Description

Cu-Zn-Al (6%) alloy and method thereof with low martensitic temperature
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Cu-Zn-Al (6%) shape memory alloy and a kind of method that reduces martensite transformation temperature, this shape memory alloy has low martensite transformation temperature.
Background technology
Cu-Zn-Al shape memory effect (SME) alloy is dexterity likely and intelligence engineering material (Wayman C.M., Journal of Metals, 32 (June 1980), p-129-137 and Michael A.D ﹠amp; Hart W.B, Metal Material Technology, 12 (1980), p-434-440).Because they are easy to make with respect to Nitinol and are with low cost, these alloys have caused pays close attention to (White S.M., Cook J.M.﹠amp widely; Stobbs W.M, JournalDe Physique, C4 (ICOMAT-82), p-779-783).But Nitinol has outstanding character and long fatigue lifetime, and energy and physiologically acceptable.
At periodictable (Golestaneh A.A., Physics Today, (April 1984), p-62-70) middle portion, 20 kinds of elements are probably arranged, their alloy demonstrates shape memory, this is such as (Wayman C.M. such as Ag-Cd, Au-Cd, Cu-Al-Ni, Cu-Al-Mn, Cu-Au-Zn, Cu-Sn, Cu-Au-Sn, Cu-Zn, Cu-Zn-Al, Cu-Zn-Sn, Cu-Zn-Ga, Cu-Zn-Si, In-Ti, Ni-Al, Ni-Ti, Fe-Pt, Fe-Pd, Journal of Metals, 32 (June1980), p-129-137 and Michael A.D ﹠amp; Hart W.B, Metal MaterialTechnology, 12 (1980), p-434-440).
Shape memory alloy (SMA) has unique character, and promptly these materials have been remembered the shape/profile in they past.The key character of these alloys is, they can on certain critical transition temperature or under exist with two kinds of distinct shapes or profile.It has experienced no dispersion pattern martensitic transformation (Golestaneh A.A., Physics Today, April 1984, p-62-70), this also is thermoelastic in essence, promptly below critical temperature, formed martensitic stucture, and along with temperature reduces and grows up, yet martensite shrinks and final the disappearance when heating.
Martensitic phase in martensite in the shape memory alloy and the steel is than soft.The distortion of these alloys is not by slippage, twin or intercrystalline slip, but by self-coordinating (self-accommodation), the growth that is orientated martensite plate/variant or contraction (SaburiT., Wayman C.M, Takala K ﹠amp more; Nenno S., Acta Metallurgica (Jan1980)) P-15.
When heating, strain induced martensite is returned to its parent phase, so the shape of initial not process deformation is restored.The variation of tissue can interrelate with shape and size, and alloy has demonstrated the memory to the high and low temperature shape.There is a kind of useful power that is associated with these change of shape,, is used for warning, control, detection and adjusting etc. so these alloys can be bonded in the temperature sensor field.Actuator can be calibrated, by working in narrow temperature range in conjunction with compensation biasing resilience.Recoverable strain is 2-8%, and depends on one way or round trip memory.After process is called as heat-mechanical workout of exercise (training), copper-based shape memory alloy also demonstrates round trip memory behavior (Wayman C.M., Journal ofMetals except the one way memory, 32 (June 1980), p-129-137 and Michael A.D ﹠amp; Hart W.B, Metal Material Technology, 12 (1980), p-434-440).
In case through taking exercise, these materials are when heating or cooling, more than corresponding critical transition temperature or followingly will spontaneously change its shape.Forward and reverse martensite transformation temperature use ' Ms ' (when cooling) and ' As ' (when heating) to refer to respectively.
In the Cu-Zn-Al ternary alloy, shape memory effect is present in the angle of the rich copper of trilateral in the trapezoid shape.In expansion during this trapezoid, we martensite transformation temperature and composition can be associated (Schetky L.M., Scientific American, 241 (Nov.1979), p-68-76).
