Thermal and microstructural responses in Fe-Mn-Si shape memory alloy during rate-dependent cyclic compressive training
摘要
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provides macroscopic thermodynamic and kinetic information on the martensite/austenite transformation, enabling a quantitative linkage between microstructure and the temperature- and energy-scales of shape memory performance, and thus allowing a more comprehensive explanation and prediction of the shape memory behavior and repeatability of Fe-Mn-Si shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA). This study investigates the thermal and microstructural evolution of a Fe-28Mn-6Si-5Cr SMA subjected to six cycles of cyclic compressive training under both quasi-static and impact loading. DSC revealed that all characteristic transformation temperatures decreased after deformation, with the largest shifts in martensite start temperature Ms and martensite finish temperature
