Abnormal grain growth of 68Cu–16Al–16Zn alloys for elastocaloric cooling via cyclical heat treatments

Abstract: Cu-based superelastic shape memory alloys are promising for low-stress elastocaloric cooling. We have synthesized bulk alloys of 68Cu-16Al-16Zn under different conditions in order to promote its grain growth and enhance its elastocaloric properties. High-temperature X-ray diffraction of untreated 68Cu-16Al-16Zn alloy showed that the phase boundary between the α+β mixed phases and the high temperature phase (β phase) was between 973 K and 1023 K. Based on this result, the 68Cu-16Al-16Zn alloy was heated and coo… Show more

“…Elastocaloric refrigeration based on eCE is a promising cooling technology that can substitute conventional vapor compression, owing to its high compactness, environmental protection and energy-saving potential [ 2 , 3 ]. By utilizing the latent heat generated by the first-order martensitic transformation (MT), many SMAs such as Fe- [ 4 , 5 ], Cu- [ 6 , 7 ], TiNi- [ 8 , 9 ], MnNi- [ 10 , 11 ] and FeNi-based [ 12 , 13 ] systems can exhibit excellent eCE performance, which is characterized by large adiabatic temperature change (∆ T ad ) or isothermal entropy change (∆ S iso ) [ 14 ].…”
