Abstract
- Abstract Oligocrystalline Cu-Al-Mn shape memory foams with a pore size of 0.8–1.1 mm and a porosity of ∼70% were prepared by the silica-gel beads infiltration method, subjected to long-time and cyclic heat treatments. The effect of grain size and oligocrystallinity (ratio of grain size to strut node diameter) on the damping and pseudoelastic properties of the foams were investigated. The peak damping increases with oligocrystallinity because a higher oligocrystallinity favors the martensite accommodation and mobility of phase interfaces during martensitic transformation. The low-amplitude martensite damping first increases and then decreases with increasing oligocrystallinity, because the martensite plates grow wider in larger grains with lower grain constraints, leading to fewer interfaces and lower damping. The high-amplitude martensite damping increases linearly with increasing oligocrystallinity, despite the wider martensite plates and reduced interfaces, indicating that the mobility of martensite plates for higher displacements is more favored by reduced grain constraints. The maximum recovery strain increases linearly with oligocrystallinity and a high value of 5.53% was achieved after cyclic heat treatment for 16 times, corresponding to an oligocrystallinity of 7.88. The high recovery strain results from the reduced triple junctions and grain boundary area due to grain enlargement that lowers the grain constraints. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Various oligocrystallinities of Cu-Al-Mn oSMFs were obtained by heat treatments. • Grain growth in the oSMFs was limited by the complex pore structure and overheating. • The peak damping increases and martensite plates widen as oligocrystallinity grows. • The high-amplitude martensite damping increases linearly with oligocrystallinity. • The max recovery strain increases linearly with oligocrystallinity, reaching 5.53%.
