Abstract

Potential high transition temperature shape memory alloys based on NiMn have been studied with emphasis on the shape recovery, transformation temperatures and mechanical properties. Binary NiMn, which has been reported to be brittle, has a low shape recovery, but this can be increased with Al or Ti additions. Also, the transformation temperature can be changed and the room temperature ductility improved by ternary element additions. The various substitutional solute characteristics affecting the shape recovery, the transformation temperatures, and the ductility have been examined.
