Here, it is demonstrated that the embrittled Fe-based MG can be reductilized and the coercivity can be further lowered through the rejuvenation of memory effect. The synchronous improvement in the plasticity and soft magnetic properties is attributed to the combination effects of releasing much residual stress, decreasing the magnetic anisotropy, and homogenizing the glasses during the rejuvenation process. The current work opens a new perspective to improve the properties of MGs by utilizing the memory effect and holds promising commercial application potential.展开更多

In this study, we designed four gradient lattice structures (GLSs) using the topology optimization method, including the unidirectional GLS, the bi-directional increasing GLS, the bi-directional decreasing GLS and the none-GLS. All GLSs were manufactureed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The uniaxial compression tests and finite element analysis were conducted to investigate the influence of gradient distribution features on deformation modes and energy absorption performance of GLSs. The results showed that, compared with the 45° shear fracture characteristic of the none-GLS, the unidirectional GLS, the bi-directional increasing GLS and the bi-directional decreasing GLS had the characteristics of the layer-by-layer fracture, showing considerably improved energy absorption capacity. The bi-directional increasing GLS showed a unique combination of shear fracture and layer-by-layer fracture, having the optimal energy absorption performance with energy absorption and specific energy absorption of 235.6 J and 9.5 J g-1 at 0.5 strain, respectively. Combined with the shape memory effect of NiTi alloy, multiple compression-heat recovery experiments were carried out to verify the shape memory function of LPBF-processed NiTi GLSs. These findings have potential value for the future design of GLSs and the realization of shape memory function of NiTi components through laser AM.展开更多

The relations between the structure and shape memory effect of these two series were studied with respect to the ionic group content and the effect of neutralization. The resulting data indicate that, with the introduction of asymmetrical extender, the stress at 100% elongation is decreased for PU non-ionomer and ionomer series, especially lowered sharply for non-ionomer series; the fixation ratio of ionomer series is not affected obviously by the ionic group content; the total recovery ratio of ionomer series is decreased greatly. After sufficient relaxation time for samples stretched beforehand, the switching temperature is raised slightly, whereas the recovery ratio measured with strain recovery test method is lowered with increased DMPA content. The characterization with FT-IR, DSC, DMA elucidated that, the ordered hard domain of the two series is disrupted with the introduction of DMPA which causes more hard segments to dissolve in soft phase; ionic groups on hard segment enhance the cohesion between hard segments especially at high ionic group content and significantly facilitate the phase separation compared with the corresponding non-ionomer at moderate ionic group content.展开更多

Three phases, austenite A, twinned martensite and detwinned martensite , as well as the phase transitions occurring between each pair of phases (, , , , and are considered in the proposed model. Meanwhile, two kinds of inelastic deformation mechanisms, martensite transformation-induced plasticity and reorientation-induced plasticity, are used to explain the degeneration of shape memory effects of NiTi SMAs. The evolution equations of internal variables are proposed by attributing the degeneration of shape memory effect to the interaction between the three phases (A, , and and plastic deformation. Finally, the capability of the proposed model is verified by comparing the predictions with the experimental results of NiTi SMAs. It is shown that the degeneration of shape memory effect and its dependence on the loading level can be reasonably described by the proposed model.展开更多

The recovery temperature was fixed to exclude the interference from heterogeneous nuclei. After melting at temperatures between 170 ℃ and 174 ℃, the melted spherulite could recover back to the origin spberulite at low temperatures. Interestingly, a distinct infrared spectrum from iPP melt and crystal was observed in the early stage of recovery process after melting at low temperatures, where only IR bands resulting from short helices with 12 monomers or less can be seen, which indicates that the presence of crystal residues is not the necessary condition for the polymer memory effect. Avrami analysis further indicated that crystallization mainly took place in melted lamellae. After melting at higher temperatures, melted spherulite cannot recover. Based on above findings, it is proposed that the memory effect can be mainly ascribed to melted lamellae, during which crystalline order is lost but conformational order still exists. These conformational ordered segments formed aggregates, which can play as nucleation precursors at low temperatures.展开更多

