Abstract: Three kind of shape memory-alloys (SMA?s) - single crystals Cu-Al-X
(X=Zn, Mn, Ni), and MnCu as well as TiNi-polycristals -
have been investigated dilatometrically in the temperature interval of martensitic
transformations. Three kind of length change (or coefficients of the linear
thermal expansion) have been thereby found in the two phase temperature range:
sample shorting during the direct transformation and sample
lengthening during the reverse transformation or visa versa, as well as the
both cases during both direct and reverse transformations. The spontaneous
sample deformation during the stress-free martensitic transformation differs in
different SMA from each other up to one order of magnitude, but suits in all
cases in elastic deformation region.
The dilatation effects are considered as a result of a non-complete accommodation of the
martensitic lattice deformation under the elasticity limit (yield) by various
accommodation mechanisms. On that basis an accommodation degree as a relation
of the measured spontaneous deformation to the martensitic deformation
experimental measured by stress-induced transformation is introduced. Its
values were calculated for all investigated SMA-samples: they lie in an interval
from 75% up to 99%.
The thermal expansion of SMA in the
temperature interval of martensitic transformations is analysed and discussed
on the basis of physical, thermodynamical and crystallographical aspects of martensitic
transformations in SMA?s.
The width extension of the thermal
hysteresis loops depending on the scanning rate is also investigated dilatometrically,
and a physical limiting of the work-frequency of SMA-actuators is proved and discussed.
