Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of shape memory alloys, in particular to a boron-containing shape memory alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Shape memory alloys are unique materials that can be deformed and return to a predetermined shape after being unloaded or heated. To date, there are three main types of shape memory alloys with practical application: Ni-Ti based, Fe based and Cu based memory alloy, wherein the Ni-Ti based memory alloy has the characteristics of good shape memory property, strong anti-fatigue property, high strength, excellent biocompatibility and the like, and is suitable for application in most fields. While Fe-based and Cu-based memory alloys are low in cost, poor stability and thermo-mechanical properties limit development and application. Even the most mature NiTi shape memory alloy at present has low tensile strength and martensite phase transition temperature, and can not meet the requirements of some key driving devices such as aerospace, nuclear power engineering, airplane morphing wings, space robots and the like on the service performance of materials.
The martensite phase transition temperature can be improved by adding elements such as Pd, Pt, Au and the like to replace Ni or adding elements such as Zr, Hf and the like to replace Ti in the NiTi binary alloy. Alloying elements Cu, Nb, Fe and the like are added, so that the phase transition temperature of the alloy is greatly reduced, and the M phase transition and the R phase transition are separated. The NiTi binary alloy matrix has low strength, and the martensite phase transformation critical shear stress is not obviously higher than the plastic slip critical stress, so that the alloy is easy to slip in the deformation process to cause the deterioration of the memory performance. For example, the addition of Hf in a binary NiTi alloy causes severe lattice distortion, resulting in poor room temperature plastic deformability. At present, the single maximum cold deformation of the NiTiHf alloy is less than 20%, and the process forming of subsequent parts is severely restricted.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.