It was shown that the magnetic properties of Pr2Fel4B/ct-Fe nanocomposite were im- proved by an addition of 10 at.% CoCr, in particular, coercivity （Hc） from 4.9 up to 5.3 kOe, maximum energy product （（BH）max） from 10.6 up to 13.9 MGOe, and remanence （Mr） from 94.2 up to 98.4 emu/g. The field dependencies of the reversible and irreversible magnetization components were derived from the recoil loops. Combining with the initial magnetization curves, the results indi- cated that the pinning of domain walls at the grain boundaries dominated the magnetization reversal in Pr2Fe14B/ct-Fe nanocomposite alloys. The magnetic memory effect was studied by measuring the magnetic moment relaxation at a cycle negative magnetic field with time interval of 600 s. The exchange-spring magnets with magnetic memory effect have a high potential for high density magnetic recording.展开更多

The results showed that the second phase particles rich in chromium, manganese and silicon precipitate during aging, and thereby increase the hardness and strength of the alloy. The shape recovery ratio can be remarkably improved by aging and a maximum value can be obtained at 1223 K, which is 68% higher than that of the specimen in solid solution state. When the aging temperature is below 1223 K, the amount of second phase particles increases as the aging temperature increases. The size of austenite grain increases with increasing aging temperature. When the temperature is over 1223 K, the second phase particles can not precipitate. The lack of second phase particles and the increase of grain size make the hardness and shape recovery ratio drastically decrease, when the temperature is over 1223 K.展开更多

These results showed that with increasing annealing temperature and annealing time, the phase transformation temperatures of TiNiCu wires were shifted to higher temperatures in the heating and cooling process. It was also found that incomplete thermal cycles, upon heating the TiNiCu wires, which were arrested at a temperature between the start and finish temperatures of the reverse martensite transformation, could induce a kinetic stop in the next complete thermal cycle. The kinetic stop temperature was closely related to the previous arrested temperature. This phenomenon was defined as the temperature memory effect. The result of this study was consistent with the previous report on the phenomenon obtained using the differential scanning calorimetry method, indicating that temperature memory effect was a common phenomenon in shape memory alloys.展开更多

In practical applications, various additives are usually introduced into polymers, which may affect their melt memory behavior. In this work, the effect of talc on the melt memory effect of metallocene-made isotactic polypropylene(M-PP) was investigated in detail by using the differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that the introduction of talc significantly strengthened the melt memory effect of M-PP. Specifically, the upper limit temperature of Domain II increased from 161 ℃ to 174 ℃, resulting in a substantial widening of the temperature range of Domain IIa from 1 ℃ to 14 ℃. Analysis of the crystal orientation of the M-PP containing talc cooled from various Ts suggested that the remarkably enhanced melt memory effect could be ascribed to the stabilization of oriented nuclei facilitated by talc. This stabilizing effect was likely attributable to the prefreezing effect or the sorption interaction between talc and the M-PP chains.展开更多

The results indicated that the training procedure is beneficial to get the better TWSME. The two-way shape memory strain increases with increasing the training strain. And it decreases with increasing the training temperature. The TWSME obtained in the present alloy shows poorer stability compared with that obtained in the TiNi alloys.展开更多

文摘Shape memory polymers(SMPs)usually have a one-way shape memory effect.In this paper,an easy-operating method to realize a two-way shape memory effect was demonstrated in a ring-shaped bilayer structure where the two layers are SMPs with different thermal transition temperatures.By designing specific thermomechanical processes,the mismatched deformation between the two layers leads to a morphology change of ring-shaped bilayer structures from a smooth ring to a gear-like buckling shape under cooling and a reversible recovery to the smooth shape under heating.Such a morphology change is ascribed to occurrence and recovery of thermoelastic buckling.This method was validated by finite element simulation.We experimentally investigated the influence of pre-strain on buckling,and it was found that both the buckling occurrence and recovery temperature vary with pre-strain.Furthermore,considering a ring-shaped SMP-SMP bilayer structure,finite element analysis was conducted to study the influence of film thickness and modulus ratio of two layers on buckling behavior.The results showed that the critical buckling wavelength was greatly influenced by film thickness and modulus ratio.W e made a theoretical analysis that accorded well with the numerical results.

文摘In this study, recovery processes of isotactic polypropylene （iPP） melted spherulites at 135 ℃ after melting at higher temperatures （170 ℃-176 ℃） were investigated with polarized optical microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The recovery temperature was fixed to exclude the interference from heterogeneous nuclei. After melting at temperatures between 170 ℃ and 174 ℃, the melted spherulite could recover back to the origin spberulite at low temperatures. Interestingly, a distinct infrared spectrum from iPP melt and crystal was observed in the early stage of recovery process after melting at low temperatures, where only IR bands resulting from short helices with 12 monomers or less can be seen, which indicates that the presence of crystal residues is not the necessary condition for the polymer memory effect. Avrami analysis further indicated that crystallization mainly took place in melted lamellae. After melting at higher temperatures, melted spherulite cannot recover. Based on above findings, it is proposed that the memory effect can be mainly ascribed to melted lamellae, during which crystalline order is lost but conformational order still exists. These conformational ordered segments formed aggregates, which can play as nucleation precursors at low temperatures.