The content of aluminium from 4% to 10% changes, and the content of zinc from 10% to 30% changes, and surplus is a copper.Because very little composition changes, martensite transformation temperature (' Ms ') can change from-100 ℃ to+300 ℃.But for the useful scope of aluminum brass is from-70 ℃ to+150 ℃.(' As ') is very responsive to composition for martensite transformation temperature.The subtle change of any composition in zinc or the aluminium (such as ± 0.5%) all can be with transition temperature variation ± 50 ℃.Therefore, for the actuator that is operated under the specified temp, in order to obtain desired transition temperature, it is extremely important that composition is critically controlled.When melting, being lost in the air-melted stove of low melting point and Volatile Elements is that inevitably such element is such as Al, Zn etc.Can critically control composition in the vacuum melting furnace, but the cost of vacuum melting furnace and high is installed, be unaffordable for small-sized and medium scale melting unit/industry.
In the air-melted stove, although these losses are compensated, and between smelting period, strictly follow necessary preventive measures, still there is the danger of the such element of loss usually.The alloy that composition deviation occurs and do not have a desired martensite transformation temperature will go whistle or by melting again.So make great efforts and drop into all to have wasted.Also should observe, the loss of zinc or the aluminium martensite transformation temperature that raise will reduce transition temperature yet increase these elements.
Therefore, the present invention is in order to increase or reduce martensite transformation temperature.
The Cu-Zn-4%Al alloy (Adnyana D.N., Wire Journal International, (1984), p-52-61) in, martensite transformation temperature has been lowered to quite low, promptly about 20 ℃ to 25 ℃.
Between the smelting period of copper base and other alloys, in the time of especially in the air-melted stove, such as volatility such as zinc, aluminium, tin, lead and low-melting element evaporation usually can appear.These losses can not be avoided, but can be reduced by comprehensively noting between smelting period, between smelting period, add the amount of accurate weighing every kind of element, compensate the loss of each element and strictly follow preventive measures.
Vacuum oven is accurately controlled these losses, and they are very expensive but install, and is unaffordable during therefore for small-sized and medium scale melting/processing unit (plant).For these, Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy (SMA) is exception not.Martensite transformation temperature (' As ') is important parameters in shape memory alloy, and to composition and sensitivity thereof.The subtle change of any composition in zinc or the aluminium (such as ± 0.5%), such as because heat waste, all can be with transition temperature variation ± 50 ℃.Casting like this, material processed will be become waste material, and have to by melting again, cause effort, artificial and mechanical waste like this.
Experimental study shows, can be by setover resilience (compensating biasspring) or by optionally corrosion/by the molten leaching zinc of thermal treatment, with 15 ℃ to 20 ℃ of As temperature risings of using compensation.But, reduce the As temperature, in case realize and will throw into question.U.S. Patent No. 4,634,477 have mentioned shape memory alloy.But this patent is not mentioned the reduction Martensite temperature.

For example
Following Example is provided to that the present invention will be further described.But these examples can not be considered to limitation of the scope of the invention.
