The shape memory alloy (SMA) is expected to be applied as intelligent materials since it shows the unique characteristics of the shape memory effect and superelasticity. In the growing number of TiNi SMA applications, these materials should fulfill high requirements of fatigue, corrosion and wear resistance. On the other hand, the application of SMA has some limitations, particularly in thermomechanical cyclic loading cases. In these cases, fatigue of SMA is one of the important properties in view of evaluating functional characteristics as SMA elements. The study on enhancement of the fatigue life for TiNi SMA by ultrasonic-shot peening (USP) has not been investigated till now. In particular, since impressions appear little by USP in the region of superelasticity, the influence of USP on the fatigue life is not clear. In this paper, we report and discuss the influence of USP shot media diameter d and coverage c on the bending fatigue life of TiNi SMA tape which shows superelasticity.

Although this property has been known more than a half-century ago, its mechanism has not been clarified yet. In this study we have evaluated the effects of magnetic treatments to the anelasticity of steel compression coil springs during elastic deformation in experiments. We measured the temporal change of recovery lengths of the specimens after unloading with or without magnetic stirring under 180mT, since free length change of the coil spring is the summation of the faint twist modification in the steel wire. Each spring of 20mm long showed about 20 μ m length of recovery in 2 hours from the point of 90 second after the unloading. It indicates some bowing-out dislocations during the compression were interrupted with certain disturbances. The length of recovery was increased in 10 % for the magnetic stirring specimens. Since alternatively changed external magnetic field expands the length of magnetic domain walls in steel, it suggests the walls might play the role of obstacles, such as weak pinning sites, against the recovery movement of the dislocations in anelasticity.

A non-circular wire helical spring generally has a high spring constant and reduces the spring height at fully compressed condition, although the energy absorption decreases during deformation. For improving this energy absorption, we have applied Fe-Mn-Si based alloy ( FMS ) to the spring. FMS that is one of the shape memory alloys ( SMA ) have more reasonable and workable than any other type of the SMAs, e.g. Ti-Ni alloy. Its shape memory effect and super elasticity that are caused with the stress-induced γ( Austenite )⇔ ε martensitic transformation have been studied for. The cycled tensile tests are conducted on the springs made of FMS, S45C and SUS304. The load-displacement curve of FMS obtained by the cycled tensile test indicates a reversible large hysteresis loop. This is caused by deformation in two different processes of stress-induced martensitic transformation at loading, and reverse transformation at unloading. The non-circular wire helical spring of FMS is able to absorb more energy in early stage during large deformation than of S45C and SUS304.

Recently, the demand for improved efficiency of combustion engines is rising with the strict emission constraint. Therefore the requirement for heat resistance is increasing for materials used for springs in automobile exhaust system because the exhaust gas temperature becoming higher. Co-W-Al alloys precipitation-strengthened with the γ’ phase have good high temperature strength and considered to have potential for higher temperature application than conventional Ni base super-alloys. However, for coil spring application, materials must have enough workability in hot and cold roll to make coil wire. In order to enhance hot workability and high temperature mechanical properties, Ni and Cr were added and the optimization was performed in the chemical composition of Co-Ni-Cr-W-Al alloy. In this article, optimization of chemical composition, and relaxation property of coil spring of the developed “ COWALOY ® ” are reported.
