Microstructure of an additively manufactured Ti-Ta-Al alloy using novel pre-alloyed powder feedstock material
(2023-05-01)
Binary Ti-Ta and ternary Ti-Ta-Al alloys attracted considerable attention as new potential biomaterials and/or high-temperature shape memory alloys. However, conventional forming and manufacturing technologies of refractory based titanium alloys are difficult and cost-intensive, especially when complex shapes are required. Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) emerged as a suitable alternative and several studies exploited elemental powder mixing approaches to obtain a desired alloy and subsequently use it for complex ...

Pathways towards grain boundary engineering for improved structural performance in polycrystalline Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys
(2018)
Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloys attracted a lot of scientific attention due to their superior functional material properties in recent years. In the single crystalline state Co-Ni-Ga HT-SMAs feature a good pseudoelastic response up to 500°C. However, in the polycrystalline condition Co-Ni-Ga suffers significant grain constraints and premature fracture at grain boundaries. In this regard, crystallographic orientation of the grain being involved as well as morphology and geometrical orientation of the ...

Effect of nanometric γ´-particles on the stress-induced martensitic transformation in ⟨001⟩-oriented Co49Ni21Ga30 shape memory alloy single crystals
(2019)
The effect of finely dispersed particles on the functional properties and morphology of thermally induced martensite in Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys has been already reported in literature, however, still important aspects are not fully understood. The current study focuses on the stress-induced martensitic transformation of solution-annealed, i.e. precipitate-free, and aged 〈001〉-oriented single crystals. In situ optical microscopy and neutron diffraction experiments show a significant influence of γ′-particles on ...