文摘The influence of CoCr addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties was investigated in nanocomposite Pr2Fel4B/a-Fe alloys prepared by melt spinning. It was shown that the magnetic properties of Pr2Fel4B/ct-Fe nanocomposite were im- proved by an addition of 10 at.% CoCr, in particular, coercivity （Hc） from 4.9 up to 5.3 kOe, maximum energy product （（BH）max） from 10.6 up to 13.9 MGOe, and remanence （Mr） from 94.2 up to 98.4 emu/g. The field dependencies of the reversible and irreversible magnetization components were derived from the recoil loops. Combining with the initial magnetization curves, the results indi- cated that the pinning of domain walls at the grain boundaries dominated the magnetization reversal in Pr2Fe14B/ct-Fe nanocomposite alloys. The magnetic memory effect was studied by measuring the magnetic moment relaxation at a cycle negative magnetic field with time interval of 600 s. The exchange-spring magnets with magnetic memory effect have a high potential for high density magnetic recording.

文摘An intrinsic two-way shape memory effect with a fully recoverable strain of 1.0%was achieved in an as-prepared Ni50Mn37.5Sn12.5 metamagnetic shape memory microwire fabricated by Taylor-Ulitovsky method.This two-way shape memory effect is mainly owing to the internal stress caused by the retained martensite in austenite matrix,as revealed by transmission electron microscopy observations and highenergy X-ray diffraction experiments.After superelastic training for 30 loading/unloading cycles at room temperature,the amount of retained martensite increased and the recoverable strain of two-way shape memory effect increased significantly to 2.2%.Furthermore,a giant recoverable strain of 11.2%was attained under a bias stress of 300 MPa in the trained microwire.These properties confer this microwire great potential for micro-actuation applications.

文摘The regulation of memory effect that the residual charges generated during and after discharge act on the initiation and development of subsequent discharge is explored by adjusting the pulse parameters,which have an influence on the discharge characteristics.The memory effect is quantified by the measurement of‘wall voltage’through a series of reference capacitors.The influences of memory effect on the discharge properties corresponding to rising/falling time50–500 ns,pulse width 0.5–1.5μs,and frequency 200–600 Hz are analyzed.It is found that the‘wall voltage’increases from 1.4 kV to 2.4 kV with rising/falling time from 50 ns to 500 ns,it varies in the range of 0.18 kV with frequency of 200–600 Hz,and 0.17 k V with pulse width of 0.5–1.5μs.The propagation velocity of wavelike ionization under the negative pulse slows down from 2184 km s-1to 1026 km s-1 as the rising/falling time increases from 50 ns to 500 ns due to the weakening of the electric field by the surface memory effect.More intense and uniform emission can be achieved through faster rising/falling time and higher frequency based on the volume memory effect,while pulse width has less influence on the emission uniformity.Furthermore,similar laws are obtained for spectral and discharge intensity.Therefore,the memory effect is most effectively regulated by rising/falling time,and the discharge properties are affected by the surface and volume memory effect.

文摘The macromolecular architecture is the crucial factor in determining the arrangement of the ordering structures,which,because of the multiscale feature,may exhibit distinct melting behaviors and induce the so-called memory effect to affect the following recrystallization.Until present,the correlation between the occurrence of memory effect and the intrinsic molecular structure is still far from the comprehensive understanding.In this work,four kinds of 1-butene/α-olefin random copolymers were designed and synthesized using the(pyridyl-amino)hafnium catalyst to introduce the different branches.The branch length was precisely controlled by the specific α-olefin comonomers,which include 1-hexene,1-decene,1-tetradecene,and 1-octadecene,while the branch density was tuned by the incorporation.As expected,the incorporation of α-olefin co-units to poly(1-butene)backbone decreases the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics and the degree of crystallinity.More interestingly,the resulting linear branch can induce the occurrence of memory effect and the threshold concentration of co-units(i.e.,branch density)decreases with increasing the branch length.Based on the results of these 1-butene/α-olefin copolymers with designable branches,a direct correlation with the occurrence of memory effect and the fraction of amorphous region was established,which quantitatively indicates the degree of local segregation of the crystallized poly(1-butene)sequences by theα-olefin co-units.

