Definitions

  • the invention is based on a method for generating and stabilizing a two-way memory effect according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a method for Cu / Al / Ni and Cu / Al alloys in order to induce a considerable reversible two-way memory effect in these substances and, if appropriate, to stabilize this effect in such a way that from the said Alloys components that can be used in practice can be produced.
  • FIG. 2 shows a time / temperature diagram of the sequence of the individual method steps corresponding to the flow diagram of FIG. 1.
  • 1 represents the usual solution annealing mostly at approx. 850 ° C, ie the transformation of the alloy into the structure of the / 3 -mixing crystal
  • 2 the subsequent water quenching to carry the metastable state to room temperature.
  • 3 is to achieve a memory effect and for shaping of the component necessary critical deformation step, which can be carried out at room temperature or in principle at any temperature below 300 ° C. After this deformation, the workpiece does not necessarily have to be relieved. In the event of deformation above room temperature, it can be cooled.
  • 5 is the step of shape stabilization, which is carried out at 150 to 425 ° C.
  • step 3 the state according to step 5 can optionally also be reached via step 4 (maintaining the temperature).
  • 7 and 8 illustrate an optional one-way effect treatment followed by slow cooling. However, these steps can also be omitted.
  • the additional advantageous step of martensite stabilization with subsequent slow cooling is shown in sections 9 and 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows a diagram of the two-way effect using the example of a bending rod.
  • the deflection (deflection) f in mm is plotted as a function of the temperature T in ° C. If you go through a temperature cycle between about room temperature and 200 o C, the reversible deflection that follows the hysteresis curves is achieved. Curve 13 corresponds to the effect without, curve 14 to that with martensite stabilization. The quantitative improvement due to martensite stabilization is clearly evident.
  • the maximum achievable deflection difference of approx. 5 mm between the high and low temperature phase corresponds in the present case to an elongation S of approx. 1.3%. 4 schematically shows a test device for bending rods.
  • 15 is the bending rod made of memory alloy. 15 represents a clamping device for the bending rod, that is to say the so-called fixed point. 17 is a cord which is guided over a cable pulley 18 and by means of a counterweight 19 is slightly tense. The cord 17 is attached to the movable end of the bending bar 15. The counterweight 19 is dimensioned such that it is only with certainty that the frictional forces when moving process overcomes.
  • the arrow represents the direction of movement of the deflection of the bending rod 15, which, with full deflection (deflection), reaches the position according to FIG. 21 with its axis. The movements can be read or registered on a sensor (not shown) mounted on the roller 18.
  • the rod had a square cross section of 2.5 x 2.5 mm and a length of 35 mm. It was treated similarly to the procedure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. First, the rod was pre-shaped at a temperature of 900 ° C in such a way that its longitudinal axis described a circular arc with a radius of -37 mm (negative sign, since curvature in the opposite direction with respect to the later definitive shape). The pre-bent rod was then subjected to solution annealing at a temperature of 950 ° C. for 15 minutes and subsequent quenching in cold water (similar to 1 and 2 in FIG. 2). The rod was then bent in the opposite direction at room temperature so that its longitudinal axis described a radius of + 35 mm.
  • Example I A test bar of the same dimensions and the same composition as in Example I was subjected to solution annealing at 850 ° C. for 10 minutes in the flat (stretched) state and then quenched in cold water. The rod was then bent to a radius of 22 mm at room temperature, which corresponded to an outermost fiber elongation of 5.4%. The bent rod was then held at a temperature of 300 ° C for 30 minutes under load. The load was removed while still warm and the relieved rod was slowly cooled to room temperature. The test was carried out in the same manner as in Example I. With this material without “martensite stabilization", greater scatter and less two-way effects were found than with the stabilized one according to Example I.
  • a torsion bar of the same composition as in Example I was subjected to a corresponding treatment and test.
  • the rod had a round cross-section, with a diameter of 3 mm and a measuring length of 24 mm. It was first solution annealed at a temperature of 850 ° C for 10 minutes and then quenched in cold water. The rod was heated to 100 ° C and twisted (twisted) at this temperature by a total angle ⁇ of 80 o with respect to the circular cross sections at the ends of the measuring length.
  • the twist angle ⁇ of the outermost fiber of the helix with the cylinder generating line (pitch angle) was approximately 5 °, which corresponded to an elongation of 6% in the main stress directions (tension and compression).
  • the rod was held in this tensioned position and heated to a temperature of 300 ° C. This state was maintained for 20 minutes. Then the rod was relieved and slowly cooled to room temperature. The two-way effect on torsion was then determined by going through a temperature cycle of 0 to 250 ° C.
  • the achievable reversible angle difference ⁇ of the circular cross sections at both ends of the measuring length was 9 °, which corresponded to a twist angle cC (pitch angle) of 34 '.
  • the equivalent of the strains in the two main stress directions was thus about 0.7%.
  • a tensile bar with the same composition and the same dimensions as the torsion bar according to Example III was subjected to a corresponding treatment and test. It was first subjected to solution annealing at a temperature of 850 ° C. for 15 minutes and then quenched in cold water. Then the rod was subjected to tensile stress in its longitudinal axis at room temperature and stretched (stretched) by an amount of 4%. While maintaining the applied load (tensile stress), the rod was heated to 300 ° C. and held in this state for 20 minutes. The load was then removed and the rod slowly cooled to room temperature. The two-way effect measured on various test specimens in the temperature interval from 0 to 200 ° C. was 0.2 to 0.5%. It could be significantly improved by the martensite stabilization treatment according to 9 in FIG. 2 and kept within narrow limits.
  • any memory alloy of the ⁇ -brass type which shows a well-known one-way effect in the natural state (i.e. after conventional treatment), but shows a negligible two-way effect, can be brought into a state according to the new method, where it has a clear two-way effect suitable for practical use having.
  • These primarily include the alloys of the types Cu / Al / Ni and Cu / Al.
  • solution annealing can be carried out at different temperatures (usually between 850 and 950 ° C).
  • the decisive process step corresponding to the shape stabilization can in the temperature range of 150 to 425 ° C for 0.5 to 180 min, the shorter times apply to the higher temperatures.
  • the load to be applied at the same time must be dimensioned such that a tension (tension, pressure or thrust) is generated which corresponds to an elongation of at least 1%. In the case of thrust, this means that the displacement angle ⁇ (pitch angle for torsion) must be at least 50 '.
  • the martensite stabilization can be carried out in the temperature range between 200 and 400 ° C for 1 min to 4 h.
  • the zero point stabilization of the two-way effect is advantageously carried out at a temperature which corresponds to the later maximum operating temperature (in our case approx. 200 ° C.).
  • the duration of the heating should be at least 1 min.
  • the present new method has shown the way for the first time how a two-way effect that can be used in practice can be achieved with memory alloys of the ⁇ -brass type, which normally only show a pronounced one-way effect.
