Activity of stress-induced martensite transformation in TiNi shape memory alloy studied by infrared technique

摘要

Infrared imaging and thermomechanical behavior of stress-induced martensite transformation occurring in shape memory alloys is presented. TiNi shape memory alloy specimens have been subjected to a modified program of a stress-controlled tension test, i.e. at various stages of the martensite transformation the loading was kept constant for 3 min. After that the specimen was reloaded to the martensite transformation limit, followed by unloading, when the reverse transformation occurred. During the loading and unloading processes the specimen mechanical parameters and the infrared radiation from the specimen surface were continuously recorded. By comparison of the obtained stress-strain curves and the elaborated temperature characteristics, the current state and the progress of the martensite transformation developing in the shape memory alloy under these conditions has been studied.View full textDownload full textKeywordsshape memory alloy, martensite transformation, infrared camera, tension testRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09500341003725748