文摘For nanostructure SnO2,it is very difficult for its electric properties to accurately control due to the presence of abundant surface states.The introduction of Sm can improve the traps in surface space charge region of SnO2 nanowires,resulting in a controllable storage charge effect.For the single nanowire-based two-terminal device,two surface state-related back-to-back diodes are formed.At a relatively large voltage,electrons can be injected into the traps in surface space charge region from negative electrode,resulting in a decrease of surface barrier connected with negative electrode,and contrarily electrons can be extracted from the traps in surface space charge region into positive electrode,resulting in an increase of surface barrier connected with positive electrode.The reversible injection and extraction induce a nonvolatile resistive switching memory effect.
文摘The effects of aging temperature on shape memory effect, mechanical properties and microstruc-ture of Fe-14Mn-5Si-8Cr-4Ni-0.2C shape memory alloy have been studied. The results showed that the second phase particles rich in chromium, manganese and silicon precipitate during aging, and thereby increase the hardness and strength of the alloy. The shape recovery ratio can be remarkably improved by aging and a maximum value can be obtained at 1223 K, which is 68% higher than that of the specimen in solid solution state. When the aging temperature is below 1223 K, the amount of second phase particles increases as the aging temperature increases. The size of austenite grain increases with increasing aging temperature. When the temperature is over 1223 K, the second phase particles can not precipitate. The lack of second phase particles and the increase of grain size make the hardness and shape recovery ratio drastically decrease, when the temperature is over 1223 K.

文摘The microstructure,phase transformation,compression property and strain recovery characteristics of equiatomic Ru-Nb high temperature shape memory alloy were investigated by means of optical microscope,X-ray diffraction(XRD),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),compression tests and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).When cooling the alloy specimen from high temperature to room temperature,β(parent phase)→β’(interphase)→β″(martensite) two step phase transformation occurs.The microstructure at room temperature shows regularly arranged band morphology with the monoclinic crystal structure.The twinning relationship between the martensite bands was determined to be(101) Type I.Reorientation and of the martensite bands inside the variant and dislocation were found during compression at room temperature.The maximum complete recovery strain is about 1.5%.
文摘The effect of heat treatment on the phase transformation behavior of TiNiCu shape memory alloy wires and the temperature memory effect in this alloy were investigated by the resistance method. These results showed that with increasing annealing temperature and annealing time, the phase transformation temperatures of TiNiCu wires were shifted to higher temperatures in the heating and cooling process. It was also found that incomplete thermal cycles, upon heating the TiNiCu wires, which were arrested at a temperature between the start and finish temperatures of the reverse martensite transformation, could induce a kinetic stop in the next complete thermal cycle. The kinetic stop temperature was closely related to the previous arrested temperature. This phenomenon was defined as the temperature memory effect. The result of this study was consistent with the previous report on the phenomenon obtained using the differential scanning calorimetry method, indicating that temperature memory effect was a common phenomenon in shape memory alloys.

文摘The melt memory effect is a widely observed phenomenon in semi-crystalline polymers. In practical applications, various additives are usually introduced into polymers, which may affect their melt memory behavior. In this work, the effect of talc on the melt memory effect of metallocene-made isotactic polypropylene(M-PP) was investigated in detail by using the differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicated that the introduction of talc significantly strengthened the melt memory effect of M-PP. Specifically, the upper limit temperature of Domain II increased from 161 ℃ to 174 ℃, resulting in a substantial widening of the temperature range of Domain IIa from 1 ℃ to 14 ℃. Analysis of the crystal orientation of the M-PP containing talc cooled from various Ts suggested that the remarkably enhanced melt memory effect could be ascribed to the stabilization of oriented nuclei facilitated by talc. This stabilizing effect was likely attributable to the prefreezing effect or the sorption interaction between talc and the M-PP chains.
文摘The Effect of the thermal cycling training under constant strain on the two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) in a Ti36l\li49Hf15 high temperature shape memory alloy (SMA) has been investigated by bending tests. The results indicated that the training procedure is beneficial to get the better TWSME. The two-way shape memory strain increases with increasing the training strain. And it decreases with increasing the training temperature. The TWSME obtained in the present alloy shows poorer stability compared with that obtained in the TiNi alloys.
