It is well known that Cu, Cr, V...) alloys exhibit remarkable shape memory effects and superelasticity accompanying the reverse transformation of thermoelastic martensitic transformation.
また 7iNiCu合金については、形状記憶効果の出
現確認は、オランダ国より出願された特開昭46−15
02号公報に示されている。Regarding the 7iNiCu alloy, the appearance of the shape memory effect was confirmed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 46-15 filed by the Netherlands.
This is shown in Publication No. 02.

報S、57.6第38巻。The inventors also found that the C-added T1Ni alloy has one essential T1Ni alloy.
It has been found that it can help improve the shape memory properties of the 1Ni alloy without impairing its properties (Tohoku University Senken Report S, 57.6, Vol. 38).
特開昭63−11636号公報)。(Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11636/1983).
[発明が解決しようとする課題]
しかしながら1上述した従来のTiN1Cu合金は、C
u添加量の増加と伴に、T1Cuの析出物が増加し、加
工性が悪くな傾向を示す。特に。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional TiN1Cu alloy described above is
As the amount of u added increases, the amount of T1Cu precipitates increases, and the workability tends to deteriorate. especially.
Cu添加量が10at%を越えると、極端に加工性は悪
くなる。このため、その溶解法としては、溶解後、急冷
銅鋳型等に鋳込み、T1Cuの析出を抑える必要があっ
た。When the amount of Cu added exceeds 10 at%, workability becomes extremely poor. Therefore, as a melting method, it was necessary to suppress the precipitation of T1Cu by casting it into a quenched copper mold or the like after melting.
ところが、この溶解方法によれば、溶解インゴットを大
きくすることが不可能であった。すなわち、インゴット
を大きくすることは、急冷効果が弱くなることとなり1
本来抑えなければならないT1Cuが析出してしまう欠
点がある。However, according to this melting method, it was impossible to increase the size of the melted ingot. In other words, increasing the size of the ingot weakens the quenching effect.
There is a drawback that T1Cu, which should originally be suppressed, precipitates.
更に、工業的な溶解法として、高周波真空溶解によって
得た合金を鉄等の鋳型に鋳込むことがよく用いられてい
る。Furthermore, as an industrial melting method, casting an alloy obtained by high frequency vacuum melting into a mold made of iron or the like is often used.
しかしこの方法では、Cu添加が、5at%程度で限界
となり、それ以上のCu添加の合金では。However, in this method, the Cu addition reaches a limit at about 5 at%, and in alloys with more Cu addition.
殆んどの場合、熱間等による加工時点で、ワレ。In most cases, cracks occur during hot processing.
カケを生じさせることとなっていた。It was supposed to cause chips.
一方、TiN1Cu合金は、工業的にはNi濃度の変態
温度依存性を弱める効果はあるものの。On the other hand, although TiN1Cu alloy has the effect of weakening the dependence of Ni concentration on transformation temperature from an industrial perspective.
逆に、所望の変態温度を得難い難点があった。即ち、T
i 5oN i 5o−xc u xなる式でXを変

後である。On the contrary, it was difficult to obtain the desired transformation temperature. That is, T
Even if X is changed according to the formula i5oNi5o-xcux, the transformation temperature of one alloy is approximately 50° C. at the Ms point.
また、変態温度を下げるために、N1m度を化学量論値
(50at%)より増加させることか考えられるが、加
工性は量論値よりはずれるに従い悪くなり、生体温度(
=37℃)以下で超弾性を示す温度、すなわち、Ms点
を30℃以下とすることが困難となる。Also, in order to lower the transformation temperature, it may be possible to increase N1m degree above the stoichiometric value (50 at%), but the processability deteriorates as it deviates from the stoichiometric value, and the biological temperature (
= 37° C.) or lower, it becomes difficult to maintain the temperature at which superelasticity is exhibited, that is, the Ms point to be 30° C. or lower.
尚、これを解決する手段として、Cr、Fe等の第4元

る。As a means to solve this problem, the addition of a fourth element such as Cr or Fe is shown in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-28518, but although it is recognized to be effective in lowering the transformation temperature, it is difficult to process. The current situation is that sexual performance has not improved.
そこで1本発明の技術的課題は、上記欠点に鑑みTiN

下げた形状記憶合金を提供することにある。Therefore, one technical problem of the present invention is to solve the problem of TiN in view of the above drawbacks.
The object of the present invention is to provide a shape memory alloy that does not impair the functional features of the 1Cu alloy, has improved workability, and has a transformation temperature sufficiently lowered to a region that exhibits superelasticity at biological temperatures.