Example 1
Furnace charge is made up of commercially available fine copper, zinc and aluminium, carries out melting under charcoal covers in induction furnace, and is cast in the sand mo(u)ld, forms the piece of 150 * 100 * 12.5mm size.Then, these pieces were homogenized 2 hours at 800 ℃, cool off.Then, these pieces are carried out machining surface processing and remove zone of oxidation.Piece after these are homogenized carries out chemical composition analysis.At 750 ℃ these pieces (thick 12mm) are reheated 1 hour, be the thick smooth sheet of 1mm with its hot rolling and between each attenuate passage, repeatedly reheat.These sheets are maintained at (sheet that 1.0mm is thick) in the chucking device, 750 ℃ of βization (betatise) 3 minutes, use cold (common) water to quench then.These pieces are trimmed to desired size, about 20-25 spare, size is 100mm * 10-12mm * 1mm.Cut next little rectangular sheet (10 * 10mm) from a smooth sheet (through the band of βization), and it is installed in the acrylic acid series compound, on multistage carborundum paper, polish, on little fabric (microcloth) turning wheel that diamond paste soaks into, polish then, in the potassium bichromate etching reagent, corrode, under opticmicroscope, its microstructure is observed.These are organized is martensite fully.On the band of remnants, can observe the shape memory response by hot air blower.Use hot water and cold water, and heat indicator can be determined transition temperature.Its shape memory response is good, and transition temperature is about 110 ℃-112 ℃ (Fig. 1).Then, again six sheets through memorize (βization) were heated 10 minutes down at 200 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃, 500 ℃, 600 ℃ and 700 ℃, use cold (common) water to quench then.They are out of shape with the response of detection shape memory, and their microstructure is analyzed (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).The sample that is heated to 200 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃ is hard in the extreme, so that can not observe memory effect.At 500 ℃ of heated samples is soft, but does not have shape memory.Microstructure to them is observed.At 600 ℃ and 700 ℃ of heated samples is soft, and has demonstrated shape memory at low temperature and high temperature respectively.Also their microstructure is observed.Between 500 ℃ to 700 ℃, martensitic stucture occurs in a large number.So, under 550 ℃, 575 ℃, 600 ℃, 625 ℃, 650 ℃, 675 ℃, 700 ℃ (increment is 25 ℃), again seven samples through βization were further heated 10 minutes, quench with cold water (room temperature).Microstructure to them is observed (Fig. 4).They are out of shape, and determine their shape memory response and transition temperature (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).Through the sample of βization, 575 ℃ of βization 10 minutes once more, water quenches, and obtains having with intragranular on crystal boundary the martensite of enough α, demonstrated good shape memory and responded, and its transition temperature (' As ') is about 30 ℃.So, by such two-stage process, 110 ℃ of initial temperatures are reduced to 30 ℃, reduced by 80 ℃ by such method.By selecting the suitable temperature of βization once more, can obtain any middle transition temperature.The βization method repeats for several times once more, to determine repeatable and to confirm the result.
Example 2
The Cu-Zn binary phase diagram (Higgins R.A, Engineering metallurgy Vol.1 (1971), p-312-339) in, there is the most nearly 39% zinc of content in α solid phase (α).This α has face-centred cubic structure (FCC) mutually.This alloy is extending, forging and cold worked.The content of zinc more than 39% by 50% o'clock, β phase (β) has appearred.β is body-centered cubic structure (BCC) mutually.It is hard phase, and can only hot-work.50% when above, a kind of complexity, frangible and and undesirable γ phase constitution have been formed at the content of zinc.Cu-Zn-Al is a ternary alloy system.It is to have the Cu-Zn alloy system that has added the third element aluminum basically.The zinc equivalent value of aluminium is 6, and promptly 1% aluminium and 6% zinc have similar effects (1Al=6Zn) (West E.G.Copper ﹠amp; It ' s alloy (1982), p-98-105).So, by using following formula (Greaves R.H.﹠amp; Wrighton H., Practical MicroscopicalMetallography (1971), p-159-177), we can calculate the zinc equivalent value (74.4%Cu-19.5%Zn-6.1%Al) for the composition of shape memory alloy.The equivalent value of zinc is calculated as 43%.
