Low-Hysteresis Shape Memory Alloy Scale-Up: DSC, XRD and Microstructure Analysis on Heat-Treated Vacuum Induction Melted Ni-Ti-Cu-Pd Alloys

Quaternary Ni-Ti-Cu-Pd formulations were cast by vacuum induction melting (VIM) with the aim of preparing low-hysteresis shape memory alloys and verifying the applicability of the Co-Factor theory in conventional industrial manufacturing processes. The cast alloys showed lower transformation hystere...
