| Research Abstract |
Although Cu-base shape memory alloys (SMA) have the large potential to be used as new functional materials owing to a lower price compared with that of the Ni-Ti SMA, the application seems to be limited by the reason that ordinary polycrystalline materials have a rather low ductility in case of a coarse grain structure, which may be an inherent property of these alloy systems.
The present investigation has been carried out to improve a ductility in Cu-Al-Ni-Mn SMA by grain refinement using a rapid solidification techniques combined with powder metallurgy(P/M) method. At the same time, it has been also made to develope the technological method of controlling transformation temperatures of SMA by P/M method, which consists of mixing the two kinds of standerd alloys with the definite transformation temperature.
It was found that the addition of 1% Ti and 0.2%V to 4032III alloy developed by the research group of Kansai University was most effective to obtain the small grain size such as 3-4 <mu> m even after annealing for 30 min at 900゜C in the specimen prepared by RSP-P/M. These specimens showed a fairly improved hot and cold deformability together with a good SM effect. However, the transformation temperatures were found to be affected considerably due to the grain size with the order of several micron metres as well as the fine distribution of the compounds, which plays an important role for restriction to grain growth during annearing. The method of controlling the transformation temperatures of SAM has been established by RSP-P/M using the two previously prepared RSP, which has the difinit transformation temperature. These specimen showed to have agood ductility by SEM fractograpy.
