The Effect of Quenching Variables on the Transformation Characteristics of Some Rsp Shape-Memory Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Ribbons of a Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloy have been rapidly solidified by planar flow casting. Attempts have been made to vary casting and secondary quench conditions in order to identify the predominant process variable in determining the subsequent β1↔γ1′ transformation temperatures. By varying wheel speed, wheel material and secondary quenching rate it is concluded that the large excess vacancy concentration has most influence on the as cast ribbon, but that after subsequent heat treatment, the grain size dominates.
