Shape-memory alloys, such as Ni–Ti, typically show large recoverable strains of around 10% owing to reversible phase transformations, known as superelasticity 3. Certain alloy systems, such as Cu–Al–Ni, can demonstrate even larger recoverable strains, exceeding 17%, also due to superelasticity 10.
Ti-based shape-memory alloys have typically been developed by adding substantial amounts of denser elements such as Nb or Zr to stabilize the beta phase at room temperature 15, 16. However, this approach compromises the lightweight nature of Ti-based alloys.
By following thermodynamic guidelines based on the phase diagrams, incorporating less than 5 at% of Cr into the Ti–Al matrix and stabilizing the beta phase at room temperature through rapid quenching from high temperatures 21, 22, we have successfully synthesized a new Ti–Al-based shape-memory alloy with robust properties for temperature change.
The inverse temperature dependence of transformation stresses has been reported in a few ferromagnetic Co- and Fe-based shape-memory alloys and has been explained in terms of magnetism contribution to the relative phase stability between parent and martensite phases at low temperatures 5, 28.
