Özet
The relationship between the microstructure and shape memory properties of [111]-oriented Ni45.3Ti29.7Hf20Pd5 (at%) single crystals was explored. In this precipitation-strengthened alloy, the size and volume fraction of precipitates and interparticle distances govern the martensite morphology and the ensuing shape memory responses. Aging of the solution-treated material, leading to a microstructure of fine, closely spaced precipitates, resulted in a material capable of a shape memory strain of 2.15% at 1000 MPa in compression. Larger precipitates formed after aging the as-grown single crystals (without a prior solution treatment) resulting in a shape memory strain of 2.5% at this same stress level in constant-stress thermal cycling experiments. Superelastic strains of 4% in compression without any residual strain were possible under various microstructural conditions and the stress hysteresis could be varied between nearly 500 and 1000 MPa depending on the microstructure.
