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 \(M_{\dot f}\) M f ˙ , the clear difference between quasi-static and impact is Mf. The specific enthalpy and driving force grew rapidly during the first three quasi-static cycles but plateaued thereafter; impact loading induced a marked jump in these parameters at the second cycle, followed by minimal variation. Calculations of effective stress and internal stress showed that quasi-static training progressively lowered effective stress and internal stress, indicative of facilitated reverse transformation, while impact training maintained higher levels. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses demonstrated that quasi-static compression promoted pronounced martensite variant alignment after unloading, in contrast to the more random, weakly accumulated martensite under impact loading; recrystallization mapping further revealed that, by the sixth cycle, quasi-static specimens retained ∼85% substructure with ∼1.2% recrystallization, whereas impact specimens exhibited ∼60% substructure and ∼2% recrystallization, signifying earlier functional degradation.
