Abstract
Our laboratory crew have been researched the functional properties and the mechanical properties of thermoelastic and magnetoelastic Shape Memory alloy applied by Rapid-Solidification method. When thermoelastic SMA composition is Ti-rich 50Ti-40Ni-10Cu(Ti54Ni40Cu6), we accomplished better SM properties using the nano thin plate precipitates and non-equilibrium phase. While, Spark Plasma Sintering(SPS) method was applied these rapidly solidified(RS) ribbons to make the bulky and most suitable sensor/actuator materials with higher power and larger volume for wider range of engineering application. This research is to manufacture high-performance RS-ribbon, furthermore SPSed RS-ribbon, and measuring lots of these performances.
