Abstract
ABSTRACTThe pseudoelastic behavior of Fe3Al and Fe3Ga alloys with the D03 structure is reviewed. In general, pseudoelasticity of shape memory alloys is based on a thermoelastic martensitic transformation. However, pseudoelasticity regardless of the martensitic transformation is found to take place in D03-ordered Fe3Al and Fe3Ga alloys. For instance, a 1/4<111> superpartial dislocation in Fe3Al alloys moves independently dragging an antiphase boundary (APB). During unloading, the APB pulls back the superpartial to decrease its energy resulting in pseudoelasticity, which is called “APB pseudoelasticity”. Moreover, D03-type Fe3Ga alloys were found to demonstrate three types of pseudoelasticity based on the dislocation motion, twinning and martensitic transformation depending on the chemical composition, degree of D03 order, loading axis, stress sense and deformation temperature. The mechanism of the pseudoelasticities in the D03-type intermetallics is discussed based on some in situ observations. The effects of chemical composition, deformation temperature and crystal orientation on the pseudoelastic behaviors are also discussed.
