    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the useful life of a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator, wherein the SMA element contracts on heating and elongates on cooling under an applied stress and that property is used as an actuating technique. More specifically, the present invention relates to the cooling aspect of the cycle and maintaining a martensite strain on the actuator SMA element at less than about 3% by limiting the upper stress on the element. In the most preferred embodiment, the element is a ribbon actuator prepared from a nickel-titanium SMA alloy.

    摘要: A complex part composed of rapidly solidified magnesium base metal alloy is produced by superplastic forming at a temperature ranging from 160.degree. C. to 275.degree. C. and at a rate ranging from 0.00021 m/sec to 0.00001 mm/sec, to improve the formability thereof and allow forming to be conducted at lower temperature. The rapidly solidified magnesium based alloy has a composition consisting essentially of the formula Mg.sub.bal Al.sub.a Zn.sub.b X.sub.c, wherein X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of manganese, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium and yttrium, "a" ranges from 0 to about 15 atom percent, "b" ranges from 0 to about 4 atom percent and "c" ranges from about 0.2 to 3 atom percent, the balance being magnesium and incidental impurities, with the proviso that the sum of aluminum and zinc present ranges from about 2 to 15 atom percent. Such an alloy contains fine grain size and finely dispersed magnesium-, aluminum- rare earth intermetallic phases. When formed, the part exhibits good corrosion resistance together with high ultimate tensile strength and good ductility at room temperature, which properties are, in combination, far superior to those of conventional magnesium alloys. The part is suitable for application as a structural member in helicopters, missiles and air frames where good corrosion resistance in combination with high strength and ductility is important.

    摘要: Improved superplastic aluminum alloys are formulated to contain less than 0.05 weight percent each of iron and silicon based on the total weight of the superplastic aluminum alloy. Advantageously these two elements are present at levels of 0.03 weight percent or below, preferably 0.01 weight percent or below. Advantageous superplastic forming properties are achieved with these low iron, low silicon alloys. Further advantageous superplastic forming properties are achieved by subjecting aluminum alloys to a thermomechanical treatment followed by a rapid recrystallization-anneal treatment as, for instance, a recrystallization-anneal treatment utilizing a molten salt bath. When these formulations and processes are practiced alone, in combination with each other or together with cavitation supression improvements in superplastic forming of component parts are achieved.
