Abstract

The influence of superplastic extrusion on the microstructures and the shape memory effect of the Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys has been investigated. The shape memory alloy Cu-26%wt%Zn-3.5wt%Al is superplastio with an index of strain rate sensitivity n = 0.48 at 600°C, at a strain of . After extrusion under the superplastio condition the miorostruotures are improved and no cavities are observed. The superplastically extruded specimens of this alloy were heat-treated to obtain the shape memory effect. These specimens indicate that no deterioration of shape memory effect of the alloy is induced by the superplastio extrusion and the shape memory effect of the alloy is somewhat improved.