If we detect the binary phase diagram of Cu-Zn system, very near or almost just at the borderline region mutually of α and β, i.e. the zone of rich β in phasor, zinc content is 43%.The condition that keeps them, the experiment of being correlated with.When heating, to 750 ℃ alloy, structural transformation is from martensite to β, and same, we are called this heat treated βization, transition temperature is called As (during heating) and Ms (during cooling).Material (750 ℃/3 minutes/cold-water quench (CWQ)) through βization is soft, is the good martensite of shape memory response fully.Its temperature is from 110 ℃ to 112 ℃.The sample of front high temperature βization (6) quenches with cold water (room temperature) in low temperature to 200 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃, 500 ℃, 600 ℃ and 700 ℃ βization ten minutes once more.Their microtexture, shape memory response and martensite transformation temperature are determined.200 ℃ again the material of βization be martensite.But unusual rigidity, when when 200 ℃ are quenched, it does not demonstrate shape memory.300 ℃ again the sample of βization have alpha+beta martensite seldom.Its very hard and not memory.The form of α phase is shaft-like or sheet.400 ℃ again the sample of βization also be hard, do not have shape memory effect.It comprises the alpha+beta tissue, and α is in crystal grain.500 ℃ again the material of βization be soft, but do not have a shape memory effect.Its tissue is the very small amount of martensite of alpha+beta.It has extremely thin α phase edge at crystal boundary, and these α phase edges trend towards sphere.Sample 600 ℃ and 700 ℃ heating is soft, and can be out of shape, and demonstrates the memory of low temperature and high temperature respectively.These materials are martensite fully, but 600 ℃ again the sample of βization compare with 700 ℃ sample, having seldom, α is deposited in crystal boundary and intragranular mutually.700 ℃ sample comparatively speaking crystal grain is meticulousr.Even these materials can not ftracture with cold-water quench the time yet.By these special experiments, the shape memory effect that can determine this material is between 550 ℃ to 700 ℃.Therefore,, take out 7 bands through βization βization 10 minutes once more under 550 ℃, 575 ℃, 600 ℃, 625 ℃, 650 ℃, 675 ℃, 700 ℃ (increment is 25 ℃), use cold water (room temperature) quenching then for further experiment.Microstructure, shape memory response and transition temperature are estimated.At 550 ℃ of samples through βization is soft, and its transition temperature drops to 22 ℃ from 110 ℃.This sample has faint memory, and this mainly is because the α of enough volume fractions emanates and very small amount of visible martensite mutually in β.Grain boundary phase envelope (envelop) also is thick.575 ℃ again the sample of βization be soft, and have good shape memory at 30 ℃.Its microstructure is to have enough α martensite of striped volume component mutually at crystal boundary and intragranular.α trends towards sphere or lens shaped form mutually.From matrix, be precipitated out the zinc content enrichment of α mutual-assistance β in mutually, and composition moved to the right side of binary phase diagram.When quenching, the β of rich zinc changes rich zinc martensite mutually into, so reduced martensite transformation temperature significantly, from 110 ℃ to 30 ℃, has descended 80 ℃.At 600 ℃ once more during βization, material is soft and has good shape memory effect that transition temperature is greatly about 45 ℃.Sample is martensite fully, has with crystal grain inside at crystal boundary and seldom measures sedimentary α mutually.625 ℃ again the sample of βization be soft, and have good shape memory effect at about 61 ℃.Tissue is the martensite that has unresolvable α phase at crystal boundary.650 ℃, 675 ℃ and 700 ℃ again the sample of βization all be soft, and have shape memory (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8) at 79 ℃, 100 ℃ and 110 ℃ respectively.These are martensite fully, at crystal boundary and intragranular almost without any visible α mutually.In other words, α can not differentiate mutually.Because very a small amount of or insignificant α emanates from martensitic matrix, so these samples have demonstrated high-temperature shape-memory.So these results point out, 575 ℃ again the sample of βization provided best value, promptly their martensite transformation temperature promptly drops to 30 ℃ by this special βization processing As from 110 ℃ near 30 ℃, has descended 80 ℃.

Through observing, in Cu-Zn-Al (6%) shape memory alloy, martensite transformation temperature significantly descends, promptly 70 ℃-80 ℃.Also observe at experimental session, can martensite transformation temperature be raise 15 ℃-20 ℃ by in conjunction with biasing or by suitable thermal treatment (being used for selective corrosion/zinc loss).
In the Cu-Zn-6%Al alloy, by special thermal treatment, promptly by to the material of previous high temperature βization in low temperature βization once more, martensite transformation temperature (As) significantly can be reduced about 80 ℃.The reduction of temperature mainly is because a spot of α phase (α) is emanated from martensitic matrix.Being retained the α that gets off does not influence the shape memory response mutually, but helps conversely crystal boundary is cushioned, and prevents the material cracking thus, even when quenching in cold water.
