Abstract
In this work, Ni49.6Ti45.4Ta5 alloy sheets with a mixed grain structure (mostly nanocrystals) were prepared by pack rolling and post-deformation annealing. This alloy exhibits considerable superelastic property (recoverable strain, εR ≥ 5.38 %) and elastocaloric effect (adiabatic temperature change, ΔTad ≥ 11.1 K) above 363 K. Under a pre-strain of 6 %, εR and ΔTad at 363 K are 5.87 % and 11.3 K respectively, which keep almost unchangeable during cyclic tensile deformation. Large and stable superelasticity and elastocaloric effect at high temperature can be attributed to the strengthening effect of nanocrystalline structure (nano-sized single-variant martensite and finer austenite). This characteristic makes the studied Ni49.6Ti45.4Ta5 alloy more suitable for high-temperature applications as compared to the conventional NiTi binary alloy.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
