation with entry two once more as for the usual betta-18R transformation starts as a
martensitic band nucleation after the critical barrier surmounting. The
thermoelastic equilibrium after the band nucleation is not reached. Therefore
the subsequent martensitic deformation accompanies with a continuous
stress-drop at a constant temperature (pseudoelasticity) or with a temperature
increesing at a constant load (shape memory). The transformation has a very
narrow hysteresis about 1 K.
Introduction: The martensitic transformation with a single interface is a case investigated by that no
elastic energy should be saved and no transformation thermoelasticity is
expected. The last means that the martensite and therefore martensitic
deformation increases with the temperature decreasing or stress increasing.
But there is no clear definition what is a transformation with a single interface
as an investigation object: microscopical growth of one of the more isolated,
not interacted martensitic plate that is to macroscopical behaviour of the
specimen integrated or real the nucleation and growth of the single martensit crystal that defines one to one the
macroscopical characteristics martensit fraction, marten?sitic deformation
etc.
The results of microscopical observations show either no dependence of the
interface position change on the temperature or a light slope of that, whereas
macroscopical properties are not investigated. More investigations of the pseudoelastic
behaviour correspon?ding to the transformations with a single interface shown
the unloading of samples during the martensitic deformation after the critical stress.
It has been also shown theoretical from the analysis of a nucleation kinetics and
a kinetical relation for the quasi-static stress induced martensitic
transformation with a single interface that the load drops after nucleation at
a defined rates ratio of the loading and the interface motion.
On the other hand the thermodynamical treatment of martensitic multi-interface
transformations and pseudoelasticity give a stress-strain line with a
negative slope and a strain-temperature line with a positive slope that corresponds
to an instable two-phase equilibrium.
Experimentally this line is found in partial cycles, whereas the martensitic deformation depends
not on the load. There is not a talk of thermoelasticity in this theory,
because the elastic coherent interface energy is relevant to the hysteresis,
and it follows that one is narrow for the transformation with a single interface.
In this paper are investigated the thermodynamical and kinetical characteristics
of the stress-induced martensitic transformation, its hyste?resis and
corresponded shape-memory and pseudoelastic behaviour in the alloy, which is
also investigated in the case of a multi-interface transformation.
Investigation of these transformation corresponded properties could be very interesting for
the practical purposes because close temperature and stress intervalls are
required for the certain applications of the memory elements.
Conclusion: The macroscopical behaviour corresponded to the single-interface transformation and
its kinetics have been investigated with the following results:
1. The stress induced single-interface transformation needs for its nucleation a
higher shear stress and the formation of 18R phase twins.
2. The stress-temperature dependence of both are distingished in a slope about two
times as it is found in other cases of single-interface transformations.
3. The transformation has no thermoelastic character and is determined as a local
transformation.
