Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examine the orientation dependence of plasticity and fracture in single-crystal superelastic Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloy (SMA) bars. For this purpose, we prepared 14 single-crystal ...

Abstract: Cu-Al-Mn (CAM) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are cost effective, have a high low-cycle fatigue life and superelastic limit, and a wide temperature application range compared with other types of SMAs. These characteristics of ...

Abstract: This paper examines the feasibility of roll-threading superelastic Cu-Al-Mn shape memory allow (SMA) rods. The key idea behind this study was to perform roll-threading between quenching and aging, where cold workability ...

Abstract: Recently, single-crystal Cu-Al-Mn (CAM) superelastic alloy (SEA) bars have been developed to address the shortcomings of traditional Ni-Ti SEA bars, i.e., high cost, low workability, and lack of superelasticity at low ...
