Abstract

This paper summarizes our recent study of NiAI+Fe+B alloy ribbons containing 4 to 20% Fe and doped with 300 wt ppm B. Alloy ribbons were successfully fabricated by rapid solidification via melt spinning. The alloys with 8% Fe and 34% Al-equivalent [=Al%+(Fe%)/2] showed the best bend ductility at room temperature. The ribbons exhibited a reversible martensite (body-centered orthorombic structure) to B2 transformation as evidenced by DSC, X-ray and TEM studies. The shape-memory effect, as characterized by measuring the recovery of bend angles with temperature, is sensitive to alloy composition, with the best recovery observed in SMA-15 (B-doped Ni-27% Al-14% Fe). Annealing at 600°C causes aging embrittlement; in particular, in alloys containing 12% Fe.
