详细地研究了Ni56Mn25-xCrxGa19(x=0,2,4,6)合金的微观组织结构、马氏体相变特性、力学性能及形状记忆效应。结果表明:当x=0时,合金呈现出单一的四方结构马氏体相;当x≥2时,合金的微观组织为包含马氏体相和γ相的双相结构;随着Cr元素的增加,合金的马氏体相变温度逐渐降低,其峰值温度从x=0时的401℃降低到x=6时的197℃。热轧和拉伸试验表明:通过添加Cr元素在合金微观组织中引入γ相可有效地提高合金的热加工性能和塑性,x≥4的合金可通过常规热轧得到表面状态良好的1mm厚的片材,合金的拉伸应力和应变在x=4和6时分别为497MPa,8%和454MPa,5.5%;x=4的合金在残余应变为4.5%时可得到2.7%的形状记忆回复,而x=6的合金在残余应变为3.5%时的可回复应变为1.9%。
The microstructure,martensitic transformation behavior,mechanical and shape memory properties of Ni56Mn25-xCrxGa19(x=0,2,4,6) alloys were investigated.Single phase of martensite with tetragonal structure is present for x=0,and dual-phase containing martensite and γ phase is observed for x≥2.The martensitic transformation peak temperatures decrease monotonically from 401 ℃ for x=0 to 197 ℃ for x=6.The introduction of γ phase by Cr addition is proved to be effective in improving the workability and ductility.The tensile stress and strain are 497 MPa and 8 % for x=4,and 454 MPa and 5.5 % for x=6,respectively.The shape memory strain values are 2.7 % under a residual strain of 4.5 % for x=4,and 1.9 % under a residual strain of 3.5 % for x=6,respectively.
