Background technology
The general shape memorial alloy has a kind of crystalline structure (hereinafter referred to as parent phase) under high relatively temperature, and under low relatively temperature spontaneous another crystalline structure that becomes, generally be referred to as martensitic phase.When from higher greenhouse cooling to lower temperature, material changes martensitic phase into from parent phase, and this changes mutually and is called martensitic transformation.Conversely, from low relatively temperature heating material, alloy can change parent phase into from martensitic phase, and this opposite transformation mutually is called the martensite reverse transformation.Generally, be called M with the starting point and the terminal point of martensitic transformation
1Point and M
fPoint, beginning and terminal point with the martensite reverse transformation are called A
sPoint and A
fThe point.If M
sAnd A
sBetween difference less, such as be the several years or tens the degree, this martensitic transformation of material is called as thermoelastic martensitic transformation.Usually, certain alloy material is cooled off with the shape of determining at parent phase, behind martensitic phase, change original shape more artificially, then, alloy material is heated up, when being transformed into parent phase, if the shape of alloy material completely or partially changes original shape into, this phenomenon is called shape memory effect.In addition, if in the circulation of same said temperature, the shape of parent phase is out of shape constantly in the phase transformation that cooling causes, the reverse transformation redeformation constantly that causes in subsequently intensification again, and partly or entirely be transformed into the shape of original parent phase, be referred to as bidirectional shape memory effect.Type purposes that shape memory alloy is widely used in various " intelligence ", as various driving mechanisms, temperature-sensing element, medicine equipment etc.The Ni that in the past had similarity
2The parent phase fragility of MnGa alloy is bigger, and the Ga element is relatively more expensive simultaneously, thereby has influenced the element manufacturing of material.And, Ni
2MnGa material phase transformation and reverse transformation temperature are lower, have influenced material at higher temperature environmental applications, for example document: P.J.Webster, K.R.A.Ziebeck, S.L.Town, and M.S.Peak, PhilosophicalMagazine B, 49,295 (1984).Afterwards, people attempted replacing Ga so that material has better character, Ni with other element
2MnSn and Ni
2The appearance of MnAl has reduced the production cost of material, but the transformation temperature of NiMn-base shape memory material is not very high, and material is more crisp, be difficult for preparation, such as, H.C.Xuan in 2008, the article Effect of annealing on the martensitic transformation and magnetocaloriceffect in Ni that people such as K.X.Xie and D.H.Wang deliver on Applied Physics Letters
