Surface Roughness-Controlled Superelastic Hysteresis in Shape Memory Microwires

Superelasticity in Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy microwires is studied as a function of surface roughness. Wires with a rough surface finish dissipate more than twice as much energy per unit volume during a superelastic cycle than do electropolished wires with smooth surfaces. We attribute the increas...
