Abstract

A new, quantitative model was developed to describe the martensite transformation kinetics of thermoelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs). In addition, a series of experiments were conducted to study the Kinetics of thermoelastic martensite transformation in four SMA systems: NiTi, NiTi-15at%Hf, NiTi-20at%Zr and NiMn-7.5at%Ti alloys. Comparisons between data of the kinetic of martensite transformation with the present theoretic models show that the proposed model is in good agreement and concurs with the experimental data. Also, a comparison of data from the proposed model with data from existing kinetic models, such as Liang's and Magee's [1,7], indicates that the proposed model can better describe the experimental data, including the relationship between dξ(T)/dT and ξ, and dξ(T)/dT and T.
