Abstract
AbstractAn unusual yield phenomenon is observed in a heavily worked NiTiFe alloy, which leads to snap action shape memory and superelasticity. The snap action occurs at extremely high velocities and is accompanied by a loud cracking sound. The cause of the instability is attributed to penning, in which martensite growth is halted by having to undergo a reorientation at low angle cell boundaries, which then lowers the resolved shear stress on the martensite plate. Once free of the cell boundary, the plate grows and its strain energy is reduced so that it is able to penetrate subsequent boundaries more easily. This results in a diffuse yield drop, and the said snap action motion.
