Abstract
Si content dependence of the shape memory effect (SME) associated with the ε-martensitic transformation has been investigated in Fe-17Mn-xSi-0.3C (x=0,2,4,6) alloys (mass%). By conducting tensile deformations and subsequent heating to above the Af, it has been found that reduction of mere 2% Si content from 6% to 4% obviously deteriorates the SME. The Neel and Ms temperatures in both Fe-17Mn4%Si-0.3C and Fe-17Mn6%Si-0.3C alloys are content with the conditions concerning the good SME. By obtaining stress-strain curves at various temperatures, it has been found that the Fe17Mn-4Si-0.3C alloy has similar critical stresses for ε-martensitic transformation and slip deformation to the critical stresses in the Fe-17Mn-6Si-0.3C alloy. As a consequence, the SME in Fe-Mn-Si-C system sometimes does not appear, even if ε-martensitic transformation preferentially occurs.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