[実施例] 次に本発明の実施例を図面を参照して説明する。[Example] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
まず、高周波真空溶解法によって得た合金を。First, an alloy obtained by high frequency vacuum melting method.
鋳鉄鋳型による徐冷および水冷銅鋳型による急冷の2種
類の鋳込み方法をによって、インゴットを作成した。そ
れらを900℃の容体化処理後、熱間加工を行った。Ingots were produced using two types of casting methods: slow cooling using a cast iron mold and rapid cooling using a water-cooled copper mold. After a 900° C. compacting treatment, they were subjected to hot working.

t% NQ, 8 cracked during hot working and could not be processed. It should be noted that alloy No. 10 could be sufficiently processed by rapid cooling, but this is probably because the precipitation of TiCu could be controlled by rapid cooling. However, Cu addition of 15 at% could not be processed by any of the methods.
また、変態点を下げるために、Ni濃度をlat%増加

かった。Furthermore, alloy No. 13, in which the Ni concentration was increased by lat% in order to lower the transformation point, could not be processed even by rapid cooling.
一方7本発明合金よれば、徐冷によってもいづれの合金

。On the other hand, according to the seven invention alloys, any of the alloys could be processed by slow cooling. In addition, if the Cu concentration is high (・Cu
The Nα3 and No.6 alloys with an additive content of 15 at% were prone to cracking (and it was difficult to say that the workability was sufficiently improved).
第1図にTi5゜Ni4o−ycLJ+oc)’ t:

CLl 1o (V −1〜2)の各々の合金のMs点

y-i~5) and T i 5O-YN i 4O-F
The relationship between the Ms point and the amount of C added for each alloy of CLl 1o (V -1 to 2) is shown.
図中、aはNiをCに置換したものであり、bはTiに
Cを置換したものの結果である。In the figure, a shows the result of replacing Ni with C, and b shows the result of replacing C with Ti.
aシリーズは、C添加による変態温度低下効果は薄い。In the a series, the effect of lowering the transformation temperature due to the addition of C is weak.
一方、bシリーズはTiとの置換であるため、変態温度
の低下効果は強<、2at%添加すると、Ms点は約1
0℃程度まで低下し、37℃での超弾性が十分に得られ
ることが分かる。On the other hand, since the b series is replaced with Ti, the effect of lowering the transformation temperature is strong. When 2 at% is added, the Ms point is approximately 1
It can be seen that the temperature decreases to about 0°C, and sufficient superelasticity can be obtained at 37°C.
添加したCはマトリックス中のTiと主に反応して、T
icの析出物を形成することは1本発明者らの研究によ
って明らかにされている。The added C mainly reacts with Ti in the matrix, resulting in T
The formation of IC precipitates has been clarified by research conducted by the present inventors.
このことは、TiN1C合金についても同様のことが云

なるために変態温度への影響は大きくなる。また、溶解
中に生成したTiCがT1Cuの析出を抑える効果を持
つために表−1に示すような加工性の改善が図られるも
のと思われる。It is thought that the same can be said of the TiN1C alloy. Even if it is replaced with Ni as in the a series, the amount of Ni that acts on the transformation temperature can be seen as the amount of (N i +C), so it does not have a significant effect. However, Ti
When it is replaced with (N i +C) ji becomes larger than Ti, the influence on the transformation temperature becomes greater. In addition, since the TiC produced during melting has the effect of suppressing the precipitation of T1Cu, it is thought that the workability is improved as shown in Table 1.
しかし、C添加量は0.25at%以下の場合、加工性
の改善効果は認め難い、また5at%を越えても。However, if the amount of C added is less than 0.25 at%, it is difficult to see any improvement in workability, and even if it exceeds 5 at%.
加工性の著しい改善は認められない。No significant improvement in workability was observed.
即ち2本発明の最適C添加量は0,5〜1.5 at%
である。また、Cu量が、15at%程度の場合には、
C添加を大きくしても加工性は改善するものの、工業的
に供し得難<、Cu添加の限度は15at%未満と思わ
れる。That is, the optimum amount of C added in the present invention is 0.5 to 1.5 at%.
It is. Moreover, when the Cu amount is about 15 at%,
Although processability is improved even if the addition of C is increased, it is difficult to use it industrially, and the limit of addition of Cu is thought to be less than 15 at%.
次に、熱間加工によって得た本発明に係わるNo。Next, No. according to the present invention obtained by hot working.

Superelasticity similar to the conventional T1Ni binary alloy was obtained, but 6
At 00°C, it was found that although superelasticity was exhibited, the repeatability was slightly inferior.
