Effect of the Manufacturing Process on the Texture and the Fraction of Stress-induced Martensite in an Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni Shape Memory Alloy

This study analyzes how the particular forming process and the consequent texture development affects the amount of stress-induced ɛ martensite in an Fe-15Mn-5Si-9Cr-5Ni shape memory alloy. Besides determining the quantity of martensite produced, we measured the critical transformation temperatures and analyzed the effect of the manufacturing procedures on the SME properties.
