Abstract

In this work an alternative technique to produce shape memory wires directly from the molten was developed. In this method, the alloy is melted in a high frequency induction furnace with the levitation melting technique and suctioned through a quartz tube connected to a low-pressure chamber. Cu-Al-Nb wires with a diameter of 1.3 mm and length of about 150mm were obtained by this procedure. Their microstructure and physical properties were studied using X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and DSC thermal analysis.
