Obtaining Fe—Ni—Co—Ti alloys having a thermoelastic martensite transformation

Modeling porous shape memory alloys using micromechanical averaging techniques

“…Driven by biomedical applications, recent emphasis has been given to porous SMAs. Initial progress in manufacturing and testing of these new materials has been reported by Russian (Martynova et al, 1991;Goncharuk et al, 1992;Itin et al, 1994;Shevchenko et al, 1997) and Chinese (Li et al, 1998a(Li et al, ,b, 1999 scientists. Fabrication techniques for producing porous NiTi have also been established in the US Tangaraj et al, 2000).…”

Modeling of the thermomechanical behavior of porous shape memory alloys

“…Initiating from early studies in Russia Itin et al, 1994;Shevchenko et al, 1997) and further development in China (Li et al, 1998a(Li et al, ,b, 1999, porous shape memory alloys have been developed and used primary for bone reconstruction applications (Simske et al, 1996;Ayers et al, 1999). They have lower density compared to fully dense SMAs, which allows their use in a number of lightweight applications.…”

Superelasticity of [001]-oriented Fe42·6Ni27.9Co17·2Al9.9Nb2.4 ferrous shape memory alloys

“…Ferrous shape memory alloys (FeSMAs) such as Fe-Ni-C [1], Fe-Mn-Si [2,3], Fe-Mn-Al [4] and Fe-Ni-Co-Ti [5][6][7] have received considerable attention due to their better workability, weldability and lower cost than the commercially available NiTi based SMAs. They have the potential to be utilized in many industries, such as construction, that requires the employment of large quantities of materials.…”
