Abstract

Structural and phase transformations and properties of (a+b) Cu–41 wt%Zn shape memory alloy were studied depending on cryothermal and mechanocycling modes. The temperatures of the start and finish of the direct and reverse martensitic transformations are determined by the temperature dependences of elec-trical resistance. The mechanical properties were measured in mechanocyclic tensile tests in austenitic and martensitic states. Methods of optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis were used in structural studies. An increase in the critical temperatures of the start of direct and reverse thermoelastic martensitic transformations (by no more than 25°) with an increase in the number of thermal cycles “cooling–heating” was revealed. An increase in tweed contrast on electron microscopic images and diffuse effects on electron diffraction patterns on B2-austenite is shown with an increase in the number of cryothermocycles. An increase in dislocation density due to phase locking during thermal cycling was found. The low-temperature effect of ferroelasticity in the alloy has been established.
