Abstract

Three iron based shape memory alloys were studied and Fe–6Si–14Mn–9Cr–5Ni alloy showed the best shape memory effect. By thermomechanical training, the shape memory effect was improved and an absolute recovery strain of 6·2% was obtained. To promote the ε→&ggr; transformation, which is not complete even after heating the alloy to 1000 K, the As and Af temperatures are decreased and the transformation enthalpy is increased by thermal cycling and increasing prestrain. The alloy also shows good creep and stress relaxation resistance. In addition, under a tensile force of 20 kN and a sealing test pressure of 6 MPa pipe joints made using the alloy remain effective and can satisfy the requirements for possible industrial applications.
