Abstract
With the rapid development of aerospace, automotive, energy exploration, and mechanotronics, higher requirements are put forward for high-temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) as solid-state actuators or superelastic components. Here, we developed a Ni-Mn-Ga-B-Ce HTSMA microwire with an oligocrystalline structure fabricated by Taylor-Ulitovsky method, exhibiting large tensile superelasticity with a recoverable strain up to 9.2 % at 803 K, which is the highest superelastic temperature under tension reported up to now. Owing to the existence of a face-centered cubic (FCC) structured precipitation and a semi-coherent interface between FCC and NM martensite phases, as well as the microstructure of oligocrystalline, the microwire showed excellent superelasticity from 623 K to 803 K. Meanwhile, the microwire also showed excellent cyclic stability during 601 cycles of loading and unloading at 673 K. Combined with easy-fabricated and low cost of raw materials, the microwire shows a high potential in the field of high-temperature actuation and sensing.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
