Abstract

Shape memory alloys based on NiAl+Fe have the potential as actuators in under-the-hood automotive applications requiring alloys with transition temperatures above 100 °C. Alloying with iron and boron results in two-phase alloys with L12 and B2 phases and with about 7% room temperature tensile ductility. These alloys show a two-way shape memory effect over a range of transition temperatures with austenite peak temperature between 100 to 200 °C based on composition. Unfortunately, the B2 phase and its low temperature body centered tetragonal martensitic form are not stable and both can transform to Ni5Al3 with a loss in ductility. The shape memory properties of one such alloy as a function of prior cold work and tensile loading are presented.
