Abstract
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are as special class of intermetallics which can be deformed but will return to their original shape when heated. Shape Memory Effect (SMEs) and pseudoelastic effect are related to the same underlying mechanism. SMAs have been used in different biomedical, mechanical, and aeronautical utilizations. Cu-Al-Fe Shape Memory Alloy is a high-temperature SMA that has the potential to replace Ni-Ti SMAs in a number of applications. It can operate over 200 °C with quite excellent SME. Machining copper-based alloys is easier than machining nickel-based alloys. Also, copper alloys are cheaper than nickel titanium based alloys. This work concentrates on fabricating Cu-Al-Fe alloys using Vacuum Induction Melting process and characterizing the alloys using techniques like X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
